Extending the Service Composition Formalism with Relational Parameters
This work addresses the challenge of creating more complex web service compositions for developers and users, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing state-of-the-art methods.
The authors tackled the problem of limited expressiveness in automated web service composition by introducing a new modeling approach based on ontologies and relational parameters, which extends the range of problems that can be solved automatically.
Web Service Composition deals with the (re)use of Web Services to provide complex functionality, inexistent in any single service. Over the state-of-the-art, we introduce a new type of modeling, based on ontologies and relations between objects, which allows us to extend the expressiveness of problems that can be solved automatically.
