Abstract

Web service composition is highly significant for the efficiency of software development in service-oriented architecture (SOA). Till now, most PN-based composition approaches are based on HPN (High Level Petri Net), but the resources of HPN are not suitable for web services. It leads to the inefficiency of those composition approaches. This paper presents a novel approach based on EPN (Elementary Petri Net) to the issue. The research has adapted EPN to device a method to model web services in order to facilitate the composition by an automatic process which is controlled by transition rules and conditions. Finally, an example is given to validate the applicability of the composition approach.
