Abstract
In pervasive computing, it is the physical environment that provides medium to satisfy user requirements. A context-aware approach of service composition in pervasive computing environments is proposed. Services are represented by autonomous mobile agents, and they establish relationship network based on affinity to provide service composition. Affinity adjustment depends on three factors, namely, the matching strength of mobile agents, the service quality score, and the trust. In this way, the method completes a series of work from composition to management autonomously. It adapts well to the changes of dynamic environments.
