Effort-Oriented Classification Matrix of Web Service Composition

Abstract

Within the service-oriented computing domain, Web service composition is an effective realization to satisfy the rapidly changing requirements of business. Therefore, the research into Web service composition has unfolded broadly. Since examining all of the related work in this area becomes a mission next to impossible, the classification of composition approaches can be used to facilitate multiple research tasks. However, the current attempts to classify Web service composition do not have clear objectives. Furthermore, the contexts and technologies of composition approaches are confused in the existing classifications. This paper proposes an effort-oriented classification matrix for Web service composition, which distinguishes between the context and technology dimension. The context dimension is aimed at analyzing the environment influence on the effort of Web service composition, while the technology dimension focuses on the technique influence on the effort. Consequently, besides the traditional classification benefits, this matrix can be used to build the basis of cost estimation for Web service composition in future research.Comment: 6 pages, Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services (ICIW 2010), pp. 357-362, Barcelona, Spain, May 9-15, 201

Circumstantial-evidence-based effort judgement for web service composition-based SOA implementations

“…However, we can inductively draw some classification of this work, and thereby facilitate the effort judgement for different type of WSC approaches. To overcome the deficiencies of existing classifications for WSC, a novel classification matrix aimed at the influence on the effort of WSC has been introduced (Li et al, 2010a). This matrix uses clarified terminology, and differentiates the classifications between the context and technology dimensions.…”

Modeling Native Intelligence Semantics for Indigenous Selection of Web Services Using Slaky Composer

“…In 2010 effort-oriented classification matrix was proposed for web service classification [4]. Semantic web service composition algorithm was also proposed using QOS ontology [5].…”

TripICS - a Web Service Composition System for Planning Trips and Travels

“…Automatic composition of Web services is a very active area of research which has provided a lot of important results [10,1,15,6] as well as many implemented approaches [11,12,2,3,13]. In this paper we present the system TripICS -a real-life application of our Web service composition system PlanICS [8,9,13] to planning trips and travels around the world.…”
