Design and development of an enhanced UDDI for efficient discovery of web services

Abstract

Web Services paradigm has been widely acknowledged by industry and academic research with the progress of web technology and e-business. Increasing number of web applications have been bundled as web services that can be published, positioned and invoked across the web. The importance of the issues regarding their publication and innovation attains a maximum as web services multiply and become more advanced and mutually dependent. This paper proposes an Enhanced UDDI for discovering web services in an efficient manner within a short response time. Initially, the web services are published in the UDDI registry, which is a standard one for publishing and discovering web services. The published web services are indexed and maintained in an index database to enable the effective discovery of web services. For invoking of web services, the search query is matched with the index database and the matched web services are provided to the service customer. The way of accessing the web services is stored in a log file, which is then utilized to provide personalized web services to the user. The discovery of web service is improved considerably by means of an effective searching facility provided by the proposed system and it is capable of providing the most suitable web service. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
