AWSCPM: A Framework For Automation Of Web Services Composition Processes

A growing number of companies are using web services to make their expertise and data available through the network. The current problem is the integration of these services in order to implement inter-company collaboration. Research organizations and industrialists are trying to find an adequate solution to achieve this task called services composition. The development of composite services using the Models Driven Approach (MDA) principles is as follows: The developer specifies the composition scenario using a modeling language. Once the specification is complete, it is usually formally validated before proceeding with the implementation of the new composite service. In this paper we present a summary of our developed approach of web services composition based on MDA, and using different languages and systems, like Multi-Agent Reactive Decisional system (MARDS) for the modeling task, LOTOS language for formal verification, and BPEL language for implementation. In order to automate these processes of web services composition approach, we have developed as part of this research the framework AWSCPM «Automatic Web Services Composition Process based on MARDS».
