In a distributed service environment, service discovery is a core functionality to locate the desired services. We propose an integrated semantic service discovery approach based on ontology, which provides matching of functional and non-functional properties. Functional properties are described in terms of operations, inputs, outputs, preconditions and effects, while non-functional properties are specified as business policies, QoS properties and context policies. Ontological inference and
more » ... based reasoning are applied for automatic and accurate discovery.
