“…Based on PASCO framework and referring to the evaluation result presented in (Section 4), our aim is to introduce personalization in the whole WSC process. As personalization is identified through the user and the service models, we have explained in our previous work (Abidi et al , 2018) that the user model construction step is the key for refined cloud services discovery.…”

“…As mentioned in (Section 2.1), personalization increases the security threats. Thereupon, as a first part of our approach, we have defined user security requirements in the user model (Abidi et al , 2018) and services security requirements in the service model (Abidi et al , 2017). As a second part, we have proposed a service security governance based on GDPR[3] rules, which aim to detect vulnerabilities and enhance the trust.…”

Purpose Web services composition engineering (WSCE) is a big challenge because of the increasing complexity, openness and extensibility of services based on the information system (IS). In the absence of an adequate framework for IS engineering, the authors assume that the overall problem is consequently no longer easy to resolve. This paper aims to explore some of the issues underlying WSCE through a framework, which is built based on the state of the art. The proposed framework is structured around five views that mainly highlight aspects of personalization and security concerns. The main objectives of this framework are: to help understand and clarify the basics of the WSCE domain; to evaluate web services composition (WSC) methods; to analyze and compare existing personalization, secure methods and identify new research axes; and to identify the main criteria of the ongoing approach for the design of a secure IS based on personalized WSC. Design/methodology/approach This work develops a framework that is used as an analytical study to compare the existing WSCE methods and come up with research issues. Then, the proposed framework is considered as an abstract model for the new WSCE approach. Findings A set of criteria that the proposed framework should consider when developing a new approach to a secure IS based on personalized WSs composition. Research limitations/implications The paper has theoretical implications as the personalization and security issues provide a research roadmap toward the realization of an approach for the design of a secure IS based on personalized WSs composition. Practical implications As proof, the authors are interested in a web services repository of a real mall. To do this, the authors deployed the application in a cloud environment and observed the results of personalization and security concepts in WSCE. Originality/value None of the existing comparison frameworks has raised both personalization and security issues in WSs composition, while personalization and security must be present in the whole composition process.

“…Nowadays, we find a large number of services available on the Web and in different directories, where a Web service is an application made available on internet. These services are generally defined by their function, input/output [1][2][3], which allow their reuse. However, user requirements are continually evolving, so the available services can not meet all needs especially the most complex ones.…”

Generally available Web Services (WS) can not meet the complex needs of users and their adaptation to the environment remains a major problem for the design of information systems. The web services composition comes to address the satisfaction of new and complex needs such as the process we find in most organizations. Its purpose is to perform several services to meet user demand. The satisfaction of a user needs a dynamic and reusable environment to meet those needs. In this context, the user interactions are essential. From there, in this work, we define two objectives: i) propose a service composition approach that allows dynamic services composition and its purpose is to meet a need. ii) Propose a personalization approach for Web services composition which allows the reuse of services while adopting for the context of each user. Our approach is based on the use of ontologies and user profile.
