This paper addresses automatic service composition (ASC) as a means to create new value-
added services dynamically and automatically from existing services in service-oriented …

Abstract Service composition provides value-adding services through composing basic Web
services, which may be provided by various organizations. Cloud computing presents an …

As a promising, low-cost, and agile way to develop software, in recent years automatic
service composition has been a popular research topic receiving a lot of attentions. For this …

Resulting from the constantly increasing usage of service oriented computing, the problem
of automatic composition of services is rapidly gaining attention. Many solutions have been …

Since the Internet has become a commodity in both wired and wireless environments, new
applications and paradigms have emerged to explore this highly distributed and widespread …

Service-Oriented Computing enables the composition of loosely coupled services provided
with varying Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Selecting a near-optimal set of services for a …

With the rapidly increasing number of independently developed Web services that provide
similar functionalities with varied quality of service (QoS), service composition is considered …

Web service composition lets developers create applications on top of service-oriented
computing's native description, discovery, and communication capabilities. Such …

This chapter describes and classifies service composition approaches according to
ubiquitous and pervasive computing requirements. More precisely, because of the …

We propose the Service Data Link model (SDL), a service relationship modeling schema, to
describe service data correlations, which are data mappings among the input and output …
