Abstract:
Composition of web services is a prominent feature of
Service Oriented Architecture, for implementing
business processes. Business processes may collaborate
within or across organizations. During cross
organizational collaborations, services are often
heterogeneous thereby bringing challenges to
composition. The two most popular types of web
services are SOAP based web services and RESTful
web services. Most of the existing solutions for service
composition address SOAP based web services and
RESTful web services separately. A few prior attempts
to compose SOAP and RESTful web services together
use semi automatic methods like converters which are
inefficient. In this paper, "DyCSR" a dynamic
composition technique for composing SOAP and
RESTful web services has been proposed. The
technique involves a middleware service that enables
composition of SOAP and RESTful web services
dynamically.
