User-Oriented Web Service Search Technique for Mobile Mashup

This paper presents the basic design of a new web service search technique for mobile mashup. Web service search means searching web APIs to build a new mobile mashup service. The technique is based on user-oriented profiling and can be easily used on mobile devices. For web service search, a user must know the details of a web service in advance. However, conventional service search cannot provide such information on whether the web service can be used for the mashup. This study discusses a user-oriented web service search technique for mobile mashup. Its key feature is that users can easily search for web services that use mashup on mobile phones without knowing the details.
