Web Service Programs Described in a Rule-Based Language

This paper proposes a software architecture for Web service programs. Rule-based languages allow programs to be easily described at a high and abstract level, however, they suffer from long execution times. A state transition model, one of a standard model for developing telecommunication services programs, can be used to simply describe Web services. To reduce the complexity of development, this paper proposes a method for describing service programs using a rule-based language. In this paper the easy-of-use of this method for novice users is tested using remote control service which is one of Web services.
