Abstract. Service matchmaking is an integral link of service discovery, composition, invocation and other similar tasks under Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Most current approaches measure the degree of match of two services based merely on their I/O pairs which could leads to false results. This paper presents an approach for matchmaking in Se-mantic Web Services (SWS) that considers each service as a sub-graph of the semantic network of the ontology formed by inputs, outputs, pre-and post-conditions with contribution of syntactical information such as keywords and textual descriptions. The similarity between services is de-fined as the similarity between these graphs. The aim of this approach is to reveal the internal work flow and intention of service, i.e. behav-ior, thus it agrees with human intuition to a larger extent than existing approaches. 1
