Web Composition Inter-Service Dependency Checker

Abstract

Web services allow companies to automate their business processes by facilitating B2B communication. However, the complex nature of business processes often consists of multiple transactions across different companies. Therefore, there is a need to provide a solution to first consolidate all required services and then compose them together in an ordered sequence as defined by the business process. This paper focuses on web service composition, namely, on integrating relevant services to form an equivalent business process.
