SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEB SERVICE GENERATION AND CLASSIFICATION Automated assistance to the web service life cycle

Abstract: The convergence of semantic web techniques with web service technologies has enabled the emergence of so-called semantic web services. This new kind of services enacts the automatic manipulation of services by software programs, to perform tasks such as automatic service location, composition, and invocation. In this paper, we propose methods and techniques that enable the semi-automatic generation, deployment, semantic annotation and classification of web services. Key words: semantic web services; web service generation; web service classification; web service ontologies; reasoning; WSDL; OWL 1
