Alan is right. UDDI registry is not designed to monitor service availability. Some commercial products such as AmberPoint provide service monitoring functions as part of the SOA runtime governance solution. But such products are usually difficult to use and configure.
If you just want to check if your computer is on or not, it's better to use SNMP-based monitoring tools (e.g. HP openview, but I am sure there are open-source tools as well). They are designed to monitor the availability of your network and hardware systems.

My guess is that the registry is NOT responsible for checking if the "end points" are active. It would be up to your application to check their end-points (i.e. the services) to see if they are active - i.e. after your application has obtained the service's end-point, your application would have to monitor that end-point to see if it is active, however this could per perceived as spamming by the server and it not good practice to keep pinging them "just to check". You application should handle the situation of when the end-point is down, i.e. what is the backup plan, etc. These end-points are web servers and there could be many of them in the registry so you shouldn't expect the registry to do maintenance check on its registered services.
