First, this method integrates the domain ontology and the artificial intelligence （AI） planning algorithm. Then, it uses the domain ontology and its reasoning capability to infer the semantic relationship among parameters. Finally, it transforms the web service composition problem into the planning problem based on the AI planning heuristic algorithm. The preliminary experimental results show that the above method compensates for the lack of semantics in the previous AI planning method and it can satisfy the requirements of quality and efficiency of composition, thus generating composite web services according to customer requirements automatically and efficiently.展开更多

With this method, semantic service description can be achieved by semantic annotation of the elements in a Web service description language（WSDL） document with concepts of geographic ontology, and then a common under-standing about service semantics between customers and providers of Web services is built. Based on the decomposition and formalization of customer requirements, the discovery, composition and execution of GI Web services are explained in detail, and then a chaining of GI Web services is built and used to achieve the customer＇s requirement. Finally, an example based on Web ontology language for service （OWL-S） is provided for testing the feasibility of this method.展开更多

The traditional process of service composition is divided into semantic discovery and functional matching and makes tasks be operation objects. Semantic similarity is used to discover services matching a specific task and then generate a corresponding task-oriented web service composition （TWC） graph. Moreover, an algorithm for the new service is designed to update the TWC. The approach is applied to the composition model, in which the TWC is searched to obtain an optimal path and the final service composition is output. Also, the model can implement realtime updating with changing environments. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm and indicate that the maximum searching radius can be set to 2 to achieve an equilibrium point of quality and quantity.展开更多

SDOWSCP imports ontology into UDDI to define and annotate services in a flexible and intuitive manner and employs a concept of bond as a solution to the process heterogeneity. OBSDOSC is proposed in order to do some efforts to overcome some defects which current design tools usually have such as not user friendly and too professional. This paper proposes a pattern which describes the basic features of semi-automatic composite mode, discusses the whole lifetime of composed service and highlights how to lessen the descriptive heterogeneity and process heterogeneity and how to facilitate the design of composing a service.展开更多

On the one hand, by adopting a decentralized, network-based style, P2P technologies can make P2P systems enhance overall reliability and fault-tolerance, increase autonomy, and enable ad-hoc communication and collaboration. On the other hand, Web services provides a good approach to integrate various heterogeneous systems and applications into a cooperative environment. This paper presents the techniques of combining Web services and P2P technologies into GIS to construct a new generation of GIS, which is more flexible and cooperative. As a case study, an ongoing project JGWS is introduced, which is an experimental GIS Web services platform built on JXTA. This paper also explores the schemes of building GIS Web services in a P2P environment.展开更多
