WSRM: A Relational Model for Web Service Discovery in Enterprise Cloud Bus (ECB)

Abstract

The number of web services has been increased rapidly and thereby discovering the services in cloud computing has become a challenge for the service consumers. As a result, Service discovery and mapping have become even more challenging due to different service descriptions, conventions, heterogeneous types and features of Cloud services. Service discovery has been identified as a key activity for service-based systems. In this paper we propose a framework for dynamic service discovery and mapping that supports the identification of service during its run time in Enterprise Cloud Bus (ECB) systems. Here, we present a Web Service Relational Model (WSRM) for distributed service discovery that supports functional aspects of Web service and allow various trade-offs between the accuracy of discovery results and the efficiency of the service discovery process. The implementation aspects using SQL of WSRM are also discussed.
