Service-Oriented Architectures enable the consumption of existing services in a standardized way to solve some specific needs. In order to consume some services made available by cooperating parties e.g. for performing some business activity, such services must be located based on different criteria. In this paper, we investigate how the semantic description of the capability of Web services an...

Semantic Web Services (SWS) propose to extend the traditional Web Services technologies on the way to consolidate ontologies and semantics. This makes it possible to select, integrate and invocate services dynamically. In this way, services are able to dynamically adapt themselves to changes without human intervention. The main purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm for matching SWS. ...

Composite services commonly expose the choreography of message exchanges realized by their constituent services through appropriate descriptions and interfaces. Such information is very useful in deciding whether a composite service fully meets the behavioral requirements of a specific application or not. However, expressing behavioral requirements towards a service is currently a challenging t...

A protocol to perform service discovery in adhoc networks is introduced in this paper. Attenuated Bloom filters are used to distribute services to nodes in the neighborhood and thus enable local service discovery. The protocol has been implemented in a discrete event simulator to investigate the behavior in case of a multihop mobile ad-hoc network with nodes that all have services to offer. Met...

Current Semantic Web Service discovery mechanism consumes too much resource and lacks the ability to be used in real-world, large-scale situations. This paper propose a new kind of Semantic Web Service framework based on the concept of dividing the Semantic Web into different domains, and by introducing a kind of Semantic Web Service Router to help reduce the set of service description informat...
