Abstract
As the number of Web services continues to increase, so does the opportunities to compose them to build more complex and complete business solutions. To facilitate and speed up Web-services discovery, Web services with similar (or equivalent) functionalities - such as flight booking and travel reservation - can be grouped into communities. Argumentation theory, implemented through a set of software agents that reason about Web services, can improve Web services performance through the notion of communities.
