“…Finally, they used the insights for web service discovery. In addition, Cibran et al [11] proposed a new layer, the Web Services Management Layer (WSML) between the application and the web services. WSML decouples web services from client applications and enables swapping between semantically equivalent web services based on availability.…”

Using graph theory, we analyze the topological landscape of web service networks formed by real-world data set, either downloaded from web service repositories or crawled by a search engine. We first propose a flexible framework to study syntactic web service matchmaking in a unified manner. Under the framework, then, the data set is analyzed from diverse perspectives and granularity. By and large, the data set is shown to exhibit small world network well and power-law-like distribution to some extent. Finally, using random graph theory, we demonstrate how to accurately estimate the size of the giant component of such web service networks.

“…Currently, the development of service-oriented applications relies on libraries (e.g., CXF, JWSDP 7 and WSIF (Duftler et al 2001)), which provide programming abstractions to keep the application code as clean as possible from Web Service communication (Cibrán et al 2007). Roughly, these approaches generate client-side code for representing the interface to an external functionality, i.e., its operations and argument data-types, and associate internal components with concrete proxies of this abstract service description.…”

The vision of a worldwide computing network of services that Service Oriented Computing paradigm and its most popular materialization, namely Web Service technologies, promote is a victim of its own success. As the number of publicly available services grows, discovering proper services is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. Different approaches aim at making discovery more accurate and even automatic. However they impose heavy modifications over current Web Service infrastructures and require developers to invest much effort into publishing and describing their services and needs. So far, the acceptance of this paradigm is mainly limited by the high costs associated with connecting service providers and consumers. This paper presents WSQBE+, an approach to make Web Service publication and discovery easier. WSQBE+ combines open standards and popular best practices for using external Web services with textmining and machine learning techniques. We describe our approach and empirically evaluate it in terms of retrieval effectiveness and processing time, by using a data-set of 391 public services.

“…However, these kinds of business rules that guide the decision of which service to invoke (e.g. depending on their average speed) have been identified as being crosscutting [6]. As such, the selection logic appears tangled and/or scattered among the process specification and thus seriously hampers maintainability of both the basic process and the service selection logic.…”

With the increasing popularity of web services, a number of technologies have emerged that target the integration and composition of web services as lightweight components. However, a number of problems have been identified in these approaches, for example regarding an overly static integration and lacking support for the modularization of crosscutting concerns. In this paper, we evaluate FuseJ, an architectural description language for unifying aspects and components, as an approach for the composition of web services. We outline how FuseJ can be used to this end and present an evaluation that compares FuseJ to four other web service composition approaches according to criteria such as the organization and flexibility of the composition and the support for Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD). Although FuseJ does not allow describing complete business processes, we find that it excels at selective and dynamic composition and that it supports advanced separation of concerns without the need to introduce additional constructs.
