QoS model for discovery of semantic web services

Abstract

Technology on semantic web services nowadays addresses only the synthetic services. These therefore provide limited sets of rigid services that cannot adapt to present contemporary changing environment. In this work, we propose an approach that would automate semantic service location, however, some conceptual model and assumptions that lead to identifying the solutions were defined. Furthermore, a thorough understanding of what a service means, various levels of abstraction and assumptions made on various elements that are involved in the location process were made. This was to ascertain the steps and kinds of descriptions that would be implemented to provide efficient and usable automated approach to web services. Additionally, we analyze the matching techniques that are of interest in locating services that would fulfil the requester’s goals. However, the proposed model those not impose any restrictions on how to implement it for specific application but some useful approach for providing such implementation.
