Abstract
During the past decade, rapid advances of mobile and embedded device technologies as well as services and cloud computing have made "computing anytime, anywhere" and more reachable than ever. Users now can access computing resources over the Internet from various mobile and stationary computing devices with the support of services and cloud computing infrastructures. Applications of services and cloud computing often require situation awareness for better QoS, including usability, adaptability and security, due to the dynamic environment and changes of users' requirements. Substantial research has been done to develop techniques to incorporating situation awareness in various applications of services and cloud computing, including service discovery, composition, and execution, system monitoring and adaptation, authentication and access control as well as context discovery, acquisition and dissemination, situation analysis and recognition. In this lecture, the challenges, current state of the art and future research directions on situation awareness in applications of services and cloud computing will be discussed.
