Abstract
In many cases, atomic Web services are not able to provide requested functionality. Therefore, the composition task is required on available atomic services. In addition, Context awareness in Web services is gaining momentum as the opportunity to benefit the interactions between human, applications and the environment. So, it seems reasonable to use available context information in composition procedure to provide a composite Semantic Web service which is adapted to the context of participant Web services and user. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for semi-automatic context-aware composition of stateless context-aware Semantic Web Services. One of the main characteristics of proposed approach is the ability of considering the degree of context-awareness of the service in the composition procedure. Moreover, we use a new schema for Semantic Web service description which is able to represent both functional and non-functional information about context-aware Semantic Web services.
