Abstract

One of the striking advantages of Web Service technology is the fairly simple aggregation of complex services out of a library of other composite or atomic services. The same is expected to hold for the domain of Semantic Web Services such as those specified in WSMO or OWL-S. The composition of complex services at design time is a well-understood principle which is nowadays supported by classical workflow and AI planing based composition tools (cf. Chapter 4).
