An Overview of Web Services Composition Approaches

An 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...

Approaches to Semantic Web Services: an Overview and Comparisons

The next Web generation promises to deliver Semantic Web Services (SWS); services that are self-described and amenable to automated discovery, composition and invocation. A prerequisite to this, however, is the emergence and evolution of the Semantic Web, which provides the infrastructure for the semantic interoperability of Web Services. Web Services will be augmented with rich formal descript...

Web services composition: A decade's overview

Service-oriented computing (SOC) represents a paradigm for building distributed computing applications over the Internet. In the past decade, Web services composition has been an active area of research and development endeavors for application integration and interoperation. Although Web services composition has been heavily investigated, several issues related to dependability, ubiquity, pers...

Discovering Web Services: An Overview

An overview of interactive application composition approaches

Application composition is an approach to create applications by using software components as building blocks. Applications can be composed of Web Services and resources associated with mobile devices, displays and various augmented everyday objects. In this article, we focus on ubiquitous applications which aim at supporting users’ needs and everyday activities. Application composition is part...
