  1. ICWS 2006 Incheon Paik, University of Aizu Daisuke Maruyama, University of Aizu Michael N. Huhns, University of South Carolina A Framework for Intelligent Web Services: Combined HTN and CSP Approach Presented by: Jingshan Huang Computer Science and Engineering Dept. University of South Carolina ICWS 2006, Chicago

  2. Motivation • Solving real-life problems requires a set of appropriate services to be (1) composed via planning, (2) scheduled, and (3) executed. • HTN (Hierarchical Task Network) : Planning • CSP (Constraint Satisfaction Problem) : Scheduling • Problems of HTN-Only system • Cannot satisfy scheduling efficiently • Difficulty in finding an autonomous solution • Suggest a Novel WS Composition Engine: the HTN-CSP combined system ICWS 2006, Chicago

  3. Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) Planning • To produce a sequence of actions by task decomposition from large tasks • Similar to classical AI planning • Can produce plans to reach a final goal, but it is not suitable for scheduling • We chose SHOP2 as our basic planner ICWS 2006, Chicago

  4. Planning Domain Example : Method (transport ?p) task: : compound task (at ?p ?x) (destination ?p ?y) (available-truck ?t) preconditions: : primitive task : state subtasks: (dispatch ?t ?x) (!load ?t ?p) (!move ?t ?x ?y) (return ?t ?y) (dispatch ?t ?x) (return ?t ?y) task: task: subtasks: subtasks: (!reserve ?t) (!move ?t home ?x) (!move ?t ?x home) (!free ?t) ICWS 2006, Chicago

  6. Web Services Hotel Reservation WS Train Timetable WS Airplane Timetable WS … HTN-Only System Framework I'd like to make a trip next week.I want to departAizu-wakamatsu at 14:00 and arrive at San-Francisco. plan Departure Location = Aizuwakamatsu Departure Time = 14:00 Departure Date = Feb. 21, 2006 Arrival Location = San-Francisco inputdata HTN Planner Input Domain Analyzer Web Service Executor planning problem ICWS 2006, Chicago

Web Services Hotel Reservation WS Train Timetable WS Airplane Timetable WS … HTN-Only System Framework (!travel-by-train JR-Banetsu-West-Line aizu-wakamatsu _1413 _20060221 koriyama _1513 _ 20060221) (!travel-by-train Tsubasa-186 koriyama _1525 _ 20060221 tokyo _1648 _ 20060221) (!travel-by-train Narita-Express-37 tokyo _1703 _ 20060221 narita _1757 _ 20060221) (!travel-by-airplane ANA-B2 narita _2000 _ 20060221 san-francisco _1100 _ 20060221) plan inputdata HTN Planner Input Domain Analyzer Web Service Executor planning problem ICWS 2006, Chicago

  10. Problems with an HTN-Only System • Web service composition by a planner has limitations: • Inefficient for autonomous finding solution in planning • Not good for dealing user’s various requests • Weak in maintenance • Not efficient for scheduling ICWS 2006, Chicago

  14. Performance Comparison Scenario ICWS 2006, Chicago

  15. Advantages of the HTN-CSP Combined System • Development Efficiency • Scheduling is already integrated • Flexibility • HTN-CSP combined system: • Can represent complex problems more easily • HTN-only system: • Might produce scenarios that are hard to solve • Extensibility • HTN-CSP combined system: • Features can be added easily • Many algorithms for solving CSPs available • HTN-only system: • To add new features, the planning domain must be rewritten in many cases ICWS 2006, Chicago

  16. Conclusion and Future Work • Suggested a combined HTN-CSP architecture for automatic Web service composition • Efficient for planning and scheduling • Future work • Automating HTN – CSP encoding • Fully automated problem solving (service composition) in a Semantic Web environment using this framework ICWS 2006, Chicago
