Yiqiang Li, Zhiliang Zhu, Yu Dai, Bin Zhang · ASME Press eBooks · 2009
How to establish composite service in a just-in-time manner and allow users to configure their applications conveniently becomes a hot issue in the research area of web services composition. This paper proposes an approach of user-oriented service composition. The approach is centered on the proposed 3-level web service mapping mechanism. Based on such mechanism, a hierarchical composing structure is proposed which includes user-defined composition, system-supported composition and instance-oriented composition. By a prototype and experiments, the feasibility of the proposed approach is verified.
