Abstract
Composition of E-Services in a multichannel environment requires taking into account the constraints imposed by the context: user profiles, geographical locations, available channels, and usable devices.
In this paper, we propose an approach for context-aware composition of E-services based on an abstract description of both E-services and context. E-services are described in terms of functionality and quality of service. The context describes the channels that can be used to access E-services. The paper proposes adaptation rules as the means to allow the composition and dynamically select E-service channels according to the constraints posed by available architectures and application-level requirements. Composition and adaptation rules are exemplified on a simple case for emergency management.
