“…It has been established that directory services, such as UDDI, are important but insufficient for this purpose [9] and need to be complemented with matchmaking facilities like symmetry of information exchange between services and their consumers, the ability of each party to describe requirements from the other party, a rich language to describe services' and consumer demands, and a methodology to choose efficiently among competing service instances.…”

The demand for quickly delivering new applications is increasingly becoming a business imperative today. Application development is often done in an ad hoc manner, without standard frameworks or libraries, thus resulting in poor reuse of software assets. Web services have received much interest in industry due to their potential in facilitating seamless business-to-business or enterprise application integration. A web services composition tool can help automate the process, from creating business process functionality, to developing executable workflows, to deploying them on an execution environment. However, we find that the main approaches taken thus far to standardize and compose web services are piecemeal and insufficient. The business world has adopted a (distributed) programming approach in which web service instances are described using WSDL, composed into flows with a language like BPEL and invoked with the SOAP protocol. Academia has propounded the AI approach of formally representing web service capabilities in ontologies, and reasoning about their composition using goal-oriented inferencing techniques from planning. We present the first integrated work in composing web services end to end from specification to deployment by synergistically combining the strengths of the above approaches. We describe a prototype service creation environment along with a use-case scenario, and demonstrate how it can significantly speed up the time-tomarket for new services.

“…In the absence of the model differentiating service types from instances in OWL-S, we use ServiceProfile model to represent web service type definitions in our service composition system [11]. The task of providing descriptions for specific web service instances is done using the Web Services Matchmaking Engine (WSME) [12] as discussed later in Physical Composition.…”

One of the main goals of the semantic web services effort is to enable automated composition of web services. An end-to-end view of the service composition process involves automation of composite service creation, development of executable workflows and deployment on an execution environment. However, the main focus in literature has been on the initial part of formally representing web service capabilities and reasoning about their composition using AI techniques. Based upon our experience in building an end-to-end composition tool for application integration, we bring out issues that have an impact on information modeling aspects of the composition process. In this paper, we present approaches for solving problems relating to scalability and manageability of service descriptions and data flow construction for operationalizing the composed services.
