Abstract

Web services enhance current web functionality byaltering its nature from document to service-oriented. Asthe number of web services increases, it becomesincreasingly important to provide a scalableinfrastructure of Registries that allows both developersand end-users to perform discovery of semantic webenabled services. The discovery of services needs to bebased on QoS characteristics in order to enable resultranking and service selection. Current web servicepublication and discovery mechanisms, such as UDDI,either address these issues partially or not at all. In thispaper, we build on the enabling technologies of WebServices, Peer-to-Peer and Semantic Web in an attempt toaddress all these important dimensions of servicepublication and discovery. More specifically, we use ahybrid peer-to-peer topology to organize Registries basedon domains. In such a model, each Registry retains itsautonomy, meaning that it can use the publication anddiscovery mechanisms as well as the ontology of itschoice.
