Abstract:
Locating desiredWeb services has become a challenging research problem due to the vast number of available Web services within an organization and on the Web. This necessitates the need for developing flexible, effective, and efficient Web service discovery frameworks. To this purpose, both the semantic description and the structure information of Web services should be exploited in an efficient manner. This paper presents a flexible and efficient service discovery approach, which is based on the use of the Pr¨ufer encoding method to construct a one-to-one correspondence between Web services and sequence representations. In this paper, we describe and experimentally evaluate our Web service discovery approach.
