  text: Service discovery in global software markets is performed by brokers who act
    as intermediaries between service consumers and service providers.In order to
    discover services, brokers apply service matching for determining whether the
    specification of a provided service satisfies the consumer's requirements.Brokers
    can already choose between a lot of different service matching approaches considering
    different service properties (structural, behavioral, and non-functional properties).Different
    matching approaches can be combined into configurable matching processes leading
    to a high matching quality (e.g., accurate matching results). However, this combination
    and configuration is a manual procedure and has to be repeated for different consumers'
    or market requirements regarding matching quality. In this paper, we propose our
    framework MatchBox, which supports a broker in reusing existing matching approaches
    and combining them in a model-driven way based on a reconfigurable model of the
    matching process.Using this reconfigurable model, MatchBox takes care of control
    and data flow between matching approaches and executes the modeled processes automatically.As
    a case study, we integrated eleven matchers into MatchBox to demonstrate that
    it remains flexibility and reduces effort for a broker at the same time.
