Abstract

In a previous work we presented an approach to allow invocation of services whose interface and behavior differ from each other. Such approach requires the definition of scripts by some human being able to completely understand the mismatches and properly combine the mapping functions. Furthermore, such approach requires an intensive effort from a system integrator that, in the worst case in which a client can be bound to N different services, could be requested to specify N adapters for each client. In this paper we describe an approach that aims at solving these problems by exploiting semantic annotations of service interfaces and domain ontologies. Our approach extends the previous work and enables the automation of the definition of the adapting scripts.
