Dynamic integration of distributed semantic services

Global networking is changing the way that we think about and perform computation. Network-based computing may link tens or hundreds of distributed devices, sensors and computing resources to support an application. Therefore, a critical challenge is how dynamically to discover and integrate these distributed services seamlessly for various applications. In this paper, many cutting-edge technologies including semantic Web, Web services, peer-to-peer network and content-based routing, are used to address this challenge. With these technologies, we propose a new framework for dynamic integration of distributed services. Moreover, a prototype system with basic capabilities is implemented as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the potential of this framework and its constituent technologies in network-based computing.
