ABSTRACT In mobile environments, users often need to coordinate their actions with other users with regard to user-individual context information like current location when selecting suitable services for a process. Thereby, some users may prefer to conduct particular services together with certain other users. Such multi-user context-aware service selections could result in complex decision problems – making decision support for the participating users highly valuable or even necessary. To do…

Enhancing Decision Support in Multi User Service Selection
TLDR
This work proposes a novel multi user service selection approach taking into account Inter-User-Requests (IUR) and examines the practical applicability by means of a real-world example and shows that considering IUR in multi users service selection can considerably enhance decision support.
Context-aware HCI service selection
TLDR
This paper proposes a service selection algorithm considering not only context information and user preferences but also inter-service relations such as relative location that detects interaction hot spots within user active scope and presents the best service combination based on evaluation of interaction effectiveness.
Decision support for the usage of mobile information services: A context-aware service selection approach that considers the effects of context interdependencies
TLDR
This paper investigates how the effects of context interdependencies can be modelled for the context-aware service selection at planning time (i.e. before starting to accomplish a service composition) and uses the concept of states to model context information for the selection.
A QoS-Aware Service Evaluation Method for Co-selecting a Shared Service
TLDR
A multi-criteria decision-making method, named AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), is introduced to transform both qualitative personal preferences and users' priorities into numeric weights.
Context-based Cooperation in Mobile Business Environments
TLDR
This contribution presents an approach for realizing context-based cooperation built upon on a respective context management infrastructure and execution environment and identifies specific requirements and proposes related enhancements for mobile business applications.
A Heuristic Technique for an Efficient Decision Support in Context-aware Service Selection
TLDR
This technique consists of an approach to decompose end-to-end constraints together with a local selection approach that achieves close to optimal selection results at a fraction of the computation time of an exact solution and thus contributes to an efficient decision support.
Mobility-Enabled Service Selection for Composite Services
TLDR
A mobility model, a mobility-aware QoS computation rule, and a Mobility-enabled selection algorithm with teaching-learning-based optimization are proposed that can obtain near-optimal solutions and has a nearly linear algorithmic complexity with respect to the problem size.
Multi-user web service selection based on multi-QoS prediction
TLDR
This framework first predicts the missing multi-QoS values according to the historical QoS experience from users, and then selects the global optimal solution for multi-user by the fast match approach.
A Novel Method for Optimizing Multi-User Service Selection
TLDR
Experimental results show that the novel method proposed outperforms traditional solutions in terms of computation time while achieving close-to-optimal results, and is particularly suitable for situation of large-scale users and services selection.
Context-Aware Service Selection with Uncertain Context Information
TLDR
This work proposes a mechanism inspired by graph-comparison for matching contextual service descriptions using similarity measures that allow inexact matching, and shows how the proposed mechanism is integrated in MUSIC, an existing adaptation middleware, and how it enables more optimal adaptation decision making.
