Web services composition search systems have received a great deal of attention recently. However, current solutions have limitations of inefficiency and including redundant web services in the results. In this paper, we proposed a redundant-free web services composition search based on a two phase algorithm. In the forward phase, the candidate composition will be found efficiently by searching the Link Index. In the backward phase, redundant-free web services compositions are generated from the candidate composition by using the concepts of tokens. Experimental results demonstrate the performance benefits of our proposed techniques compared to state-of-the-art composition approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
