Integrating planning and scheduling based on genetic algorithms to an workflow system

Workflow systems have been widely employed; however, the automatic generation of process models, specially applied in the Web Service domains is still an area to be explored. The Web services composition in Workflow is an emerging paradigm that allows the interaction both of internal applications and of applications that go beyond organizational boundaries. In this context, this paper presents an architecture based on the use of a genetic planner in order to obtain the automatic generation of models for Web Service Workflow. A simulation environment is also proposed by using scheduling techniques based on the use of genetic algorithms to select the most suitable process model.
