WS-Advisor: A Task Memory for Service Composition Frameworks
Résumé
With the proliferation of Web services, it is becoming
increasingly important to support the users in selecting the
most appropriate compositions of services for a task. We propose
a new service discovery and selection framework that utilises the
concept of task memories and a social network of task memories.
A task memory captures the service composition history and their
meta-data such as associated context and user rating. A network
of task memories is formed to realise an effective task memory
sharing platform among the users. The service selection process
recommends combinations of services that are most appropriate
in a given context by consulting the network of task memories.
The continuous updates of the task memories over time will result
in more fine-tuned recommendations for composite services.
