“…After the B2C hype it then became the carrier for a lightweight B2B alternative for EDI [Emm93]. Another strand of SOA focusses on the massive and systematic reuse of software components, both enterprise-wide, as so-called SOA governance, and world-wide [ABHS07]. In the past there has been lot of confusion about the concept of statelessness of services.…”

As the foundation of EDI, B2C and B2B, distributed computing is a key enabler for today's enterprises and will become even more important with the advent of cloud computing on the one hand and an ever more agile work organization on the other hand. Whilst the rapid evolution of distributed computing technologies in the last three decades has delivered a rich set of platforms and paradigms for building robust enterprise systems, it has also left a legacy of unresolved problems including fundamental inconsistencies between the concepts of the two leading distributed computing paradigms, i.e., distributed object computing and service-oriented architecture. Equally important, there is a growing need to lower the complexities and barriers involved in developing client applications, which range from large scale business applications and business processes to laptop programs and small apps on mobile devices. In this article, we present a unified conceptual framework for service-oriented computing based on the proven MDA (Model Driven Architecture) terminology stack. With the conceptual framework we consolidate, and give semantics to, core concepts of service-oriented computing and provide a set of foundational model transformation patterns that map between the presented concepts and further clarify practical service-oriented computing scenarios. Finally, we show how the developed framework perfectly fits to the OSM (Orthographical Software Modeling) approach.

“…As a result, the number of retrieved services with respect to the keywords are huge and/or the retrieved services might be irrelevant to the need of their consumers [15]. More recently, this issue sparked a new research into the Semantic Web where some research uses ontology to annotate the elements in Web services [5,16]. Nevertheless, integrating different ontologies may be difficult while the creation and maintenance of ontologies may involve a huge amount of human effort.…”

Abstract. Due to the availability of huge number of Web services (WSs), finding an appropriate WS according to the requirement of a service consumer is still a challenge. In this paper, we present a new and flexible approach, called SeqDisc, that assesses the similarity between WSs. In particular, the approach exploits the Prüfer encoding method to represent WSs as sequences capturing both semantic and structure information of service descriptions. Based on the sequence representation, we develop an efficient sequence-based schema matching approach to measure the similarity between WSs. A set of experiments is conducted on real data sets, and the results confirm the performance of the proposed solution.

Abstract-With the increasing number of published Web services providing similar functionalities, it's very tedious for a service consumer to make decision to select the appropriate one according to her/his needs. In this paper, we explore several probabilistic topic models: Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA), Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Correlated Topic Model (CTM) to extract latent factors from web service descriptions. In our approach, topic models are used as efficient dimension reduction techniques, which are able to capture semantic relationships between word-topic and topic-service interpreted in terms of probability distributions. To address the limitation of keywords-based queries, we represent web service description as a vector space and we introduce a new approach for discovering and ranking web services using latent factors. In our experiment, we evaluated our Service Discovery and Ranking approach by calculating the precision (P@n) and normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCGn).
