Title: Plain-Text-Described Service Discovery and Selection

Abstract:

In this project, we propose an approach for discovering and selecting plain-text-described services. Plain-text-described service information accounts for a vast majority of available service information over the Internet. For example, up to 98% of Cloud Services are described in plain text. Plain-text-described services are published in distributed registries and described in an unstructured, nonstandard, and untrustworthy way. All of these facts make plain-text-described services difficult to be discovered, comprehended, and selected by service consumers. This project aims to provide a solution by exploring theories and technologies across multiple areas such as Services Computing, Semantic Search, Ontology Learning, and Trust Computing.
