Abstract
Service organization has been considered as the key enabler for efficient web service management. It gives a high-level and structured view of the important features of web services, including their functionality and inter-service relationships, which can be leveraged to allow a top-down declarative way of querying and composing web services. Abstract services that conceptualize the functionality provided by web services, has been widely adopted as the kernel component of web service organization. However, how to generate abstract services is non-trivial. Current approaches either assume the existence of abstract services or adopt a manual process that demands intensive human intervention. We propose a novel approach to fully automate the generation of abstract services. We first explain the process of generating homogeneous service spaces, i.e., service communities, which consist of a set of functionally similar services. We then present a process of generating abstract services within a service community. We leverage semantics to address the issues raised by syntactical-level service descriptions. An comprehensive experimental study on real world web service data is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
