Abstract:
In order to facilitate the on-demand delivery of new services for mobile terminals as well as for fixed phones, we propose a user-centric solution based on Semantic Service-Oriented Architecture (SSOA) for instant building and delivery of new services composed with existing Web services discovered and assembled on-the-fly. This solution, based on semantic descriptions of Web services, is made of three main mechanisms: a semantic service discoverer, transparent for the user, allows to find the pertinent Web services matching with the user's original request, expressed vocally or by a SMS or a simple text; a semantic service composer, using the semantic descriptions of the Web services, allows to combine and orchestrate the discovered services in order to build a new service fully matching the user's request, and a service deliverer makes the new service immediately accessible by the user.
