Toward the definition of a many-to-many service discovery approach

摘要

Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are a software development paradigm which are more and more used in a variety of domains. SOA mainly relies on the service composition mechanism for ensuring its features such as reusability and flexibility of applications. One of the most interesting challenges facing service composition approaches is the introduction of the dy-namicity. This dynamism is built upon the system's ability to automatically discover and select the used services which will be coordinated to realize the global task. Therefore, the service discovery is a main issue in the service orientation. This paper provides a new service discovery approach which enhances the number of services potentially discovered and thus, it multiplies the number of candidate services. This multiplication ensures a better selection of the most suitable services and more alternatives is case of failures.
