Abstract

The success of the Web Service (WS) paradigm has led to a proliferation of available WSs. Semantic discovery mechanisms have been invented to overcome UDDI's syntactic discovery solution by providing more precise results. However, the problem remains as many functionally-equivalent WSs are returned. Its solution comes in terms of semantic QoS-based description and discovery of WSs. We have already presented a rich and extensible ontology language for QoS-based WS description that is called OWL-Q and we have proposed a semantic QoS metric matching algorithm. Based on this algorithm, we have extended a Constraint-Programming-based approach for QoS-based WS discovery. In this paper, we show an extension of OWL-Q with SWRL rules and propose a modification to the metric matching algorithm to make it more feasible. Moreover, we propose and analyze an automated approach for semantic QoS-based WS discovery that provides solutions even for over-constrained QoS-based WS demands.
