Abstract
The goal of Web service (WS) discovery is to select WSs that satisfy both the users’ functional and non functional requirements. Focusing on non functional requirements, a matchmaking algorithm usually takes place to verify if the quality offered by the WS provider overlaps the quality requested by the user. Since quality, in a provider perspective, is costly, a further step, a negotiation, should be performed to identify a mutually agreed quality level. In this work, we join previous work on a semantic-based quality definition model and WS negotiation, to provide a framework enabling semantic-aware automated WS negotiation. More specifically, OWL-Q, a semantic QoS-based WS description language, is extended with appropriate negotiation concepts and properties.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement 215483 (S-Cube) and the Italian FIRB Project TEKNE.
