Advancement through Evaluation
Book
Chapter
This chapter informs about the Jena Geography Dataset Evaluation which has been implemented as a third complementary track of the S3 Contest initiative starting in 2009. The main objective that distinguishes t...
Chapter
This introduction will provide the necessary background on Semantic Web Services and their evaluation. It will then introduce SWS evaluation goals, dimensions and criteria and compare the existing community ef...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Semantic Web Services (SWS) promise to take service oriented computing to a new level by allowing to semi-automate time-consuming programming tasks. At the core of SWS are solutions to the problem of SWS match...
Chapter
The Semantic Web Service Challenge defines problem scenarios that serve as the basis for the certification and comparison of approaches participating in the challenge. These scenarios are classified in two bro...
Chapter
In this chapter we compare the DIANE and miAamics solutions to service discovery along a specific feature supported by those solutions: preferences. Although quite different in their theoretical and technical ...
Chapter
We describe in this chapter our understanding of the SWS Challenge, and how to improve it, after approximately the first year of major startup efforts.
Chapter
In this chapter, we introduce the DIANE Service Description (DSD) and show how it has been used to solve the discovery problems stated in the scenarios of the SWS-Challenge. We explain our solution as of the f...
Chapter
Semantic service discovery and matchmaking has received increased attention within the last years. Various approaches have been proposed but agreed upon criteria how to objectively evaluate and compare these a...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Automatic discovery and invocation of services will only be accepted in practise, if the non-functional, especially QoS, parameters are taken into consideration during matchmaking. In this paper we present how...
Chapter
In recent years a huge amount of effort, and money has been invested in the area of semantic service discovery and presented approaches have become more sophisticated and mature. Nevertheless surprisingly litt...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The area of service oriented computing stretches between two extremes: On the one hand industry has pushed a whole stack of WS-* standards and tools to support the integration of distributed services into busi...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In realistic settings, service descriptions will never be precise reflections of the services really offered. An online seller of notebooks, for instance, will most certainly not describe each and every notebo...
