Abstract
Semantic service discovery is the process of locating Web Services based on the description of their functional and non-functional semantics. Both service oriented computing and the semantic Web envision intelligent agents to proactively pursue this task on behalf of their clients. Service discovery can be performed in different ways depending on the service description framework, on means of service selection, and on its coordination through assisted mediation or in a peer-to-peer fashion.
