Adapting Golog for Composition of Semantic Web Services
845 Citations2002Sheila A. McIlraith, Tran Cao Son
It is argued that an augmented version of the logic programming language Golog provides a natural formalism for automatically composing services on the Semantic Web and logical criteria for these generic procedures that define when they are knowledge self-sufficient and physically selfsufficient are proposed.

353 Citations2002Massimo Paolucci, Takahiro Kawamura +2 more
This work expands on previous work by showing how DAML-S Service Profiles, that describe service capabilities within DAML, can be mapped into UDDI records providing therefore a way to record semantic information within U DDI records, and shows how this encoded information can be used within the UDDi registry to perform semantic matching.
Estimated-regression planning for interactions with web services
209 Citations2002Drew McDermott
A preliminary implementation of the proposed Estimated-regression planners for web-services domain requires extending classical notations in various ways, and further tests are underway.
