Abstract

In this paper we present ARNEIS, a framework for building "intelligent" web-based repositories of software solutions, aimed at exploiting Web Services and Semantic Web to support small-to-medium sized enterprises. ARNEIS users are software houses that offer ICT-based solutions for business automation, and small companies that aim at finding software products or services supporting their business activity. The exploitation of OWL-based ontologies enables ARNEIS to apply reasoning techniques to find the possible matches between business requirements and software solutions. Being based on Web Service standards, ARNEIS can be accessed through either a standard web-based user interface, or an external Web Service client. In the paper, we present the framework architecture and a prototype implementation aimed at validating it.
