Attributed Publication and Selection for Web Service-Based Distributed Systems

With the emergence of cloud computing, the need for flexible and detailed publication and selection of services that expose cloud resources is greatly stressed. While dynamic attributes have improved the publication and selection of resources in distributed systems, the use of dynamic attributes is yet to be tried in Web services: a key element that makes cloud computing possible. We propose a new approach to Web service publication and selection using dynamic attributes shown in Web service WSDL documents, the most commonly accessed and used elements of Web services.
