A Cloud System for Supporting Web Service Integration Based on User Preferences

摘要

A large amount of information can be referred to the Internet, but it is becoming difficult for a user to acquire appropriate information pertinently. It is necessary to support a user who is unfamiliar with IT (Information Technology) to offer the information suitable for the user. This paper proposes a supporting system for Web service integration equipped with recommendation function based on user's preferences. The research regards bookmarks on Web browser and tags given to Web services as information showing user's preferences, and a user profile is created using them. A service integration model is built and the proposed system recommends some appropriate examples of integrated services. As compared with conventional supporting systems, the proposed system requires less amount of work for creation and execution of service integration.
