Dynamically Composing Web Services from On-line Sources

Contents

The power of web services can only be realized when web services are utilized as building blocks to dynamically compose new web services. The Building Finder application is an example application that integrates information from several web services by modeling the web services as information sources in a mediator-based architecture. The paper also describes a mediator framework to dynamically compose new web services, similar to the Building Finder, by generating an integration plan to integrate information from the existing web services.
