Integration of transient Web services into a virtual peer to peer Web service registry

Transient Web service provisioning implies a variety of different requirements that are hard to meet in traditional Web service environments. Currently, Web service brokerage focuses on centralized or replicated architectures. We argue that such systems are not efficient when it comes to dynamic, respectively ad hoc, Web service provisioning. We propose a distributed peer to peer Web service registry solution based on lightweight Web service profiles. We further introduce the notion of views that allow the specification of arbitrary contexts of Web services and provide a working example to illustrate our approach. Finally, we present a prototype that uses tuple spaces as global storage and communication means. Keywords Web services . Pervasive computing . Tuple spaces . Web service registries
