Individualized service selection with ontologies and rules

Abstract

An extension of the HTN-DL web service model is presented, including rules for web service behavior and compliance validation against customer requests. The intention is to overcome the limitations of HTN-DL and OWL-S in covering business constraints in service selection and also the limitation of preconditions. The proposed approach validates a web service obtained through HTN-DL planning, for compliance to customer constraints. A proof of concept implementation shows the workings of our conceptualization.
