A framework for web service discovery

Abstract

With proliferation of published Web services, the task of finding relevant ones for the developers of service oriented application becomes more and more difficult. Several existing tools or mechanisms allow this discovery; however, those approaches often skip different elements such as service's quality, reuse, evolution and users' comment making the discovery result feebly relevant to requesters' need and prevent the requesters from using up-to-date and available web services efficiently. In this research work, we present a framework for web service discovery taking into account the reuse of web service search result through caching technique, the quality of service through qualitative test result, the web service's evolution through version track technique and we provide a novel scheme of discovery using user's annotating information.
