“…The applied techniques have varied according to the exploitable information, which has become ever richer. Originally, only low-level information on the operations of the web resources (such as the basic interface details like method names, types and parameters) was available, or non-functional criteria such as response time or usage data (Birukou et al, 2007); Al-Masri and Mahmoud, 2007). The development of registries based on standards such as UDDI allowed the addition of metadata-based techniques (Dong et al, 2004;Chukmol, 2008;Crasso et al, 2008), initially based on traditional keyword search but eventually considering more advanced IR techniques (Plebani and Pernici, 2009) and, in line with the priorities of our work, a more user-oriented view (Rong and Liu, 2010), explicitly based on requirements (Hao and Zhang, 2007;Hao et al, 2010;Nazir et al, 2008).…”

Abstract. Research in the Life Sciences depends on the integration of large, distributed and heterogeneous web resources (e.g. data sources and web services). The discovery of which of these resources are the most appropriate to solve a given task is a complex research question, since there are many candidate resources and there is little, mostly unstructured, metadata to be able to decide among them.In this paper we contribute with a semi-automatic approach, based on semantic techniques, to assist researchers in the discovery of the most appropriate web resources to fulfill a set of requirements. The main feature of our approach is that it exploits broad knowledge resources in order to annotate the unstructured texts that are available in the emerging web-based repositories of web resource metadata.The results show that the web resource discovery process benefits from a semanticbased approach in several important aspects. One of the advantages is that the user can express her requirements in natural language avoiding the use of specific vocabularies or query languages. Moreover, the discovery exploits not only the categories or tags of web resources, but also their description and documentation.

Web service technology (WST) is a service-oriented architecture implementation framework that makes designing component-based internet applications possible. At present, many providers offer their services as web services. Current WST suffers from the lack of an integrated tool to assist web service developers. In WST, the services are published publicly, and their descriptions are stored in service directories. These descriptions contain valuable information about the work of different software teams throughout the world. However, with the increasing number of web services, searching for services is difficult and time-consuming. Furthermore, in current service directories, there is a little knowledge about the services, and extraction of useful information to be utilised by developers is not easy. In this paper, in order to increase the knowledge of what is available in service directories, a structure is presented by interlinking WST entities by using some defined semantic relations. The proposed structure provides a framework and a tool named WSDATool to develop new web services using information from published services or to refine current published web service descriptions. In experiments, services designed with the assistance of the WSDATool are more coherent and well designed.

“…Fast development of technologies based on Web service increases the large quantities of Web services availability on the internet, Recommendation of web services helps in selecting a top quality Web service from a list of a huge number of candidates. [1] Nowadays QoS for web services has become a key success to service providers. For Web services, QoS (Quality of Service) is a key aspect that differentiates service provider offering similar services.…”

Abstract-Web Service is the electronic processing of Internet communication system. The different applications communicate with each other to share data and services with the help of web services. The idea behind Web services is to make it as a practical tool to use the Internet as a visual tool. Web service fulfils both users functional and nonfunctional needs. Because of increase in the availability of web services, it is difficult to select appropriate candidates to serve the people in a huge number of web services. Hence, to choose and rank the web services we presented web service ranking approach using rank aggregation method by exploring the user behaviour. The invocation histories are used to infer the user behaviour. To rank the web services three aspects of web services Functional relevance, CF based scores, and the final QoS utility are considered. Moreover with the help of our system user gets recommendation according to his/her profile and current location.
