Semantic web service processes enabling goal-driven application creation

We propose a novel semantic web service process which consists of service annotation, discovery, and composition for a goal-driven computing. The proposed web service process is the key enabler of our goal-driven application creation environment that helps software developers to make new application semi-automatically by accomplishing their programming goals. Especially, in the goal-driven computing, we employ goal ontology and goal pattern library to bridge the gap between concrete services on the Web and user´s declarative goals in the real world. The proposed semantic service process can be performed under the existing web services environment without new service models proposed for semantic and goal-driven computing by previous works, such as OWL-S and WSMO. Ultimately, we expect that the proposed process can promote the growth of converged applications across the domains and service providers.
