In a service-oriented environment services can be composed such that new value added services are created. The problem of service composition raises a number of specific issues like the openness of the environment and the large number of possible services. As currently such massive service deployments do not exist, the current techniques proposed for service composition are difficult to test and compare. In this paper we propose a synthetic testbed that can be used for simulating large deployments of services and also for generating service composition problems. The testbed could prove to be an useful tool for the understanding, characterization and comparison of different service composition approaches. 1
