Abstract

This paper presents a new context-based solution for Web services discovery. The service description includes an enriched representation, in order to make more efficient the discovery and selection stages.
Our approach gives, services publishing and searching, another dimension. Services context-based selection uses a new quantitative similarity measure to calculate the correspondence degree between the client and the services contexts in order to provide users with appropriate services according to their contexts.
