Abstract

The advent of service-oriented architectures promises companies efficient and effective support of their business processes. Discovery of services with appropriate functionality may be supported by enhancing the syntactical information using additional semantics. However, services of different providers are generally described with heterogeneous concepts. This paper investigates how heterogeneity during service discovery may be overcome using automatic similarity computation. A suitable approach is introduced and a prototype demonstrates that a reliable alignment tool increases overall quality of service discovery.
