Approach for Building Complex Network of Web Service
Jie Song · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2012
Web service becomes another hot topic following SOA,the massive Web services definitely will be organized as a complex network with the complex structures,numerous nodes and mutual influence.In research area,there is few work in both the proposing models and studying characteristics for complex network of Web service.In this paper,the approach of building complex network of web service is proposed,which treating the Web services as nodes of the complex network and the functional similarity of Web services as the edges of the complex network,the characteristics of network are also well studied.Based on the massive Web services,a prototype system is implemented which using the matches of service information for building network model,and further proving the the small world and scale-free properties of network.The proposed approach is helpful to shifting the research of Web services from the traditional SOA model to a complex network model,it is also has a certain instruction in promoting the application of Web service composition and discovery.
