ROSSE
ROSSE: The computational grid is evolving as a service-oriented computing infrastructure in which various resources such as processors, disk storage, network links, instrumentation and visualisation devices, domain applications and software libraries can be exposed as services. Service discovery becomes an issue of vital importance in utilising grid facilities. ROSSE is a Rough sets based search engine for service discovery in grid computing environments. ROSSE has the following salient features:
-
Building on Rough sets theory, ROSSE is capable of dealing with uncertainty with respect to service properties when matching services. In this way, ROSSE can achieve high precision in service discovery compared with other service discovery mechanisms such as UDDI and OWL-S.
-
ROSSE introduces a quality-of-service model (QoS) so that functionally matched services can be further filtered with their non-functional properties related to QoS.
-
Services published with existing representative mechanisms such as UDDI and OWL-S can be registered with ROSSE to become discoverable by ROSSE.
