Context is understood as any information about the user needs and operating environment which vary dynamically and have an impact on design choices. Context aware Services oriented systems have emerged as an underlying design and development paradigm. An important challenge in such systems is context modeling, reasoning and adaptating services behavior. Using ontologies and semantic web services to deal with context aware services has attracted a lot of interest. In this paper, we present an architecture for the development of context aware services based on ontologies. We highlight our context metamodel and discuss about reasoning process. we also present our semantic approach for service adaptation in context aware environment.

Service composition is a way to plan a business process to fulfill business goals that cannot be achieved by individual business services. Given a representation of services in OWL-S, service composition can be modeled as an Artificial Intelligence planning (AI planning) problem. Based on the initial context and the goal context, planning-based service composition launches a goal-oriented composition procedure to generate a plan for the service composition. In this paper, we present an overview of the architecture for the composition of context aware services based on ontologies, we also present our Composition Planner that allows to generate a plan corresponding to the request of the users according to their context.}, isbn = {978-1-4799-3824-7}, author = {Fissaa, Tarik and Guermah, Hatim and Hafiddi, Hatim and Nassar, Mahmoud and Kriouile, Abdelaziz} } @conference { ISI:000341079600025, title = {Context Modeling and Reasoning for building Context Aware Services}, booktitle = {2013 ACS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS (AICCSA)}, year = {2013}, note = {IEEE and Arab-Computing-Society (ACS) International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA), Al Akhawayn Univ, Ifrane, MOROCCO, MAY 27-30, 2013}, publisher = {IEEE; Arab Comp Soc}, organization = {IEEE; Arab Comp Soc}, abstract = {The rapid evolution of software paradigms, wireless technologies and mobile devices induced the emergence of new applications called context-aware services oriented applications.

Ontology based models presents the most promising instrument for context modeling and offers possibility of applying ontology reasoning techniques. the aim of context reasoning is converting low-level context to high-level context in order to provide costumized services to users.

An important challenge in such applications is context modeling, using ontologies to model context information and to reason about context at a semantic level has attracted a lot of interest in the research community. However, most of the presented approaches do not usually take into account any software engineering method. Therefore, employing standard approaches to formulate the development process becomes of importance.
