UML Based Modeling of Web Service Composition - A Survey

Web service composition is an emerging trend in the field of service oriented architecture, where a new Web service is developed using existing Web services. Developing a composite Web service is a complex task. There are a number of reported techniques for modeling Web service compositions to specify the exact requirements, identify errors, and eliminate the conflicts in the development of a composite Web service at design level. In this paper, we study and classify various UML based approaches for modeling web service compositions. We also present a detailed analysis of all such approaches.
