With more and more web services appearing on the web, web service’s discovery mechanism becomes essential. UDDI is an online registry standard to facilitate the discovery of business partners and services. Service requesters can choose good performance web services by manual test and comparison. However, this method of choosing is inefficient and costly in terms of time and money. The ability t...

This paper describes our experience with the use of Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) technology for supporting location-based service discovery. Our goal is to allow Web Services to be associated with physical locations and then queried according to spatial criteria. This would enable location-based applications to use local UDDI registries to discover the Web Services th...

Composition of web services has received much interest to support business-to-business or enterprise application integration. Current standards to formalize the specification of web services, their flow composition and execution are introduced in this paper. Web services composition includes static and dynamic composition. We thoroughly introduced the static composition based on BPEL4WS through...

The choice of a suitable service provider is an important issue often overlooked in existing architectures. Current systems focus mostly on the service itself, paying little (if at all) attention to the service provider. In the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registries have been proposed as a way to publish and find information about...

As we know daily thousands of new service providers register their services in the UDDI. The number of service providers providing the same functionality increases day by day. So it is very difficult for the service requester to choose the best service provider for their requirements from the UDDI. Hence web service selection plays a huge role in providing the best web services to the service r...

Web Service is growing to its peak for static networks, e. g. UDDI, but the improvement of the service for wireless networks, especially for MANETs is still required. At the same time, service discovery is basic technology in the MANETs. So, in this paper we propose an Improved UDDI Protocol used for MANETs (I-UDDI4m thereafter) in obtaining the information of Web Service actively, which is bas...

There is a lack of meaningful description of Web Services in UDDI, however, it is necessary for automatic services discovery. In this paper, a language is proposed for semantics description of Web Services which complements the UDDI standards to derive relationships among Web Services. The semantics description can be used to automatically derive relationships among Web Services. We describe ho...

The authors take a broad view that ultimately Gridor Web-services must be located via personalised, semantic-rich discovery processes. They argue that such processes must rely on the storage of arbitrary metadata about services that originates from both service providers and service users. Examples of such metadata are reliability metrics, quality of service data or semantic service description...

While the “Universal Description, Discovery and Integration” (UDDI) service registry standard has drawn great attention by the research community, it has not been widely adopted by the software industry. Objections towards UDDI include technical as well as conceptional arguments. Being an official ISO standard and providing a number of features UDDI is missing, “Electronic Business using Extens...
