Proposal of an Architecture to Retrieve Information from Multiple Devices Using Matchmaking Algorithms

Semantic Web services (SWS) propose to extend the traditional Web services technologies on the way to consolidate ontologies and semantics. This makes possible the selection, the integration and the dynamic invocation of services. In this way, services are able to dynamically adapt themselves to changes without human intervention. The main purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm for matching SWS. The algorithm uses the description of the services capabilities to match the semantic values. The traditional matching has been improving using ontologies witch constitutes a step further in the matching algorithms. To implement the algorithm an agent FIPA compliant architecture has been designed and implemented. The results obtained are positives. The semantic Web services framework developed in combination with the use of the matchmaking algorithm allows to find services based on their similarities
