What is the project about?

The project is about testing of various automated web service composition algorithms and the corresponding web serviece challenge generation problems. Its datasets were used in serveral publications. We are extending this project with contraints and effects from the recent research, a working service respository, and making the generator a service itself.

Originally, the project came as a fruit from multiple organization solving web service composition challenges (WSC) implementing planning graph web services composition algorithms for comparative studies. That included studies and comparison of the performance of existing/contributed algorithms with planning graph and served as an experimental reference implementatio framework to improve planning graph algorithms.

Instructions

Eclipse

• Clone and import it to Eclipse and use Existing Projects into Workspace and then configure the build path and add required jars to the class path. de.vs.unikassel.genrator.gui.GeneratorGUI is the Java class that instantiates the GUI for WSC-Gen.

Branches

• Active Branches
• [temp] -- this branch currently provides a manual hardcoded extension to the WSC-Generator in terms of extending the SLA's to include web service contraints and their effects for the recent work of Touraj Laleh.
• [Datasets] -- this branch extends the WSC-Gen by providing updates to bring it up to recent JDK version, GUI modifications (not significant), additional toggle for the web services to be Context-Aware and related classes for a GIPSY Service by SOEN487 students.

Legacy README

What was the original project about?

The project was originally about implementing planning graph web services composition algorithm on the platform provided by Web Service Challenge 09. Also, the project aim to study and compare the performence of existing algorithms with planning graph and serve as an experiment basis to improve planning graph algorithm.
