Abstract
The ability to build new (complex) services by composing existing services is one of the key benefits of the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm. Existing approaches to automate composition requires pre-planning or prediction of the number of required services, making them unsuitable in dynamic composition scenarios. To address this gap, we present a consistency-based service composition approach, where composition problems are modeled in a generative constraint-based formalism. We illustrate how the configuration of service processes differs from established constraint-based configuration techniques and develop an algorithm to synthesis valid service process compositions. We also show that our technique scales well to non-trivial problems.
