Ubiquitous Web Services is able to be specified future Web Services technology for connecting with various application services in any device and network environments. The devices, in ubiquitous environment, have dynamic characteristic such as location and statuse. So, we must support methods of dynamic service discovery in ad-hoc network. There are many related works at transaction, security, QoS, semantic and Web Services composition with various fields. Recently, the studies are interested in the Ubiquitous by development of computing and network technology. However, they are an early stage. For this reason, in this paper, we propose a WSUN(Web Services on Universal Networks) for Ubiquitous Web Services. It is a SOA based framework. And this paper extracts necessity of WSUN environment from scenario. The framework is composed of US Broker(Universal Service Broker). It is designed for satisfying the conditions and supports dynamic service discovery using a US Registry (Universal Service Registry). Consequently. clients are able to discover and use Universal Service by protocol stack of the US Broker for Web Services. And it is a strong point which supports interoperability between heterogeneous networks.

Web services are considered as the critical component in the business plans of corporations as they offers the potential for creating highly dynamic and versatile distributed applications that span across business boundaries. Web Service Orchestration studies composition of already-existing web services to create new value-added services. The composite web services could be executed in a centralized or peer-to-peer(P2P) orchestration model. Compared with centralized-orchestration model, the P2P-based orchestration model provides better scalability, reliability, and performance for the overall services. However, recent P2P-orchestration solutions have limitation in supporting complex workflow patterns. Therefore, they could not effectively handle sophisticated business workflow, which contains complex workflow patterns. In this paper, we propose the WORKGLOW system, which can deal with complex workflow patterns while it is able to perform composite services in P2P orchestration manner. Comparing with centralized orchestration systems, the WORKGLOW brings up more business logic advantages, better performance, and higher flexibility with only a little overhead.

The next-generation war game simulators need a technique that reuses resources disperse on the web, and reorganizes federates on the fly based on the various events in real time. So far, HLA-based federates limit their interoperability to military networks, and in syntax-level. Web services techniques are widely used in enterprise applications and provide many proven practices to extend interoperability between WAN resources in semantic level. Two problems are met in order to utilize web services into war-game simulator : 1) How to achieve semantic-level interoperability between federates disperse on WAN, 2) How to interoperate web-based federates and RTI-based federates. In this paper, we provide solutions to the problems and highlight advantages using web-based federates with an example of ASuW(Anti-Surface Warfare).

Web service Technology has been developing rapidly as it provides a flexible application-to-application interaction mechanism. Several ongoing research efforts focus on various aspects of Web service technology, including the modeling, specification, discovery, composition and verification of Web services. The approaches advocated are often conflicting-based as they are differing expectations on the current status of Web services as well as differing models of their future evolution. One way of deciding the relative relevance of the various research directions is to look at their applicability to the currently available Web services. To this end, we conducted a survey on currently publicly available Web service repositories. Our aim is to get an idea of the number, complexity and composability of these Web services and see if this analysis provides useful information about the near-term fruitful research directions.

Recently the web service area is rapidly growing as the next generation IT paradigm because of increase of concern about SOA(Services-Oriented Architecture) and growth of B2B market. Since a service discovery through UDDI(Universal Description, Discovery and Integration) is limited to a functional requirement, it is not considered an effect on frequency of service using and reliability of mutual relation. That is, a quality as nonfunctional aspect of web service is regarded as important factor for a success between consumer and provider. Therefore, the web service selection method with considering the quality is necessary. This paper suggests the agent-based quality broker architecture and selection process which helps to find a service providing the optimum quality that the consumer needs in a position of service consumer. A theory of agent is accepted widely and suitable for proposed system architecture in the circumstance of distributed and heterogeneous environment like web service. In this paper, we considered the QoS and CoS in the evaluation process to solve the problem of existing researches related to the web service selection and used PROMETHEE(Preference Ranking Organization MeTHod for Enrichment Evaluations) as an evaluation method which is most suitable for the web service selection among MCDM approaches. PROMETHEE has advantages that solve the problem that a pair-wise comparison should be performed again when comparative services are added or deleted. This paper suggested a case study with the service composition scenario in order to verify the selection process. In this case study, the decision making problem was described on the basis of evaluated values for qualities from a consumer's point of view and the defined service level.

