Abstract

Automatic Service Composition (ASC) supports creation of a new value-added composite service from the existing services with automatic manner. There are two approaches, machine-oriented and human-oriented, for the composer. In the machine-oriented composer, every composition step is managed by the composer mainly. However, there are many possibilities of interventions by users for better composition performance. In this paper, design of user interface for the machine-oriented ASC based on our new composition architecture is suggested. Possible interactions at the all the stages of service composition are analyzed on the new architecture. Ontologies for ASC UI, visual component, data, and workflow are designed. The Selector UI is demonstrated as an example of UI for ASC, and whole composition scenario is illustrated. The design paradigm of ASC UI presented in the paper can be applied to human-oriented composition too.
