Service-Oriented Computing promotes building applications by consuming and reusing Web Services. However, the selection of adequate Web Services given a client application is still a major challenge. The effort of assessing ...

In a previous paper Crasso et al. (IC-CrassoRZC2010), we have shown that effectively discovering Web services is subject to avoiding a number of common design errors in publishers´ Web Service Description Language (WSDL) ...

Web Service standards and ontologies represent the basic blocks forbuilding a world-wide network of computer-understandable resources.The process of linking Web Services to ontologies, a.k.a. annotation, hasbeen identified ...

The Service-Oriented Computing paradigm enables the construction of distributed systems by assembling loosely coupled pieces of software called services, which have clear interfaces to their functionalities. Service interface ...

Currently WFS services are a source of information that is messy and unstructured. That is why there is a need for a information transformation for these services. Since the Internet is migrating towards the semantic ...

Discovering services acquires importance as Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) becomes an adopted paradigm. SOC’s most popular materializations, namely Web Services technologies, have different challenges related to service ...

Web services standards provide the basis for interoperability, discovery and integration of distributed applications. Web services will enable mobile agents to better use and exploit Web accessible applications and resources. ...

This article introduces a n-gram-based approach to automatic classification of Web services using a multilayer perceptron-type artificial neural network. Web services contain information that is useful for achieving a ...
