We present an approach to hybrid semantic Web service matching that complements logic
based reasoning with approximate matching based on syntactic IR based similarity …

In this work, handwritten word recognition problem is modeled in the framework of hidden
Markov model (HMM). The states of HMM are identified with the letters of the alphabet. The …

We argue for the usefulness of abductive reasoning in the context of ontologies. We discuss
several applicaton scenarios in which various forms of abduction would be useful, introduce …

Automated composition of Web services or the process of forming new value added Web
services is one of the most promising challenges in the semantic Web service research area …

Matchmaking arises when supply and demand meet in an electronic marketplace, or when
agents search for a web service to perform some task, or even when recruiting agencies …

This paper describes a framework for ontology-based flexible discovery of Semantic Web
services. The proposed approach relies on user-supplied, context-specific mappings from …

Semantic service coordination aims at the coherent and efficient discovery, composition,
negotiation, and execution of Semantic Web Services in a given environment and …

Ranking and optimization of web service compositions represent challenging areas of
research with significant implications for the realization of the “Web of Services” …

Recommender systems have been successfully used to address the problem of information
overload, where consumers of goods and services have too many choices and …

We present iSeM (intelligent Service Matchmaker), a precise hybrid and adaptive
matchmaker for semantic Web services, which exploits functional service descriptions in …
