Requirements for Automated Service Composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automated service composition is an important approach to create aggregate services out of existing services. Several different approaches towards automated service composition exist. They differ not only in the used algorithms but also in provided functionality. While some support the creation of compositions with alternative or parallel control flow, others are missing this functionality. This diversity yields from a missing consensus on the required functionality to automatically compose real-world services. Hence, with this paper we aim at providing the foundation for such a consensus. We derived the required functionality from multiple business scenarios set up in the Adaptive Services Grid (ASG) project.

Automated Composition of Timed Services by Planning as Model Checking
Techniques of automated service composition can shorten development time by generating a concrete service composition out of a set of abstract composition requirements. However, no existing fully automated approach is able to deal with timed services and timed composition requirements. In this work, we propose an approach for the automated composition of timed services, represented as timed i/o...
متن کاملAutomated Service Composition Using Heuristic Search
Automated service composition is an important approach to automatically aggregate existing functionality. While different planning algorithms are applied in this area, heuristic search is currently not used. Lacking features like the creation of compositions with parallel or alternative control flow are preventing its application. The prospect of using heuristic search for composition with qual...
متن کاملAn Iterative Approach for the Process-level Composition of Web Services
Web service composition is one of the most promising and challenging ideas underlying service oriented applications, particularly in case that the components are themselves structured business processes specified in languages such as WS-BPEL. The manual development of the new composite service is a time consuming and error prone task since it must be driven by the analysis of the interaction pr...
متن کاملRequirements for Implementing Business Process Models through Composition of Semantic Web Services
Despite significant research efforts, automated service composition is neither taken up broadly nor can it be considered a solved problem. We believe that this is partly the case due to an unclear formulation of the actual business requirements and frame for this technology. In this paper, we formulate a list of 14 requirements for composition in the contexts of business process implementation,...
متن کاملVerification of Functional and Non-functional Requirements of Web Service Composition
Web services have emerged as an important technology nowadays. There are two kinds of requirements that are crucial to web service composition, which are functional and non-functional requirements. Functional requirements focus on functionality of the composed service, e.g., given a booking service, an example of functional requirements is that a flight ticket with price higher than $2000 will ...
متن کاملAn Overview of Semantic Web Services Composition Approaches
In this paper, we are motivated by the problem of semantic web services composition. We first present a typical example requiring services composition, give a definition of an automated services composition approach and outline its main requirements. We then discuss existing techniques and their limitations with regards to those requirements. Finally, we present our proposal for web services co...
