Abstract

The introduction of software technology has dramatically increased the efficiency of completing tasks. Code reusability provides efficiency within the software engineering discipline. With the tumultuous increase in acceptance of service oriented architecture, and thus, a rise in the number of web services, skilled software developers spend a lot of time composing web service workflows, rather than creating innovative and efficient services. Hence, we put forward a technique of code reusability that utilizes heuristic based search methods to automate service workflow composition by weighting quality of service criteria by relevance and importance to the users. We implement a novel and heuristic-based graph creation and search algorithm where the heuristic function value is calculated through the uniform cost search based on each of the quality of service criteria specified by the user. Application of the proposed automated workflow composition algorithm is illustrated with success on an industry-grade service-oriented architecture problem.
