Ubiquitous computing aims to exchange and share services anywhere, anytime. However, discovering the appropriate service in ubiquitous environments poses very specific challenges. In this paper, we propose a new Semantic and Dynamic Cluster based Web Service Discovery System (SDC-WSDS) which deals with dynamicity and scalability challenges. Our discovery system is based on a clustered architecture and supports semantic publication and discovery queries. We, hence, present a new clustering algorithm for ubiquitous environments inspired by the Weighted Clustering Algorithm (WCA) and a semantic service publication and discovery model. This model is based on attribute value pairs and a semantic distance function.
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.
