WSRM: A Relational Model for Web Service Discovery in Enterprise Cloud Bus (ECB)

The number of web services has been increased rapidly and thereby discovering the services in cloud computing has become a challenge for the service consumers. As a result, Service discovery and mapping have become even more challenging due to different service descriptions, conventions, heterogeneous types and features of Cloud services. Service discovery has been identified as a key activity for service-based systems. In this paper we propose a framework for dynamic service discovery and mapping that supports the identification of service during its run time in Enterprise Cloud Bus (ECB) systems. Here, we present a Web Service Relational Model (WSRM) for distributed service discovery that supports functional aspects of Web service and allow various trade-offs between the accuracy of discovery results and the efficiency of the service discovery process. The implementation aspects using SQL of WSRM are also discussed.
