A QUERY LANGUAGE FOR SERVICE DISCOVERY

Abstract

To support the discovery of services during development and execution time of service-based systems, it is necessary to have ways of expressing the characteristics of the services to be discovered and the applications that will use them. In this paper, we present SerDiQueL, an XML-based query language that allows for the description of service discovery queries expressing structural, behavioural, quality, and contextual characteristics of services to be discovered. The language supports the identification of services during both development and execution of service-based systems and is supported by prototyped query processors performing similarity analysis between services and queries.
