Towards an Efficient Quality Based Web Service Discovery Framework

Web service technology is playing a major role in today´s distributed system computing. Service discovery, i.e., the identification of existing WSs that can be used by new web applications, is one of the most critical problems deterring Web Service (WS) technology. Current solution is based on UDDI catalogue browsing that supports only primitive matching mechanisms and provides no control over the quality of registered services. We aim to refine the discovery process through designing a new framework that enhances retrieval algorithms by combining syntactic and semantic matching of services. The proposed framework will generate QoS information that can be utilized by new user of the service.
