Automatic composition of form-based services in a context-aware personal information space

Abstract

Personal Information Spaces (PIS) help in structuring, storing, and retrieving personal information. Still, it is the users' duty to sequence the basic steps in different online procedures, and to fill out the corresponding forms with personal information, in order to fulfill some objectives. We propose an extension for PIS that assists users in achieving this duty. We perform a composition of form-based services in order to reach objectives expressed as workflow of capabilities. Further, we take into account that user personal information can be contextual and that the user may have personal information privacy policies. Our solution is based on graph planning and is fully tool-supported. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
