Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a Service Generator Toolkit (SGT) that allows Web services researchers to easily create large numbers of Web services. When developing a Web services tool, such as a service broker, it is necessary to obtain a large collection of Web services for testing and benchmarking purposes. Since it is difficult to manually create

Composition, Performance Analysis and Simulation of Web Services
Amit Sheth

The new paradigm for distributed computing over the Internet is that of Web services. They are Web accessiblesofware components which can be combined and linked together to create new functionality in the form of Webprocesses. This also creates the need to compose services into processes that are efficient in terms of theirperformance. In this work, we describe our Service Composition and Execution Tool (SCET) and also describethe various methodologies that could be adopted for evaluating the performance of a Web process. ...

ASTRO: Supporting Composition and Execution of Web Services
Gabriele Zacco

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2005

Web services are rapidly emerging as the reference paradigm for the interaction and coordination of distributed business processes. In several research papers we have shown how advanced automated planning techniques can be exploited to automatically compose web services, and to synthesize monitoring components that control their execution. In this demo we show how these techniques have been implemented in the ASTRO toolset (http://www.astroproject.org), a set of tools that extend existing platforms for web service design and execution with automated composition and execution monitoring functionalities.

Automating Web Service Composition
Tamer Al-Mashat

Advances in Systems Analysis, Software Engineering, and High Performance Computing

In the Service-Driven Computing paradigm, applications are typically built by composing a set of Web services. Web service composition facilitates rapid development of applications via service reuse and enables the creation of complex services from simpler application services. Research efforts in the area of Web service composition are concerned mainly with two challenges, namely automated service synthesis and verification of the composed Web services. This chapter presents a framework for Web service composition based on semantic specification through OWL-S to establish an ontological agent for automating Web service composition. The semantic description serves to define the planning domain for the agent to automate the composition procedure. A Petri nets model is applied to build a formal representation of the structure and behavior of the service. Finally, AND-OR graph methodology is used to represent the dependences among Web services to select between alternatives based on Qu...

Implementation Issues for Automatic Composition of Web Services
Luciano A Digiampietri

2010 Workshops on Database and Expert Systems Applications, 2010

Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm for the agile development of software based on the orchestration of loosely-coupled services. Services perform functions from the solution of simple atomic requests to execution of complex business processes. Nowadays, new services are created from the manual composition of basic Web Services. It is an arduous and susceptible to errors task. To avoid this problem, it is necessary the existence of discovery and automatic composition mechanisms.This paper presents the specification of a architecture and implementation of a prototype for the automatic composition of Web Services using Artificial Intelligence planning techniques and the WSMO ontological model. Moreover, the paper contains a discussion about design and implementation choices and further improvements.

Semi-automatic Web service generation
Mariano Rico

2005

ABSTRACT The lack of a critical mass of actually deployed web services, semantic or not, is an important hurdle for the advancement and further innovation in web service technologies. In this paper we introduce Federica, a platform for semi-automatic generation and implementation of semantic web services by exploiting existing web applications published in internet. Federica generates semantically enriched WSDL descriptions.

Semi-automatic Web service generation and classification
José Martín Fuentes

2005

The convergence of semantic web techniques with web service technologies has enabled the emergence of so-called semantic web services. This new kind of services enacts the automatic manipulation of services by software programs, to perform tasks such as automatic service location, composition, and invocation. In this paper, we propose methods and techniques that enable the semi-automatic generation, deployment, semantic annotation and classification of web services.

A service creation environment based on end to end composition of Web services
arun mittal

2005

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.

TSpaces Services Suite: Automating the Development and Management of Web Services
dwayne nelson

2003

Web services allow authorized entities (including individuals, corporations, and automated agents) to employ software components created by other parties scattered across the globe. In support of this powerful model of interaction, we have designed and implemented an infrastructure and a set of tools to simplify the development and management of Web services. This infrastructure and these tools form the TSpaces Services Suite (TSSuite). This paper shows how TSSuite supports the Web services model, and it describes the design and functionality of the main TSSuite components.
