	abstract = {Advances in wireless communications and mobility have increased the use of smart mobile applications. As a result of the remarkable increase of mobile devices and the pervasive wireless networks, a large number of mobile users are requiring personalization services customized to their context. The mobile cloud-computing paradigm from a context-aware perspective aims to find effective ways to make cloud services aware of the context of their customers and applications. Another major challenge for context-aware cloud services is to exploit the benefits of cloud computing to manage transaction processing throughout the life cycle of a service. In this paper, we focused on the need of loosely coupled context-supporting components that work with a transaction-aware service infrastructure to adapt services to the context of the user and his mobile device. We propose a cloud-based middleware for transactional service adaptation (CM4TSA) by adding the "Adaptation as a Service" layer into basic cloud architecture, to perform the correct execution of transactional service according to the user context. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

	abstract = {For some years now, the concept of Cloud Computing (CC) is presented as the new revolution of information technology. It presents not only a technical innovation for better IT system flexibility, improvement of working methods and cost control, but also a new economic model, built around the concept of IT Services that are identifiable, classifiable and countable for end users, who can benefit by paying for use without having to make huge investments. In this paper, we show that despite these advantages, the implementation of such a concept has an impact on the enterprise stakeholders (IT Direction, Business Direction, Suppliers Direction, etc.). Many aspects must be managed differently from traditional systems. Availability, security, privacy and compliance are just some of the aspects that must be monitored and managed more effectively. Thus, the IT based CC governance is a necessity in terms of defining good management practices, especially because there is a lack of an adapted Governance Framework. The current IT governance practices/standards (ITIL, COBIT, ISO2700x, etc.) still have many limitations: they are far from covering an {\textquoteright}end-to-end{\textquoteright} governance; they are difficult to use and to maintain and have many overlapping points. It becomes mandatory for companies to address these challenges and control the capabilities offered by the CC, develop cloud oriented policies that reflect their exact needs and to have a flexible, coherent and global IT based CC Governance Framework. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The rapid evolution of software paradigms, wireless technologies and mobile devices induced the emergence of new applications called context-aware services oriented applications. Such applications provide appropriate services or relevant information to the user or other applications to perform a specific task. An important challenge in such applications development process is context modeling and reasoning. 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 highlevel context in order to provide costumized services to users. In this paper, we present an architecture for the development of context aware services based on ontologies. We also highlight our context metamodel and discuss about reasoning process for e-health systems. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},
