Abstract

Over the last decades, Internet has grown dramatically. As a result of this growth, a huge amount of Web services and applications have emerged to fulfill consumer’s requirements. At the same time, the mobile network industry has become ubiquitous as most consumers are now inseparable from their mobile terminals. The combination of mobile technology and web services provides new paradigm called mobile web services. In order to find services fulfilling the client’s requirement, a discovery mechanism is needed. However, discovering services from devices is still a significant challenge due to terminal constraints such as screen resolution, smaller memory, CPU, mobility of consumers and the lack of service descriptions. Thus, the challenge is to increase the accuracy of the relevant discovered services that meet the user’s need. In this paper, we present MobiDisc, our mobile web service discovery approach.
