document: A service creation environment based on end to end composition of Web services The demand for quickly delivering new applications is increasingly becoming a business imperative today . Application development is often done in an ad hoc manner , without standard frameworks or libraries , thus resulting in poor reuse of software assets . Web services have received much interest in industry due to their potential in facilitating seamless business-to-business or enterprise application integration . A web services composition tool can help automate the process , from creating business process functionality , to developing executable workflows , to deploying them on an execution environment . However , we find that the main approaches taken thus far to standardize and compose web services are piecemeal and insufficient . The business world has adopted a ( distributed ) programming approach in which web service instances are described using WSDL , composed into flows with a language like BPEL and invoked with the SOAP protocol . Academia has propounded the AI approach of formally representing web service capabilities in ontologies , and reasoning about their composition using goal-oriented inferencing techniques from planning . We present the first integrated work in composing web services end to end from specification to deployment by synergistically combining the strengths of the above approaches . We describe a prototype service creation environment along with a use-case scenario , and demonstrate how it can significantly speed up the time-to-market for new services .
