Abstract

One of the most challenging problems that web-service enabled e-marketplaces face is the lack of support for appropriate service request languages that retrieve and aggregate services relevant to a business problem. We present an architectural framework for web-service interaction based on planning and constraint satisfaction, and a webservice request language (WSRL) developed on the basis of this framework. This framework is capable of performing planning under uncertainty on the basis of refinement and revision as new service-related information is accumulated (via interaction withth e user or UDDI) and as execution circumstances necessitate change.
