“…Multi-agent systems approaches to self-composition usually involve planification, where agents reason on their respective services and the user's needs [4]. In this area, recent work on self-composition of methods fragments brings a solution based on cooperative agents, each representing a fragment and participating to the design of the fragments composition [5].…”

Abstract-Service-oriented programming has dramatically changed the way software applications are developed. Automatic composition of services reduces human interaction on choosing the set of services that satisfy a specific request. Automatic composition has mainly been done in a centralised way with the composition specified at design time or in a decentralised manner through multi-agent systems planing. These approaches present several limitations when used in dynamically changing environments like pervasive computing scenarios. Very few proposals investigate the design of the composition arising as a result of an ongoing self-organising process that permanently adapts to context and environmental changes. In this paper we define three chemically inspired approaches for self-composition of services operating on top of a shared tuple space. We show how tuple spaces can be exploited to design spontaneous and emergent compositions that deal with context information and a dynamic set of available services. Then we prove that our algorithms can be generalised to produce compositions of services with very common features. and show how our algorithms can be easily implemented to provide self-composition of actual Web services.

The emergence of mashups made the reuse of applications easier by providing a simple solution to juxtapose applications. However, the resulting composite applications do not allow sharing data or create complex workflows. The only current way to do so is by composing applications at the functional level to create new services. Furthermore, user interfaces must be redesigned and regenerated in order to provide an interaction between user and this new service.This paper proposes a solution to this problem. The implemented approach enables to reuse user interfaces while composing services. This composition relies on a process that first abstracts the applications to be composed and the functional composition. Then, it achieves to a composition at the abstract level regenerating a concrete user interface in a target language. Also, thanks to a mixed-initiative composition framework, the several identified composition conflicts are then solved, either automatically or by a developer.

“…• Works only considering UI composition, either for defining specific toolkit for adaptive UI [9], either based on abstract definition of UI [8,3] or either adopting end-user programming [11], • Works only considering TM composition (composition of two task trees [4]), • Works deriving Tasks in FC composition and later in UI composition, because of generation UI from service annotation [7] or thanks to specific adaptable couple FC-UI [2] or deriving Tasks in UI [12] • And Works considering both FC and UI composition. The main goal in [13] is to maintain a stable UI for using a composition of volatile service.…”

Abstract. Ahead of the multiplication of specialized applications, needs for application composition increase. Each application can be described by a pair of a visible part -the User Interface (UI) -and a hidden part -the tasks and the Functional Core (FC). Few works address the problem of application composition by handling both visible and hidden parts at the same time. Our proposition described in this paper is to start from the visible parts of applications, their UIs, to build a new application while using information coming from UIs as well as from tasks. We base upon the semantic description of UIs to help the developer merge parts of former applications. We argue that this approach driven by the composition of UIs helps the user during the composition process and ensures the preservation of a usable UI for the resulting application.
