A novel multilevel index model for distributed service repositories

Abstract

This study, based on the theory of equivalence relations, proposes a novel multilevel index model for decentralized service repositories to eliminate redundant information and enhance the time-management quality of the service retrieval process of the service repository architecture. An efficient resource discovery algorithm based on Discrete Hash Tables is presented to enable efficient and effective retrieval services among different distributed repositories. The performance of the proposed model and the supporting algorithms have been evaluated in a distributed environment. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of our proposed indexing model and search algorithm.
