An agent-based and semantic service oriented approach for service discovery in Network Centric Warfare (NCW)
In the new age one of the most challenging aspects of the information age is discovering the desired services with most accuracy and speed. In this paper a new semantic model is presented for the service discovering process in network centric warfare (NCW). The model is based on predefined ontology which is determined for the most important aspects of NCW in the application level. Services is based on a service oriented infrastructure and implemented as a grid which is developed as independent services. In the model, service discovery mechanism allows each of service agents to interact with its agent neighbors semantically and form a service chain for a specific task dynamically. The introduced model considered the semantic SOA which can overcome the undesirable time-delays and overhead corresponding to complexity of service discovery at heterogeneous environment such as NCW.
Keywords: network centric warfare, brokering, service agent, ontology, semantic similarity function.
