Heterogeneous matchmaking approaches for semantic web service discovery using OWL-S

Abstract

Services oriented computing is playing a vital role in last decade to develop service oriented distributed computing systems. Web services are reusable software components on the web which can be discovered, fetched, and invoked. With an increase importance towards semantic web services, a challenging task with this domain lies in discovering, composing and then invoking on heterogeneous interface. Matching algorithms are considered basic approach to discover loosely coupled internet registry based web services but algorithms which match based on semantics of the query are limited. Graph based, logic based and many other techniques were introduced to accomplish the task. This paper entitles an overview on different matchmaking approaches for semantic web service discovery using OWL-S. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg.
