Abstract
This paper presents a pattern-based approach to facilitating the composition of Web services, which enables business users to use composite services more effectively. With the support of patterns, business users can construct applications with larger-granularity components, amend and customize their own patterns to meet personalized requirements. The approach is illustrated with a case study. We suggest the patterns be used during the orchestration stage in a service composition process. By doing so, the composition logic built into the pattern can be made available to other users.
