Abstract

In this paper, we put forward an automatic method of acquiring the specific system composition model from a domain composition model and requirements for the specific system in domain-specific Web services composition. This is referred to as the variability consolidation problem in this paper. To achieve this goal, we designed a language to describe domain properties for Web services composition. The basis of our approach is to transform the domain composition model and the requirements for the specific system into a mathematical optimization problem, which can be solved by existing algorithms. Thus, this method is fully automatic and not prone to human errors. Our preliminary experimental results show that our method is quite feasible for solving problems with real world sizes.
