Abstract
Measuring the similarity between web services operations is a very effective solution for both the research and the substitution. But, unfortunately, cannot often be the case. It is therefore recommended to use other means such as a composition. The composition consists of grouping the limited functionalities of the operations (respectively web services) in order to obtain more complex ones, in general, responding to a complex request. In this article, we focus on both the composition (e.g. compound operations meeting the substitution or the user’s needs) and on the matching technique (similar operations considering relations between both inputs and outputs parameters) to ensure the research and the substitution. The proposed approach is validated by an experimental study, conducted on real web services, belonging to different domains.
