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 ...

The Universal Description Discovery & Integration (UDDI) is a standard 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, a BPMS architecture should include brokers to match consum...

Although UDDI does not provide support for semantic search, retrieval and storage, it is already accepted as an industrial standard and a huge number of services already store their service specifications in UDDI. Objective of this paper is to analyze possibilities and ways to use UDDI registry to allow utilization of meta-data encoded according to Semantic Web standards for semantic-based desc...

This paper presents three models which enable the customisation of Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) query results, based on some pre-defined and/or real-time changing parameters. These proposed models detail the requirements, design and techniques which make ranking of Web service discovery results from a service registry possible. Our contribution is two fold: First, we ...

UDDI, Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration, represents a directory for the publication and querying of categorized Web services. Publication and query are performed by utilizing UDDI’s Application programming interface (API), which employs SOAP as a communication instrument. By offering an invocation API in addition to two other types for examination, UDDI allows clients to search ...

UDDI is not suitable for handling semantic markups for Web services due to its flat data model and limited search capabilities. In this paper, we introduce an approach to allow for support of semantic service descriptions and queries using registries that conforms to UDDI V3 specification. Specifically, we discuss how to store complex semantic markups in the UDDI data model and use that informa...

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...

Many characteristics of complex networks, such as small-world, scale-free, aggregation properties, and so on have been thoroughly studied. Super-node structure is an important way to resolve the problem of service node selection in complex network. Two key issues of this method are how to define the scope of super-nodes in their respective communities and how to choose an appropriate super-node...

Public deployment of the semantic service matchmaker to a UDDI registry for half a year is shown in this paper. UDDI is a standard registry for Web Services, but if we consider it a search engine, its functionality is limited to a keyword search. Therefore, the Matchmaker was developed to enhance UDDI by service capability matching. Then, we have deployed the Matchmaker to one of four official ...
