Abstract
We propose a new service composition method with the analytic hierarchy process and discuss its availability. The concept of context-aware services has been attracting attention as an approach to improving the usability of computer-mediated services. In ubiquitous computing environments, there are several means to provide services for users, and thus, to select an appropriate mean among them is a challenge. Our method for context-aware service composition determines service behaviors by context data. Through the implementation and examination of the method, we have found that the method can output reasonable results.
