Abstract. We propose a method for the automatic refinement of web service compositions: given a composite web service specification over abstract modules, our method generates lower-level versions of this composition. The refinement process is based on query rewriting techniques extended to take into account not only functional and non-functional requirements but also semantic information. Experimental results illustrate the performance and scalability of the method.
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.
