Abstract

The new SOA paradigm will increase the number of available services, possibly creating a location and use bottleneck. A model for the effective location of services is proposed. Its prototype implementation has features applicable to heterogeneous usage scenarios: (1) flexible descriptions of services and goals, (2) assistance to consumers and providers in describing services sought and offered, and (3) trade-offs between accuracy of results and efficiency of the location process based on the application of different filters.
