Book Chapter: Service Discovery with SWE-ET and DIANE – An In-depth Comparison By Means of a Common Scenario

Semantic service discovery and matchmaking has received increased attention within the last years. Various approaches have been proposed but agreed upon criteria how to objectively evaluate and compare these approaches are widely lacking. In this paper we present an in-depth comparison of two solutions to the discovery problems defined by the SWS-Challenge. By means of this common and independently developed scenario we can develop a much better understanding for the applied technologies in general, but also and in particular for the trade-offs involved in the different approaches.
