Abstract

Web Services is transforming the information sharing Web into a heterogeneous, distributed resource integration platform, aiming at enabling a global service market in which individuals and organizations can offer their competitive services to potential clients across the Web. To succeed, if not just survive, in such an emerging Web Services market, companies need effective strategies and methods to help them design reusable Web services and build Web services-based applications rapidly. In this paper, we present a dynamic service customization and composition framework for Web services. In particular, we propose a rule-based service integration language with concepts borrowed from rewriting systems. We show how the language can be used to model complex collaboration patterns among services, and compare our framework with other service integration approaches.
