Abstract

The aim of this study is to present a novel approach which uses Java Expert System Shell (JESS) to intelligently infer the best and most relevant Web service. Since the Web Service has developed as a service provider in all areas, the Service discovery has become indispensable as Web Service discovery algorithms return more than one Web Service with same functionalities. Generally, the functional properties of the Web Services, such as Input, Output, Precondition, Effects (IOPE) are considered in the composition phase whereas the non-functional properties, namely Quality of Service (QoS) parameters are used in selecting the most appropriate Web Service. User Rule-based searching is accomplished along with users’ preferences which map the rules of the user profile into JESS script to discover the desired Web Service. As a result of our research we support developers to combine and implement the Web Service description and discovery approaches that will ensure best and most relevant service and performance of service oriented architecture.
