“…Composition can be done at design time or at run time according to the use of static or dynamic properties. Some authors [10], for reason of simplicity define only sequential operator in the workflow structure, others consider only local constraints [2,7,8,9,11]. None of these works handles simultaneously local, global and choreography user constraints by a semantic approach that handles also the matching of heterogeneous descriptions of web services.…”

“…Many applications and research emphasize on semi-automatic mode [1,2,3,4]. Most of existing approaches are syntax-based approaches based on techniques like Constraint Solver Problem [2,3,4,11] to match syntactically heterogeneous descriptions. However, considering global and choreography constraints between services requires to draw semantic relations between web services and their attributes.…”

Service composition is a very complex and challenging task, especially when it has to consider not only the services properties and their dependencies but also users constraints. In this paper we propose a semantic based approach for web service composition, which allows users to define different kinds of constraints: local, global and choreography constraints. Services are organized in a framework capturing dependencies between abstract and concrete services. We also provide a survey of the state of the art of the field and we make some suggestions as to where the research in this area might be heading and how our future work need to be addressed.

“…This is very much undesirable especially when dealing with NN-queries as the client is moving during the process and the information may become obsolete easily. Some researches have reported some approaches to overcome the service demands such as load balancing (Taniar and Leung, 2003), and composite services (Benslimane et al, 2007). However, they are not designed for mobile users where …”

The use of communities provides a scalable solution for gathering and managing functionally-equivalent Web services. In order to ensure single access to the community, a community uses a common interface that acts as a proxy and selects other Web services in the community. However, Web services adopt different semantics for representing the data they receive and send. These semantics must be adapted to conforming to the community semantics. In this paper, we present a solution to this problem. Our solution is based on the use of context in order to explicitly describe semantic discrepancies within a community. We rely on a semantic annotation of WSDL descriptions to describe the semantics attached to Web services, and we provide mediation mechanisms at the community level to handle semantic heterogeneities between Web services and the community. We validate our solution through implementation and experimentation over a test community and show the limitations of our approach.
