Abstract

Web service discovery is becoming a critical issue in several fields. The current approaches for service discovery and mainly semantic web services such as OWL-S are limited primarily to the matching of their inputs/outputs at the level of an ontology. Recent studies show that this approach does not suffice to discover web services and that the structure of web services has an important and necessary weight in the efficiency of the matching. The structure of a web service can be represented by a graph. The problem of matching semantic web services is then translated into a problem of graph matching. In this work, we propose a matching approach that first decomposes the web service graph into more simple sub-structures then, the matching process is achieved onto these substructures. The proposed algorithms achieve better time complexity than existing ones. We also propose a semantic similarity to enhance our structural similarity.
