Reflective approach to improve self-adaptation of Web service compositions with autonomic middleware

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to propose an approach for the self-adaptation of the Web composition called SAMIWA. The SAMIWA framework helps users during the search, invocation and composition of the appropriate Web service. Design/methodology/approach The authors’ approach allows expressing requirements by taking into account potential users’ context in addition to the functional one. Findings In this paper, the authors introduce a new context-aware approach that provides a dynamic adaptation of service compositions. Originality/value The author has implemented a Web application that enables selection and composition of the most appropriate composite service.
