Measuring Semantic Similarity in Grids Using Ontology

Abstract

Grid computing is a new and broad research area that aims to share resources available in many computers in the network. Web services have necessary capabilities to achieve this goal and due to this, usually grid service is called a Web service. Measuring the similarity of services is an important and valuable task that is used particularly in some cases such as replacing a service with another service or combination of services and applications. In this paper, a semantic model based on OWL ontology language for services is presented and with regard to this, the similarity measure is provided .Finally, a mathematical model for solving two given problems is proposed.
