Abstract: It is a challenge to recommend services according to users' interests when search systems return plenty of keyword-like services. We propose a personalised search approach for web service recommendation. First, interests are extracted from users' records. Second, interest-similar users are selected using the criterion of cosine distance. Third, services are ranked in decreasing order based on the recommendation from interest-similar users. At the end of this paper, we conduct three groups' experiments to verify the effect of this approach.

Keywords: personalised search; web service recommendation; service ranking; user interest; TF-IDF; WSDL; web services; recommender systems.
