Abstract

Web Service Composition (WSC) aims at facilitating the use of multiple Web Services for solving a given task. Automatic WSC is particularly focused on automating the composition process following specifications of involved actors. There are many initiatives developed in this direction, but most of them stop at describing the process of building the composition, while some also study the coordination of the execution. However, research of specific solutions in cases of failure of services is typically not integrated with composition algorithms and mostly relies on costly additional measures. Fault tolerance is important for developers relying on the compositions, since their applications are rarely for transient usage, requiring high availability over time. Naively re-computing the compositions from scratch can be a waste of resources for the composition engine. In this paper, we propose addressing web service faults by preparing backup compositions as part of a fallback mechanism, which efficiently integrates with the base composition algorithm.
