QoS in ontology-based service classification and discovery
Devis Bianchini, V. De Antonellis, Michele Melchiori · 2004
Nowadays, many different organizations which operate in the Web distributed environment become more and more dependent on services to automate their activities and to im-prove their interoperability. Services are provided and pub-lished on the Web by independent organizations and their number is growing. Therefore suitable approaches to clas-sify and organize them to support their discovery and de-livery are required. In this paper, we extend our ontology-based service classification and discovery approach to con-sider also the important and topical aspects related to QoS. In particular, in our approach services are firstly looked for on the basis of their functional conformance to the user re-quest and then filtered on the basis of their quality features. 1
