DYNAMIC SERVICE COMPOSITION: A PETRI-NET BASED APPROACH

Abstract

Dynamic service composition requires a formal description of the services such that an agent can process these descriptions and reason about them. The amount of detail needed for an agent to grasp the meaning of a service may lead to clumsy specification. Petri nets offer a visual modeling technique for processes, that offers a refinement mechanism. Through this, a specification can be inspected on the level of detail needed for a given objective. In this paper we introduce a Petri net based approach to capture the semantics of services by combining Petri nets ideas from the description logic area focusing on ontologies. The resulting framework can than be used by agents to plan about activities involving services.
