Modeling Location Preferences in Service Composition Using Distributed Knowledgebase

Abstract

Pandey RS and Pathak R

Successful Composition of a web service in dynamic environment is a big challenge and important research issue. Several service designers may produce similar or different services. In automatic service selection environment service may fail due to functional dissimilarity and non-functional property of the services (QoS) attributes. In this context, any service can be preferred for particular location. These preferences act as QoS attribute and play important role to minimize failure of the service. Knowledge of these location preferences also helps in dynamic service selection. In composition, services are present in heterogeneous environment with different location preferences. In this paper, we have developed a knowledge base for the location preferences, which we have termed as Location Affinity. We have also incorporated semantic matching phenomenon along with affinity matching of the service for distributed environment using distributed description logic.
