Research Title/Topic: Service Composition and Task Computing in Pervasive Computing Environments
Supervisor: Dr. Torab Torabi & Dr. Seng Loke
Description:
Computing devices are less and less small in sizes, increasingly powerful in computation, and more integrated functionalities. They can be worn by people; or embed into environments or on mobile objects such as vehicles, glasses, shoes, pens and so on for specific purposes. Computing functionalities of these devices are not only resulted from applications installed on them, but also mainly resulted from services and resources on others devices and networks in their surrounding environments. We are assuming that atomic or composite services are presenting in the surrounding environment of a device. Composition of certain services to accomplish a specific task or to offer the current user(s) a set of tasks which can be done in the current context is remaining a great challenge. The requirements of service composition in pervasive environments are completing tasks continuously, transparently, and effortlessly. The purpose of this research is to investigate and propose a solution for this challenge.
