OWL-S through IOPE can describe services,can also combine the service,but the method of combination service is not automatic. So a method is presented by using Situation Calculus for automatic service composition based on the OWL-S model. Finally through the example analysis,the method of automatic service combination was validated.展开更多

Service components are published externally as normal web services and can thus be employed by webbased applications. In order to improve reusability and testability of service components, the concept of composition pattern is also proposed, which presents the relationships among service components. The relationships and relationship compositions have a rigorous semantic, so that composite components can be validated at the configuration stage. The composition patterns support to integrate service components of various levels of granularity. Experience indicates that the application assembly can effectively be conducted by understanding, selecting, and reusing components easily.展开更多

Goal changes caused by changing requirements of users may directly drive the corresponding evolution of service composition. However, most researches focus on how to compose services, and little efforts have been placed on how to evolve the composite services with changing requirements. In this paper, the service composition patterns are defined based on workflow patterns, and the changes of service composition patterns are analyzed according to changing goals. Finally, a case study is given to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.展开更多

The architect can instead achieve reliability by properly planning the workflow architecture. To this end he must be able to evaluate and compare the reliability of multiple architectural solutions. In this paper we present a useful tool which allows to conduct reliability analysis on planned workflows, as well as to compare the reliability of alternative solutions in a what-if analysis. The tool is implemented as a plug-in for the widely adopted Active BPEL Designer and exploits the concept of reliability pattern to evaluate the reliability formula of the workflow. The effectiveness of the approach and the operation of the tool are demonstrated with respect to a case study of a business security infrastructure realized by orchestrating simple security services.展开更多
