A Satisfaction Driven Approach for the Composition of Interactive Web Services

The paradigmatic shift from function-oriented Web services to interactive Web services(IWSs) addresses lots of issues such as repetitious development for user interface and tiresome understanding of underlying service operations. However, the composition of existing IWSs to create value-added ones is still a prominent problem. Considering the special interactive characteristics of IWSs, current approaches to compose function-oriented services are inappropriate. This paper proposes a novel user satisfaction model to evaluate the interactive quality of a composite IWS completely. Based on the satisfaction model, an effective satisfaction-driven approach is also developed for service selection in IWSs composition, which can meet diverse interactive requirements of users.
