Abstract
The present invention relates to a computerized method applicable to a set of parties connected via a network, and in particular it relates to a method and system for improving the search for services offered via said network. Said parties are Service Providers offering said services, Service Requesters needing said services, and Service Brokers maintaining information about said services and service providers. Said Service Brokers assist said Service Requestors in finding, for a particular service, the best services from the best Service Providers ranked by the importance for said Service Requestor. Obviously, the acceptance of a particular Service Broker by a particular Service Requestor depends on the capability of providing a (ranked) list of services that best meet the demands of a particular Service Requester. It is proposed to exploit data mining technology to achieve the proper ranking of said list created as a result of a Service Requester'"'"'s request by providing at least said list (402) to a trained data-mining model (412) that then generates the proper ranked list (414) The trained data-mining model (412) is created by training an untrained data-mining model with some or all of the following information:
a. Properties of the offered service such as a description of the service,
b. Queries (406) that Service Requesters have submitted,
c. The non-ranked lists of services that have been derived from said queries (402),
