Abstract
Service discovery and matchmaking in a distributed environment has been an active research issue since at least the mid 1990s Previous work on matchmaking has typically presented the problem and service descriptions as free or structured (marked-up) text, so that keyword searches, tree-matching or simple constraint solving are sufficient to identify matches. In this paper, we discuss the problem of matchmaking for mathematical services, where the semantics play a critical role in determining the applicability or otherwise of a service. A matchmaking architecture supporting the use of match plug-ins is first described, followed by the types of plug-ins that can be supported. The matched services are ranked based on the score obtained from each plug-in, with the user being able to decide which plug-in is most significant in the context of their particular application. We consider the effect of pre- and post-conditions of mathematical service descriptions on matching, and how and why to reduce queries into DNF and CNF before matching. Application examples demonstrate in detail how the matching process works for all four algorithms. Additionally, an evaluation of the ontological mode is provided, regarding performance of loading ontologies, query response time and the overall scalability is conducted. The performance results are used to demonstrate scalability issues in supporting ontology-based discovery within a Web Services environment.
