A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. Web services provide a standard means of interoperating between different software applications, running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks [1]. One of the main advantages of the usage of web services is its ability to integrate with the other services through web service composition and realize the required functionality. This paper presents a new paradigm of dynamic web services composition using network analysis paired with backtracking in the perspective of tour planner where booking for flight, car, hotel room, scenic spots, etc are to be done. An algorithm called “Zeittafel” for the selection and scheduling of services that are to be composed is also presented.

Web services have emerged as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. The main advantage of Web services composition is the possibility of creating value-added services by combining existing ones to achieve customized tasks. How to combine these services efficiently into an arrangement that is both functionally sound and architecturally realizable is a very challenging topic that has founded a significant research area within computer science. A great deal of recent Web-related research has concentrated on dynamic Web service composition. Most of proposed models for dynamic composition use semantic descriptions of Web services through the construction of domain ontology. In this paper, we present our approach to dynamically produce composite services. It is based on the use of two Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques: Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and AI planning. Our motivating scenario concerns a national system for the monitoring of childhood immunization.

Lots of Web Services are available which differ in their QoS values but can perform a similar task. Discovery mechanism selects the best Web Service according to their QoS values and functional attributes. Cases arise, where the discovery mechanism fails, as a user’s complex query cannot be satisfied by a single Web Service. This can be solved by Web Service composition where multiple Web Services are combined to give a composite Web Service which meet user’s complex query. Our work is mainly focused on composition of Web Services that efficiently meets the user’s query. Different algorithms have been discussed and used by different researchers in this field. One of the most blooming topics is the use of evolutionary algorithms in optimization problems. In our work, we have chosen Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm approach to discover the best efficient composition. Then, Weight Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm is used to improve the results which were found to be quite satisfying and efficient.

Web services are changing software development thanks to their loosely coupled nature and simple adoption. They can be easily composed to create new more powerful services, allowing for large programming systems. Verification and validation techniques try to find defects in a program to minimize losses that its malfunction could cause. Although many different approaches have been developed for “traditional” program testing, none of them have proven definitive. The problem is even more challenging for new paradigms like web services and web service compositions, because of their dynamic nature and uncommon web service-specific instructions. This chapter surveys the different approaches to web service and web service composition verification and validation, paying special attention to automation. When no tools are available for a given technique, academic efforts are discussed, and challenges are presented.
