Abstract:
Finding services in dynamic and heterogeneous contexts, as converged environments (Next Generation Networks), is a very complex task and a crucial aspect in this new paradigm of convergence. Therefore, it is essential to have efficient and effective mechanisms for seeking services, to take advantage of resources in the network (Web and telecommunications services). Recent studies have developed Service Creation Environments for Telecommunications and Internet converged services, where user´s requests are represented by complex expressions that describe the required services. Thus, the search and selection of these services depend on the ability of the developer to retrieve the most suitable ones, converting this labor in an inefficient work. With this in mind, and in order to improve the time to create convergent services, this paper proposes a novel approach that supports the automatic retrieval of services in converged environments, considering functional and non-functional requirements of end-user's requests in natural language, to optimize the process of convergent services creation.
