TLDR
This paper shows how to use OWL-S in conjunction with Web service standards, and explains and illustrates the value added by the semantics expressed in OWl-S.Abstract:
Service interface description languages such as WSDL, and related standards, are evolving rapidly to provide a foundation for interoperation between Web services. At the same time, Semantic Web service technologies, such as the Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S), are developing the means by which services can be given richer semantic specifications. Richer semantics can enable fuller, more flexible automation of service provision and use, and support the construction of more powerful tools and methodologies. Both sets of technologies can benefit from complementary uses and cross-fertilization of ideas. This paper shows how to use OWL-S in conjunction with Web service standards, and explains and illustrates the value added by the semantics expressed in OWL-S.read more

Dissertation
Optimal QoS aware multiple paths web service composition using heuristic algorithms and data mining techniques
TL;DR: The simulation results showed that the proposed optimization mechanism outperforms the relevant optimization techniques by generating the highest overall QoS ratio solutions, consuming the smallest computation time, and producing the lowest percentage of constraints violated number.

Using Distributed Semantic Catalogs for Information Discovery on Spatial Data Infrastructures
TL;DR: This chapter describes a distributed catalog service that uses ontologies to describe underlying information so as to improve searching precision.

Mick Horgan,Oscar Díaz +1 more
TL;DR: The present deliverable presents the rational of the ACGT project, in a more explicit and detailed manner, as well as its specific objectives, and provides a detailed state-of-the-art review in all of the scientific areas relevant to the project.
Adaptive service orchestration in ambient assisted living
Chris Blondia,Hong Sun +1 more
TL;DR: The scope of this thesis is to prove the feasibility of the mutual assisted community concept by means of a few contributions and simulations, which is not implemented in this thesis due to resource limitation.
Supporting collaboration in mobile environments
Gruia-Catalin Roman,Rohan Sen +1 more
TL;DR: This dissertation addresses the research and software engineering questions associated with building a workflow-based collaboration system that can operate across mobile ad hoc networks, the most dynamic type of mobile networks that can function without dependence on any fixed external resources.

OWL Web ontology language overview
TL;DR: This document provides an introduction to OWL by informally describing the features of each of the sublanguages of OWL, the Web Ontology Language by providing additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics.
Book
Business process execution language for web services
TL;DR: This book focuses on executable processes and comes back to abstract processes in Chapter 4, which can be used to replace sets of rules usually expressed in natural language, which is often ambiguous.

Semantic Matching of Web Services Capabilities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a solution based on DAML-S, a DAMLbased language for service description, and show how service capabilities are presented in the Profile section of a DAMl-S description and how a semantic match between advertisements and requests is performed.

Semantic Web services
TL;DR: The authors propose the markup of Web services in the DAML family of Semantic Web markup languages, which enables a wide variety of agent technologies for automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation.
Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Version 1.1
TL;DR: The BPEL4WS specification defines an interoperable integration model that should facilitate the expansion of automated process integration in both the intracorporate and the business-to-business spaces.
