    Managing things in an ambient space
    (Springer-Verlag, 2012) ., S.; Atif, Y.; Sheng, Q.; Maamar, Z.; International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (2011 : Paphos, Cyprus)
    We are surrounded by inanimate things that have inherent information. Unfortunately, the vast majority of applications built to use this information are built in ad-hoc manner, introducing issues with maintainability, share-ability and reusability. We discuss the architecture of Ambient Space Manager (ASM), a system to explore and control things within a context-aware ambient space. We define the context variables of such things to be the Capability, Location, Operations and QoS. Here we also elaborate the Capability context based on the atomic capabilities of things that enable them to offer contextual services.

    Towards an approach for weaving preferences into web services operation
    (Academy Publisher, 2012) Maamar, Z.; Sheng, Q.; Atif, Y.; ., S.; Boukadi, K.
    Existing approaches on Web services privacy dominate solutions from a users’ perspective, giving little consideration to the preferences of Web service providers. The integration of service providers’ preferences into Web services’ operations is discussed in this paper. A Web service provider indicates peer Web services that it could interact with as well as the data that they could exchange with. We focus on Privacy and (trust) Partnership preferences based on which, we develop a Specification for Privacy and Partnership Preferences (S3P). This specification suggests a list of exceptional actions to deploy at run-time when these preferences are not met. An integration model of these preferences into Web services design is illustrated throughout a running scenario, and an implementation framework proves the S3P concept.

    Web of things: Description, discovery and integration
    (IEEE, 2011) ., S.; Atif, Y.; Sheng, Q.; Maamar, Z.; IEEE International Conferences on Internet of Things, and Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (2011 : Dalian, China)
    The vision for the "Web of Things" (WoT) aims at bringing physical objects of the world into the World Wide Web. The Web is constantly evolving and has changed over the last couple of decades and the changes have spurted new areas of growth. The primary focus of the WoT is to bridge the gap between physical and digital worlds over a common and widely used platform, which is the Web. Everyday physical "things", which are not Web-enabled, and have limited or zero computing capability, can be accommodated within the Web. As a step towards this direction, this work focuses on the specification of a thing, its descriptors and functions that could participate in the process of its discovery and operations. Besides, in this model for the WoT, we also propose a semantic Web-based architecture to integrate these things as Web resources to further demystify the realization of the WoT vision.
