Automated service composition is an important approach to automatically aggregate existing functionality. While different planning algorithms are applied in this area, heuristic search is currently not used. Lacking features like the creation of compositions with parallel or alternative control flow are preventing its application. The prospect of using heuristic search for composition with quality of service properties motivated the extension of existing heuristic search algorithms.
In this paper we present a heuristic search algorithm for automated service composition. Based on the requirements for automated service composition, shortcomings of existing algorithms are identified, and solutions for them presented.
