A Partial Pre-composing Method for Composition of Web Services

Abstract In recent years, web service compositions are deemed to be one of the new technologies to build an application system. By composing independent web services, loosely coupled services are integrated into value-added service compositions. In this paper, we address the web service composition problem and propose a partial pre-composing approach. This approach picks and generates popular user requests as service combinations stored in the service repository. We compare our approach with QoS driven, extended A* and Graphplan methods, the experimental results indicate that our algorithm can return a solution with fewer web services or less execution time.
