An Improved Discovery Engine for Efficient and Intelligent Discovery of Web Service with Publication Facility

The increasing demand of industry for enabling Business to Business and Application-to-Application communication has led to a growing requirement for Service Oriented Architecture. Web Services are based on Service Oriented Architecture which enable application-to-application communication over the internet and easy accessibility to heterogeneous applications and devices. As web services proliferate and become more sophisticated and interdependent, the issues regarding their publication and discovery become of utmost importance. This paper proposes design of A Discovery cum Publishing Engine for web service discovery with refined searching mechanism which uses service rating techniques for efficient and effective web service discovery within optimum response time. We have used Data Mining Techniques to narrow down the search space in UBRs. Further the proposed engine has an ability to publish or search web service across multiple UBRs. In addition to this an extended design of service registry is proposed to store service rating data along with the service information. The Engine publishes the web services in UBR by following a classification scheme and performs a validation test on discovered web services. Service reviews and rating have been utilized to help a user for selection of appropriate service.
