Abstract
The paper discusses the way context is used for Web services personalization. A Web service is an accessible application that other applications and humans can discover and trigger to satisfy various needs such as car rental. Context is the information that characterizes the interactions between humans, applications, and the surrounding environment. Web services are personalized so that users' preferences can be accommodated. Preferences are of different types varying from when the execution of a Web service should start to where the outcome of this execution should be delivered. Besides users' preferences, this paper highlights that the resources on which the Web services are performed have an impact on Web services personalization.

Lecture notes in computer scienceIs Context-Aware Computing Taking Control away from the User? Three Levels of Interactivity Examined
298 Citations2003Louise Barkhuus, Anind K. Dey
This study shows that users feel less in control when using either passive or active context-aware applications than when personalizing their own applications, and concludes that people are willing to give up partial control if the reward in usefulness is great enough.
