The Universal Description Discovery & Integration (UDDI) is a specification for XML registry that enables functionality-based publication and discovery of Web services. This paper presents a UDDI extension to support Quality of Service (QoS) management in the context of Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs). To allow service selection according to functional and nonfunctional requirements...

This paper presents a research initiative, which aims at developing replication mechanisms for the dynamic management of the content of several Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registries (Curbera et al., 2003). These replication mechanisms are intended to be deployed in an environment of Web services (Papazoglou & Georgakopoulos, 2003). By content of an UDDI registry, w...

In SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), web service providers use service registries to publish services and requestors use registries to find them. The major current service registry specifications, UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration), has the following drawbacks. First, it replicates all public service publications in all UBR (Universal Business Registry) nodes, which is n...

The public experiment of the semantic service search with the public UDDI registry is shown in this paper. The UDDI is a standard registry for Web Services, but if we consider it as a search engine, the functionality is restrictive, that is, based on keyword retrieval only. Therefore, the Matchmaker was developed to enhance the UDDI search functionality by using semantics such as ontology and c...

UDDI registries are today the standard way of publishing information on web services. They can be thought of as a structured repository of information that can be queried by clients to find the web services that better fit they needs. Even if, at the beginning, UDDI has been mainly conceived as a public registry without specific facilities for security, today security issues are becoming more a...

UDDI registries are included as a standard offering within the product suite of any major SOA vendor, serving as the foundation for establishing design-time and run-time SOA governance. Despite the success of the UDDI specification and its rapid uptake by the industry, the capabilities of its offered service discovery facilities are rather limited. The lack of machineunderstandable semantics in...

Service discovery is a very important component of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). This paper presents two alternative approaches to customise the query results of private service registry such as Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI). The customisation is performed based on some pre-defined and/or real-time changing parameters. This work identifies the requirements, des...

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) presents data-intensive environment for acquiring, processing and sharing geo-data among interested parties. In order to serve geographical information to users in such environment, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles have gained great importance. In SOA-based systems, Information Services support the discovery and handling of these geospatial s...

—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 choosing procedure costs lots of time and energy. The ability to predict the quality ...

As more and more web services appearing on the Internet, how to locate an appropriate service has become a research challenge and an emerging enterprise request. In this paper, we present a transparent web service acquisition system by enhancing the functionality of UDDI to support various service requirements. With this system, a service requester can transparently locate a service which meets...
