Abstract

Web Services (WS) became an important means of developing distributed applications composed of a native code with references to remote web services. The problem is finding the desired web service by revealing details of the service, i.e. description of functionality of object methods exposed for public use. Several models have been suggested. Some have been implemented such as UDDI, the most known model. However, UDDI was abandoned by its inventors. This paper suggests a model which would allow for an easy way of finding the desired Web Service directly (using a browser and public search engines such as Google) without having to access any dedicated servers. The model also enables software vendors to publish the WS in a flexible way.
