The World Wide Web is becoming increasingly personalized as users provide more of their information on the Web. Thus, Web service functionality is becoming reliant on user profile information and context in order to provide user-specific data. In this paper, we discuss enhancements to SECE (Sense Everything, Control Everything), a platform for context-aware service composition based on user-def...

Considering the existing problems in Web service such as lack of semantic information and interoperability, atomic services can not cooperate with each other and be combined into composite services. In this paper, based on extended UDDI, we present a semantic annotation framework for Web service description and composition. The novel service matching algorithm not only takes into account the he...

Integrating distributed manufacturing systems is a longstanding dream of industrial engineers. The advent of Internet technologies has provided opportunities to fulfill this dream, and has presented new challenges to overcome. Since most current Internet technologies including SOA and web services, originated in business applications, it is difficult to apply them directly to manufacturing syst...

Grid computing environments include heterogeneous resources shared by a large number of computers to handle the data and process intensive applications. In these environments, the required resources must be accessible for Grid applications on demand, which makes the resource discovery as a critical service. In recent years, various techniques are proposed to index and discover the Grid resource...

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 (WS) discovery is a critical problem hindering web service technology proliferation. The current solution, based on catalog-style browsing, provides no control over the quality of registered services. Application of matching techniques for WS retrieval is still under investigation. The objective of this work is the design of a framework to improve WS discovery. Our approach is based...

In this paper a pattern language for service discovery is introduced. These patterns were mined from several existing service discovery protocols, and from protocols which are generally used for service discovery, but have not been discussed under the theme of service discovery in the research community. In this paper everything preceding the actual service usage is considered as service discov...
