The inefficiency of one-to-one matching of user requirements to a single service has given
rise to service composition. Service composition allows simple services to be dynamically …

Service-orientation is gaining momentum in distributed software applications, mainly
because it facilitates interoperability and allows application designers to abstract from …

Service Composition has been a challenging research area for many years. One of the key
ideas in this area is the matchmaking (at the semantic level) of requested services and the …

Mobile, pervasive computing environments respond to users' requirements by providing
access to and composition of various services over networked devices. In such an …

Automated matching of semantic service descriptions is the key to automatic service
discovery and binding. But when trying to find a match for a certain request it may often …

Optimization of service compositions represents a challenging area of research in mobile
networks. The use of formal semantic descriptions of service interfaces and functionalities …

With computing devices and the Internet becoming ubiquitous, users can make use of
network-based software applications in different places and situations. Mobile devices with …

Abstract Service Composition, that is, the development of customized services by
discovering, integrating and executing existing services has received a lot of attention in the …

Complex services may be dynamically composed through combining distributed
components on demand (ie, when requested by a user) in order to provide new services …

Most service composition approaches rely on top-down decomposition of a problem and AI-
style planning to assemble service components into a meaningful whole, impeding reuse …
