An Intention-Aware Interface for Services Access Enhancement

An intention-aware services query tool is proposed to enhance the access of services-oriented systems in more efficient and convenient way. The user can request the services by entering a phrase to interact with the system. The system capabilities are represented by a goal structure composed of computable goal models. The request string will be parsed, interpreted and mapped to candidate goal models for representing the user requests. Three types of background knowledge, domain ontology, user’s profile and goal structure, are used in the mapping process. The concrete actions of the system, such as user interaction, Web services request generation, and service returned results processing are stored in a plan library. The system could refer to the selected goal model and the plan library to generate a plan for user request satisfaction.
