Service Composition with Directories
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents planning-based service composition algorithms that dynamically interact with a potentially large-scale directory of service advertisements in order to retrieve matching service advertisements on demand. We start with a simple algorithm for untyped services, similar to a STRIPS planner. This algorithm is refined in two steps, first to exploit type information, and second to support partial type matches. An evaluation confirms that the algorithms scale well with increasing size of the directory and that the support for partial type matches is essential to achieve a low failure rate.

Integrating Directories and Service Composition
A major challenge in web service composition is that there will be a large number of often redundant web services that can be used. Furthermore, the set of services is unbounded and changes dynamically. Consequently, web service composition methods have to be tightly integrated with directories or search engines for such services. We introduce an approach for creating scalable directories of we...
متن کاملPrivacy Preserving Service Discovery and Ranking For Multiple User QoS Requirements in Service-Based Software Systems
Service based software (SBS) systems are software systems consisting of services based on the service oriented architecture (SOA). Each service in SBS systems provides partial functionalities and collaborates with other services as workflows to provide the functionalities required by the systems. These services may be developed and/or owned by different entities and physically distributed acros...
متن کاملSemantic middleware for context services composition in ubiquitous computing
In this paper, we describe a semantic middleware which aims to provide ubiquitous computing applications with high level contextual knowledge. The proposed middleware architecture is designed around service agent entities, offering transparent and reusable services for context semantic discovery, capture and aggregation. Aggregation of contextual knowledge is modeled using services composition ...
متن کاملSelection and Ranking of Propositional Formulas for Large-Scale Service Directories
In this paper we consider scenarios, such as web service composition, where a planner needs to discover its operators by querying a potentially very large and dynamically changing directory. Our contribution is a directory system that represents service advertisements and requests as propositional formulas and provides a flexible query language allowing complex selection and ranking expressions...
متن کاملDesign Options for Service Directories in Business Networks
Web services and service oriented architectures (SOA) are spreading in many organizations to achieve business interoperability of their intraand inter-organizational business processes. SOA is based on the idea that service providers develop and publish web services via standardized interfaces in directories (registries) where the services will be found and bound by service consumers. While the...
