Abstract

This paper discusses the added-value of combining users' preferences and Web services' capacities during the process of discovering the Web services that permit satis- fying users' needs. The needs, preferences, and capacities vary over time, which requires tracking them using contex- tual details. Examples of needs include hotel booking and loan application. Examples of preferences include time of result delivery and interaction means. Examples of capaci- ties include operations to perform at a certain time/place and non-functional characteristics of operations. In this paper, bringing Web services and users together is sup- ported by an approach that develops respective ontologies for preferences and capacities, represents these latter with SAWSDL, and finally, matches them using a dedicated algo- rithm.