To ensure the successful employment of semantic web services, it is essential that they rely on the use of high quality ontologies. However, building such ontologies is difficult and costly, thus hampering web service deployment. This study automatically builds ontologies from WSDL documents and their underlying semantics, and presents discovery methods of similar web service operations using these ontologies. The key ingredient is techniques that cluster parameters in the collection of web services into semantically meaningful concepts, and capture the hierarchical relationships between the words contained in the tag. We implement an operation retrieval system for web services. This system finds out a ranked set of similar operations using a novel similarity measurement method, and selects the most optimal operation which satisfies user's requirements. It can be directly used for the web services composition.

Recently, many researchers have given high attention to the semantic web services based on the semantic web technology While existing web services use the XML-based web service description language, WSDL, semantic web services are utilizing web service description languages such as DAML-S in ontology languages. The researchers of semantic web services are generally focused on web service discovery, web service invocation, web service selection and composition, and web service execution monitoring. Especially, the semantic web service discovery as the basis to accomplish the ultimate semantic web service environment has some different properties from previous information discovery areas. Hence, it is necessary to develop the storage system and discovery mechanism appropriate to the semantic well description languages. Even though some related systems have been developed, they are not appropriate for the embedded system environment, such as intelligent robotics, in which there are some limitations on memory disk space, and computing power In this regard, we in the embedded system environment have developed the document management system which efficiently manages the web service documents described by DAML-S for the purpose of the semantic web service discovery, In addition, we address the distinguishing characteristics of the system developed in this paper, compared with the related researches.

As web service technologies are widely used, there have been many efforts to develop approaches for recommending appropriate web services to users in complex and dynamic service environments. In addition, for the effective development of service mashups, service recommender systems that are specialized for service composition have been developed. However, existing service recommender systems for service mashups are not effective at recommending services in a personalized manner that reflect developers' preferences. To deal with this issue, we propose an approach that recommends services based on the similarities between mashup developers who have developed similar service mashups. The proposed approach is then evaluated by using the mashup data retrieved from ProgrammableWeb. The evaluation results clearly show that the proposed approach is an effective way of improving service recommendations compared to the traditional user-based collaborative filtering algorithm.

As a service-oriented paradigm, web service composition has obtained great attention from both academia and industry, especially in the area of cloud service. Nowadays more and more web services providing the same function but different in QoS are available in cloud, so an important mission of service composition strategy is to select the optimal composition solution according to QoS. Furthermore, the selected composition solution should satisfy the service level agreement (SLA) which defines users' request for the performance of composite service, such as price and response time. A composite service is feasible only if its QoS satisfies user's request. In order to obtain composite service with the optimal QoS and avoid SLA violations simultaneously, in this paper we first propose a QoS evaluation method which takes the SLA satisfaction into account. Then we design a service selection algorithm based on our QoS evaluation method. At last, we put forward a parallel running strategy for the proposed selection algorithm. The simulation results show that our approach outperforms existing approaches in terms of solutions' optimality and feasibility. Through our running strategy, the computation time can be reduced to a large extent.

There have been numerous research and development efforts to automate business processes or execute business processes automatically. Especially, Web service is considered to be one of the most promising technologies. Existing Web service composition languages such as BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) and BPML (Business Process Modeling Language) do not provide full semantic support for business processes. This paper proposes a 3-layer model that consists of business process layer and service layer which can seamlessly integrates business process semantics with service semantics. The proposed model and architecture will enable effective management of business processes as well-defined corporate assets, services that execute tasks to achieve goals of business processes, and software components that comprise services.
