“…Nowadays, as the information system (IS) evolves in a dynamic environment, the services invocation needs to adapt to the various changes that may occur and to be flexible with respect to the user choices. In this context, many works (Xu et al , 2012; Fekih et al , 2016; Khanfir et al , 2016) have involved personalization in the composition process such as the work in Xu et al (2012), which includes personalization in the realization step.…”

“…User profiles are created from the acquisition of the services information. The composition result is validated when the system evolution is satisfied by a new requirement for services and users; Fekih et al (2016). While taking into account the user requirements and the contextual changes, the authors combine services to reduce the number of candidate services.…”

“…The evaluation through the dynamicity facet shows that the studied methods are characterized by a dynamic environment. For example, the works in Xu et al (2012), Fekih et al (2016) and Khanfir et al (2016) revolve around semantic modeling and require the environment dynamicity to respond to the user requirements. The authors in Khani et al (2015), Brucker et al (2013) and Bourouis et al (2016) show their interest in some requirements and prove that the environment dynamicity is paramount.…”

“…Several works (Xu et al , 2012; Fekih et al , 2016; Khanfir et al , 2016) show a remarkable interest in web services composition engineering (WSCE) process while considering the composition as a reuse process that requires a dynamic environment. The latter takes into account the context to try to satisfy the user requirements.…”

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.
