Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm to discover and compose Web services in the presence of semantic ambiguity by combining semantic matching and AI planning algorithms. Specifically, we use cues from domain-independent and domain-specific ontologies to compute an overall semantic similarity score between ambiguous terms. This semantic similarity score is used by AI planning algorithms to guide the searching process when composing services. In addition, we integrate semantic and ontological matching with an indexing method, which we call attribute hashing, to enable fast lookup of semantic ally related concepts
