Abstract

This paper presents a framework for weaving the principles (or metaphor) of social networks into Web services with emphasis on supporting their discovery. Despite the regular updates of the existing discovery techniques, the discovery of Web services continues to exacerbate users due to the large number of available Web services on the Internet. Different needs trigger the discovery of Web services such as developing new, value-added composite services and sustaining the high availability of other peers. These needs reveal three types of relationships between Web services, which are substitution, competition, and collaboration. The proposed framework includes tools that capture these relationships into social networks so that Web services discovery can be made smooth. Some implementation and simulation details are, also, discussed in this paper.

Recommendations

Even Web Services Can Socialize: A New Service-Oriented Social Networking Model
INCOS '09: Proceedings of the 2009 International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems

The incessant growth of the number of Web services (WSs) makes their discovery more difficult. Standard discovery registries, such as UDDI and ebXML, have their own inherent limitations as they only describe the functionality aspect of each WS and not ...
Using Social Networks for Web Services Discovery

Service engineers often struggle to locate the relevant Web services needed to satisfy users' requests. The authors describe how service engineers can capitalize on Web services' interactions — namely, collaboration, substitution, and competition — to ...
Web services discovery and constraints composition
RR'07: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Web reasoning and rule systems

The most promising feature of the Web services platform is its ability to form new (composite) services by combining the capabilities of already existing (component) services. The existing services may themselves be composite leading to a hierarchical ...
