Querying a service from repository of SMaps

Abstract

Recent advances in Internet technologies have populated web with large number of services. For effective retrieval of services we have proposed SMap [10] specification that enables service provider to describe a service concealing its business logic. The details of a service includes its constituents, promotion and associated conditions. Here we propose a scheme to store SMaps in a relational database. For service retrieval a query processing system is also proposed. Retrieved services are ranked based on a score computed from structural characteristics of services. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
