Performance analysis of a semantics-enabled service registry
Service discovery is a critical task in service-oriented architectures. In this paper, we study GRIMOIRES, the semantics-enabled service registry of the OMII software distribution, from a performance perspective. We study the scalability of GRIMOIRES against the amount of information that has been published into it. The methodology we use and the data we present are helpful for researchers to understand the performance characteristics of the registry and, more generally, of semantics-enabled service discovery. Based on this experimentation, we claim that GRIMOIRES is an efficient semantics-aware service discovery engine. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
