Smart transport systems are a primary example where real-time location tracking systems record the location availability of assets such as cycles for hire, or fleet vehicles such as buses, trains and trams. We consider the problem of an informed user optimising his journey using a composition of services offered by different service providers. date: 2015 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science number: 8950 publisher: Springer pagerange: 490-505 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-319-15545-6_28 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-319-15545-6 book_title: Software, Services, and Systems official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-15545-6_28 citation: Gilmore, Stephen and Hillston, Jane and Tribastone, Mirco Service composition for collective adaptive systems.
