Abstract:

Web service retrieval difficulties hampers the speed of its application and development. After realizing a web service search engine named WSSE, how to rank the services becomes the focus. The novel WSRank algorithm is advanced through analyzing the web services distribution structure and mutual relationship based on the crawling features, and learning from the famous PageRank Algorithm and its improved research achievements. The rank values are iteratively calculated, and then the web services are sorted by the values in a nonincreasing order. The experiments show that the algorithm can improve the accuracy of Web service search.
