Web Service in Context and Dependency-Aware Service Composition

Abstract

Service composition enables service users to develop Web applications by composing services via Internet. Traditional service description is function-centred, but lack of composition information, which hinders service composition with respect to service contexts. In this paper, we examine service composition information (i.e. service contexts and service dependency). The context- aware service management platform that we developed provides support for service users to compose services by managing service dependency.
