Composing Web services is often beneficial since created the new Web services from existing ones. However, Web service composition is prone to feature interactions, which denote undesirable behaviors arising when several Web services are used together. The existing methods for detecting feature interactions suffer generally from state space explosion. In this paper, we develop a method to detect feature interactions in Web services, which targets the reduction of state space explosion while trying to keep an acceptable power of feature interaction detection. The proposed method is based on the use of a language called Use-Modify which models Web services at a high abstraction level. A Use-Modify model of a Web service provides information such as "who uses what", "who modifies what", and characterizes each operation of use and modifying by "always", "sometimes", "never" and "maybe". "Use-Modify" also indicates, for each use and modifies, whether there are conditions which may specified or unspecified. We study the computational complexity of our feature interaction detection method and demonstrate its applicability in several examples.

Services computing paradigm together with Web services have significantly promoted the automation of business process in enterprise. Prevalent service composition technologies, such as WS-BPEL and WSCI, provide promising means to deal with machine-to-machine communication. Traditionally, in the phase of business process modeling, there usually require some humaninvolved tasks. Recent new technologies such as BPEL4People and Human Task begin to consider involving human interaction in business process. However, such approaches still have some limitations. On one hand, they exactly require some extensions of current BPEL standards. As a result, the existing business processes have to be rewritten and redeployed. On the other hand, they yet lack of the development and deployment supports of flexible and reusable user interfaces in business process. In this paper, we address these issues by enabling human interaction in business process with rich web applications. Our approach models human tasks as services, and can be seamlessly integrated to current BPEL without any modifications to existing engine and processes. We further support building human task presentations from service-oriented rich user interfaces. During the process execution, the corresponding task stakeholders can select, configure and compose these reusable and rich UI components according to their own application context.
