S-CBR: semantic case based reasoner for web services discovery and matchmaking

Web services are being increasingly adopted as the computing engine of choice for today’s Internet-driven applications. The composition of Web services further advances their advantages by allowing different services to integrate for providing new, value-added services. The automated discovery of adequate Web services is the pre-requisite and core feature for achieving dynamic Web services composition. In this paper, we present a novel approach that utilizes Case Based Reasoning methodology for modelling the Web services discovery and matchmaking problem. Our framework uses OWL semantic descriptions extensively for implementing both the components of the CBR engine and the matchmaking profile of the Web services.
