Abstract :
In this paper, we present the implementation, evaluation, and application of our OWL-S service composition planner OWLS-XPlan. Medical services described in OWL-S 1.1 and ontologies are converted to initial state and goal descriptions in PDDL 2.1, which are then used by the fast heuristic FF planner XPlan for generating an execution complete composition plan. Results of experimental evaluation of XPlan shows its top performance compared with other selected AI planners. OWLS-XPlan is used in an agent based mobile e-Health system for emergency medical assistance planning tasks
