Consideration of Task Circumstance in Service Matchmaking

Web service matchmaking is an important aspect of interaction between modern enterprises. At present, many service matchmaking methods are proposed. However, most of them only consider function compatibility of service, yet ignoring the compatibility of task circumstance. In fact, a service description should contain semantics of task circumstance, which can improve the precision of service matchmaking. Based on domain shared ontology, this paper proposed a service compatibility matchmaking algorithm based on task circumstance, which takes task circumstance description pattern as the uniform semantic basis to describe the task circumstance in service request and service provision precisely, completely and conveniently. Our experimental data show that this novel service matchmaking method outperforms others in terms of precision.
