I am trying to write a thesis with an approach for a central marketplace, called a Web Service Repository. This repository serves as a registry for service specifications and provides an ontology that allows reasoning about these services. Specifications of services that reside in repositories are provided with the help of description logic. Several domain specific case studies (e.g. payment processing system, flight scheduling system, medical records) and investigate questions arising during the design of such repositories.
I am particularly interested in Patterns for Service Composition algorithms for matching composition patterns to queries and similarity of services. I am pleading expert to give more insights on this area of research and I will also welcome the knowledge of researchers researching this area.
Many thanks.
