Most of studies on the automated generation of composite Web services create composite
services by chaining available services' inputs and outputs, but do not consider their …

Coordination is a system-level concern defining execution and interaction semantics of
functional computations. Separating coordination from functional computations is a key …

In this work we address the issue of selecting and composing Web Services (WSs)
considering functional requirements and transactional properties. We formalize the WS …

In this work, we present a framework for the semantic composition of web services based on
Statecharts and uniform community service descriptions. Our model is a two step process. In …

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is an extremely data-intensive environment where each
patient needs to be monitored 24/7. Bedside monitors continuously register vital patient …

The semantic characteristics related to the Web services definition are weakly addressed in
the original definition of the stack of Web services. Web services languages like WSDL or …

An emerging software engineering methodology is the combination of functionality and

Abstract Existing Web Service architectures provide the basis for publishing applications as
Web Services (WSs), and for composing existing WSs to provide new functionalities. To fully …

Dynamic Web service composition is a process of building a new value added service using
available services to satisfy the requester's complex functional need. In this paper we …

Since most of studies on the automated composition of web services do not consider the
functional semantics of services, unsatisfied results may be generated against users' …
