—Mechanisms for Web services Discovery proposed so far have assumed a centralized registry that collects information about all the Web services available at any given time. Centralized registries are performance bottlenecks and may result in single points of failure. In this paper, we propose an alternative architecture based on a P2P connection between Web services and we show how to perform capability matching between Web services on the Gnutella network.
