Triple Space Computing (TSC) has been proposed as communication and coordination paradigm based on the convergence of spacebased computing and the Semantic Web. It acts as a global virtual shared space like middleware to enable communication and coordination of semantic data based on the principle of publish and read. This paper presents an overview of the work in progress under Austrian FIT-IT funded TSC project (http:==tsc.deri.at). It presents the evolution of the TSC framework, overall architecture and its usage by Semantic Web Services.
Ranking is an important step once automated discovery in Web Services is enabled; it allows for automated selection of the best matched service, out of the discovered ones. However, automated selection of the best matched service is not as simple as it may look like. Different service consumers may have different preferences to select the service providers, which may even depend upon their past interactions. Various approaches have been proposed that allow ranking of services based on different functional and non-functional aspects. However, we believe that the selection of services based on the analysis of the past interactions of service consumers or their social-network could be another effective way to rank the services for the benefit of service consumers. In this paper, we present a community-aware personalized approach for recommending and ranking Web Services for a service consumer. It is based on analysis of historical interactions among service consumers and service providers. We perform analysis and mining on the log information of service consumers and service providers, model their past interactions as social network, apply standard social-network analysis techniques, and use this information in ranking Web Services.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
