Abstract
This chapter introduces Web Service discovery in heterogeneous environments. While most contemporary service discovery systems assume that both service request and advertisement are represented in the same description model, this assumption does not always hold in a heterogeneous environment where different types of agents interact. An agreement on a common model for both parties involved in the communication is required. This chapter presents three approaches to dealing with service description model mismatch: (1) translation among existing models; (2) neutral model built on the intersection of existing models; (3) neutral model built on the union of existing model. Representation and utilization of the domain ontology alignment results for semantic annotated service description are discussed in the second part of this chapter.
