“…Still, service composition made by users has some problematic issues such as the heterogeneous, dynamic, and spontaneous nature of their needs [37], which current development environments directed towards them cannot address yet.…”

A convergent service is defined as a service that exploits the convergence of communication networks and at the same time takes advantage of features of the Web. Nowadays, building up a convergent service is not trivial, because although there are significant approaches that aim to automate the service composition at different levels in the Web and Telecom domains, selecting the most appropriate approach for specific case studies is complex due to the big amount of involved information and the lack of technical considerations. Thus, in this paper, we identify the relevant phases for convergent service composition and explore the existing approaches and their associated technologies for automating each phase. For each technology, the maturity and results are analysed, as well as the elements that must be considered prior to their application in real scenarios. Furthermore, we provide research directions related to the convergent service composition phases.

“…1 SC has been used widely within business but has only relatively recently been aimed at consumers as end-users. This section will discuss the SC life cycle, the different layers at which SC can operate, and available EUSC tools.…”

“…The overall set of requirements is deficient in two ways: (1) there are few requirements that are general, applying to EUSC as a whole, and (2) only one-specific area of the EUSC process has been investigated. Thus, we feel that it is necessary to gather a more comprehensive set of requirements to address both of these deficiencies.…”

“…Traditional SC approaches tend to be driven by the technology underpinning the composition or the developer, rather than by the end-user of the composition tool or composite service [1]. We argue that EUSC and the technologies that underpin it can benefit from active investigation of what end-users require from composition.…”

“…The main contributions of this paper are (1) to describe a generalizable and repeatable process for deriving a robust and coherent set of requirements for EUSC tools; and (2) to present the comprehensive set of 139 requirements that we gathered. We demonstrate that our methodology is generic by outlining how it could be applied in different domains in addition to our chosen domain of EUSC.…”

End-user Service Composition (EUSC) is defined as service composition where the person who creates the composite service also uses it. We derived requirements for EUSC tools using a custom method based on the scenario-based requirements analysis method. Ten participants were given scenarios, a demonstrator application and examples of EUSC tools before being interviewed. Analysing their responses, we elicited 139 requirements across topics including service ''types'' (e.g. pervasive services), composition flow (i.e. control/data flow) and the use of templates in composition. This is the first published work to have used a robust requirements analysis method in EUSC, adapted specifically to take account of prior work on EUSC. Some of our requirements validate those found in prior research or current EUSC tools but many are unique to our findings. The requirements found in this work inform and inspire the development of future EUSC tools, and the methodology is easily adapted for application in other domains.
