“…In previous work (e.g., [12] and [13]) we designed and developed social Web services in response to certain limitations that undermine (regular) Web services efficient operation. Among these limitations we cite the following: (i) Web services know about themselves only, not about their users or peers; (ii) Web services cannot reconcile ontologies among each other or with their users; and (iii) Web services cannot delegate their invocation requests to other peers.…”

The success in Web services goes well beyond the building of loosely-coupled, interoperable software components. Nowadays, large-scale collaboration through social media (e.g., social networks) and new generation of serviceoriented software have spurred the growth of Web service ecosystems. This chapter discusses how a social ecosystem of Web services can be realized by defining first, the necessary actors that take part in this ecosystem formation and second, the interactions that occur between these actors during this ecosystem management. Such ecosystem permits to track who does what and where and when it is done. Compared to (regular) Web services, Web services in a social ecosystem take different actions that allow them, for instance to establish and maintain networks of contacts with other peers and to form with some peers strong and long lasting collaborative groups. The actors in the ecosystem are referred to as providers of Web services, providers of social networks of Web services, consumers of Web services, and providers of social networks of consumers. They all engage in different types of interactions like making Web services sign up in social networks of Web services, supporting users seek advices from existing members in a social network of consumers, and combining social networks of consumers and of Web services to achieve users' requests.

“…The work presented in [8] discuss the way the social Web, exemplified by some well-known networking sites like Facebook, contributes to create social applications without having to build SNs. A SN-based framework is proposed in [9] to capture the relationships between WSs, which are substitution, competition, and collaboration, into SNs. The framework permits to achieve two main goals: build WSs' SNs and use these networks to discover WSs.…”

Towards Improving Recommender System: A Social Trust-Aware Approach

Abstract-Recommender systems have shown great potential to help users find interesting and relevant Web service (WS) from within large registers. However, with the proliferation of WSs, recommendation becomes a very difficult task. Social computing seems offering innovative solutions to overcome those shortcomings. Social computing is at the crossroad of computer sciences and social sciences disciplines by looking into ways of improving application design and development using elements that people encounter daily such as social networks, trust, reputation, and recommendation. In this paper, we propose a social trust-aware system for recommending Web services (WSs) based on social qualities of WSs that they exhibit towards peers at runtime, and trustworthiness of the users who provide feedback on their overall experience using WSs. A set of experiments to assess the fairness and accuracy of the proposed system are reported in the paper, showing promising results and demonstrating that our service recommendation method significantly outperforms conventional similarity-based and trust-based service recommendation methods.
