Abstract

We suggest that the composition of Web services is an activity that needs to be managed, and that Web Service CompositionManagement is distinct from the management of individual Webservices. We describe a set of requirements to help make thisdistinction. The four main groups of these requirements are; servicediscovery, service selection and contract formation, compositionverification, composition management. Then, we discuss architecturalalternatives (centralized, federated, and peer-to-peer) for a Web service composition management framework.
