Flexible retrieval of Web Services

The impact of service level on the acceptance of application service oriented medical records

“…Grid services seek even larger-scale sharing of computational and informational resources across platforms, devices, and institutional boundaries [26]. Although the grid was positioned to be independent of the Internet, it is now rapidly converging with web www.elsevier.com/locate/dsw Information & Management 42 (2005) [1121][1122][1123][1124][1125][1126][1127][1128][1129][1130][1131][1132][1133][1134][1135] services to form a single set of standards [27] and has conveniently served as a marketplace for exchanging web services [51], as an environment to organize web services [82], or as a framework for architecting next generation information systems [34].…”

A framework for QoS-aware binding and re-binding of composite web services

“…The broker, exposed as a web service, provides QoS negotiation, verification, certification and monitoring functionality. An efficient approach for service discovery from large-scale service repositories is presented in Zhuge and Liu (2004). The Service Grid model is used to classify services and a SQL-like query language is proposed for their retrieval.…”

Combining query-by-example and query expansion for simplifying web service discovery

“…Another work that proposes the use of a service query language is Zhuge and Liu (2004). Here, the main idea is to extend a popular query language, concretely SQL, with service-oriented constructs and declarations, therefore reusing syntax and semantics which most developers are familiar with.…”

“…We think that this work and ours may benefit from each other. On one hand, Zhuge and Liu (2004) may further reduce the search space by using our automatic classification mechanism. On the other hand, by incorporating the aforementioned similarity assessment we could enhance the filtering stage of our discovery mechanism.…”
