Abstract

Dynamic composition of complex services from primitive components brings flexibility and adaptability to future applications. By properly selecting and combining components on dand, applications would adapt to individual user preference and would consider available context information. Existing service composition systs often require users to request services in strict syntax formats, such as data types, service tplates or logic formulas. This requirent may become an obstacle for end-users to use such systs. Instead, service composition should be santics-based so that a service is requested and composed not by its syntax but by its santics. 0In order to enable santics-based dynamic service composition, both the modeling of components as well as the service composition mechanism must support santics. To satisfy the requirent of santic support in the component modeling, we have designed a new model named Component Service Model with Santics (CoSMoS). CoSMoS integrates the santic information of a component and the functional information of a component into a single santic graph representation. A unified interface named Component Runtime Environment (CoRE) is developed to convert different component implentations onto the CoSMoS representation. Using the santic support of CoSMoS, we have developed a santics-based service composition mechanism named Santic Graph based Service Composition (SeGSeC). SeGSeC generates the execution path of the requested service, and checks the santics of the path against the request. We have implented a service composition syst using the above techniques, and donstrated that our syst supports santics-based dynamic service composition.

Cumulative developments, starting with object-oriented technologies, executable components, and Web service technologies, coupled with continuing advancements in processor and memory speed, naturally lead to the dynamic composite service construction and management problem. This paper proposes a solution to this problem using semantic information. The notion of composite services and associated standards has been reviewed recently in several papers. Readers who are not familiar with the fundamental notions and standards should consult other papers [1,2]. Furthermore, the sixth edition of Pressman's classic book on software engineering [3] provides background material on the service model. This paper, however, explains a unique way of achieving the objective of semantic information-based composition: by specifying a component domain framework connected to three other domains, namely, semantics, data-type, and logic. The authors' architecture is the result of their correct observation that existing service composition systems generally require users to request services in the restricted syntactical forms of "data-types," "service templates," or "logic formulas." It is granted that service requests in the form of data-types or logic formulas are a technological carryover from earlier frameworks. It should also be remembered that the paper is proposing a solution to the dynamic service composition problem, in which all types of service requests should be handled in a systematic way. Fujii and Suda have developed their framework modularly, in three parts, to achieve separation of concerns. I have difficulty remembering their naming conventions, but a key part of the system is the semantic graph representation that integrates the semantic and functional information of the components (called CoSMoS). A second key part (called CoRE) performs a transformation function, by converting different component implementations into the semantic graph representation (CoSMoS). A third part (called SeGSeC) generates the executing path of the composite service, and conforms the semantic integrity. Although I have not personally tested the system, the paper claims that all parts have been implemented, and the proof of concept has been demonstrated. The paper has ample evidence to support this claim. However, for a comprehensive understating of all of the details, the reader should read the original paper, and should request more detailed implementation documentation from the authors.
