Achieving Web Services Composition – a Survey

摘要

Web Services composition development is too complex and dynamic. Software engineering approach is adopted to develop composite service systematically. Composition development process involves modelling, discovering & binding, publishing and invoking a composite service. This paper aims to make the composition development process clear by classifying the literature on web services composition into the phases of composition development process. As a result of this, the definition, requirements, approaches, techniques and evaluation of an end-to-end web services composition development process is made clear. The current research area which requires a lot of attention is identified and discussed at the end to further extend the topic.
