A semantic-aware framework for composite services engineering based on semantic similarity and concept lattices

Abstract

This paper presents a semantic framework called IDECSE for composite Web services modeling and engineering. This framework uses semantic similarity measures and Formal Concept Analysis formalism to generate classes of similar services that can be composable to satisfy users queries and preferences. A reasoning mechanism is also proposed to produc reliable composite services. By considering semantics for describing, discovering, composing, and monitoring services, IDECSE addresses the challenge of achieving a full governance of the composition process.
