Design of domain specific language for web services QoS constraints definition

Abstract

Semantic Webservices (SWS) has raised interest in mechanisms for Ontological representation of Web Services. A number of mechanisms most notably WSMO and OWL-S are being developed to represent the same. An important area in description of Web Services is the QoS characterization and discovery which is the focus of research for this paper. A Domain Specific language is being proposed for definition of observable QoS characteristics and conditions. The syntax of this proposed language is being kept closer to WSML considering it the standard modeling language. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
