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...

This paper shows that the problem of web services representation is crucial and analyzes the various factors that influence on it. It presents the traditional representation of web services considering traditional textual descriptions based on the information contained in WSDL files. Unfortunately, textual web services descriptions are dirty and need significant cleaning to keep only useful inf...

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...

Service discovery is one key aspect in the enabling technologies for service-oriented systems including Web Services. Growing attention has been paid to the content of business and service descriptions to allow services to be discovered more flexibly and accurately. This paper presents an information model called an integrated service profile that covers aspects of Web Services, i.e. attribute-...

Due to the availability of huge number of Web services (WSs), finding an appropriate WS according to the requirement of a service consumer is still a challenge. In this paper, we present a new and flexible approach, called SeqDisc, that assesses the similarity between WSs. In particular, the approach exploits the Prüfer encoding method to represent WSs as sequences capturing both semantic and s...

the ability to discover services in mobile ad hoc network (manet) is a major prerequisite. cluster basedcross layer intelligent service discovery for manet (cbisd) is cluster based architecture, caching ofsemantic details of services and intelligent forwarding using network layer mechanisms. the cluster basedarchitecture using semantic knowledge provides scalability and accuracy. also, the mini...

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...

UDDI Registry is one possibility for discovery and description utility for web services. UDDI is a standard created by OASIS. Description and discovery capabilities of UDDI registry are broad. In order to achieve a standard way of description guidelines should be available. Performance of UDDI registry seems to be quite poor. The reason for poor performance is probably that UDDI is too generic ...

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...
