This addresses the problem of time-consuming manual web service composition for users needing complex services, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing approaches.

The paper tackles the challenge of automatic web service composition in dynamic environments by proposing a novel architecture that combines clustering and the Ant Colony algorithm, resulting in an optimized method for constructing new services from existing ones.

In today's Web, Web Services are created and updated on the fly. For answering complex needs of users, the construction of new web services based on existing ones is required. It has received a great attention from different communities. This problem is known as web services composition. However, it is one of big challenge problems of recent years in a distributed and dynamic environment. Web services can be composed manually but it is a time consuming task. The automatic web service composition is one of the key features for future the semantic web. The various approaches in field of web service compositions proposed by the researchers. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for semantic web service composition using clustering and Ant colony algorithm.
