Abstract

With the increasing adoption of Web services, designing novel approaches for recommending relevant Web services has become of paramount importance especially to support many practical applications such as Web services composition. In this paper, a survey aiming at encompassing the state-of-the-art of interactive Web services composition recommendation approaches is presented. Both Web services composition and recommender systems concepts are introduced and their particular challenges are also discussed. Moreover, the need of using recommendation techniques to support Web services composition is also highlighted. The most relevant approaches dedicated to address this need are presented, categorized and compared.
