Performing service discovery from a collection of services in the service directory is a challenge that must be resolved. Understanding the latest technology to support service discovery could help them determine the technology that can be used. This article presents a review of previous studies related to service discovery methods carried out on service-oriented systems. It summarizes selected previous related studies and categorizes them based on qualitative approaches. The aim is to present some of the latest research and provide a comprehensive vision of designing service discovery engines. This paper provides theoretical contribution and the understanding related to service discovery from previous studies through the systematic literature review. Thirty-eight articles were selected based on search results and then reviewed. It can be used as a guide to build the service discovery engine for service-oriented system.
