A Semantic Peer-to-Peer Network for Service Composition in Scientific Domains

Changes are taking place in scientific research. In particular, there is a greater collaboration among groups of researchers, which leads to an increase use of information processing techniques, and a need to share results. Using peer-to-peer networks and semantic web, we create an access point to share distributed knowledge and scientific applications, where scientists can work with heterogeneous information in scientific communities according to their interests. This paper presents the e-ScienceNet, an architecture to creation of scientific communities in the context of semantic e-Science, facilitating the creation and sharing of scientific data and services. Beyond of presents the e-ScienceNet prototype.
