Web Service Matchmaking by Subgraph Matching
Résumé
Several approaches have been proposed to deal with the web service
matchmaking problem. Unfortunately, most of these solutions are purely syntac-
tic measures based on the input/output interface specifications of web services
and consequently lake accuracy. This is a serious drawback in a fast growing In-
ternet that is facing the challenge to deal with an increasing number of published
services. The proposed solutions to cope with this limitation consider the pro-
cess part of a service description as a graph in the similarity measure. This kind
of solutions has better accuracy but suffer from high computational complexity
because they rely on time consuming graph matching tools. To avoid this heavy
time computing overhead, we propose in this paper a solution that decomposes
the process graph into smaller subgraphs and construct similarity of web services
based on the similarity of their subgraphs. Simulation results show that our solu-
tion is both accurate and fast to compute.
