Abstract

Developing service-centric applications will require developers to discover candidate services during requirements processes. However such discovery is challenging due to the ontological mismatch between requirement and service descriptions. We propose patterns to re-express requirements-based service queries using classes of solution service, to increase the likelihood of discovering relevant services from service registries. We report a prototype pattern language developed for service-based vehicle fleet management, and demonstrate its use with an example.
