Application-Oriented Web Service Discovery and Matchmaking

The aim of application-oriented web service discovery is to enable customers to find out the suitable web services so as to support functionally the building of application systems,thus reducing cost and improving efficiency.But in the current way the demand cannot be met very well.A web service discovery based on functional semantics is therefore proposed to define the functional semantic model that provides a unified description of web service for both service providers and customers.Meanwhile,depending on the semantic annotation mechanism of the body statements of functions in application domain,the semantic ambiguity in service description can be eliminated.Then,a strategy is proposed further to match web service discovery with what are required by functional semantics.Experimental results showed the validity of the method proposed.
