The CAWE Framework - Enhancing Service Oriented Architecture with Context Awareness (Extended Abstract)

The development of Web applications based on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) is challenged by the lack of support to the specification of explicit context adaptation policies. As an answer to this issue, we present the Context Aware Workflow Execution framework (CAWE), which enriches SOA with (a) context-aware workflow management; (b) dialog management capabilities supporting the adaptation of the interaction with the individual user, and (c) context-dependent User Interface generation.
