Web service discovery based on behavioral aspects

The rapid growth of published Web services (WS) makes their discovery more difficult. There are many WS that have similar functional characteristics. So, it is obligatory to facilitate to consumers the selection of the most relevant WS according to their needs. Different approaches have been proposed to WS discovery including syntactic, semantic and context aware approaches. In this paper, we highlight the importance of behavioral aspect in WS discovery. We argue that the execution manner of WS operations become a quality criterion which has not been treated in the previously proposed approaches. The purpose of this paper is to realize a literature review of existing research on WS discovery and highlight their failure to deal with the behavioral aspect.
