Additional Description

Abstract

Building upon the existing Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registry specification, this thesis proposes additonal features and specifications to the OASIS standard, UDDI v3.0.2. These improvements and additional capabilities on UDDI make significant steps forward in interoperability with other development frameworks, programming paradigms and registry standards, enhance the search capabilities of UDDI by including support for aggregated searches, reduced bandwidth and complexity for service endpoint discovery, support for ranged based queries with strongly type tModel values, and bolster the security profile of the specification to prevent attacks and help reduce information assurance risks.

This thesis presents the conceptualization, descriptions, definitions and documentation of each new feature for submission for the next revision of the UDDI specification. The performance considerations and impacts of the proposed changes and future areas of work, including creating a standardized repository specification, the integration of semantic annotations and service management metadata are also discussed. Finally, the system with and without a subset of newly added features is evaluated and compared.
