  1. Haley: An End-to-End, Scalable Web Service Composition Tool 17th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW08)Developers Track, April 23, 2008 Haibo Zhao, Prashant Doshi LSDIS Lab., The University of Georgia

  2. Outline • Introduction and Motivation (Why Haley?) • Haley Features in Brief (What does Haley do?) • Haley Architecture and Modules (How it works?) • Scenario and Demo (How it can be used?) • Discussions and Future work (How good/bad it is?)

  3. Introduction: Web service composition Value-added Web service composition into BPEL processes Individual Web services

  4. Motivation • Existing approaches • Manual approach (BPEL coding by hand) • Very tedious and error-prone • Quickly becomes unmanageable • Automated approaches (Astro, Synthy) • Scalability • Major limitation of existing automated approaches due to the inherent complexity of planning algorithms • Quality of the composition • Optimize QoS parameters • Minimize invocation cost, response time, … • Maximize reliability, ...

  5. What does Haley do? Haley aims to provide an end-to-end, scalable and automated tool suite to compose Web services into BPEL processes* • Automation • Haley takes functional descriptions (WSDL/SAWSDL) and non-functional descriptions (WS-agreement) of component Web services to automatically compose BPEL processes • Scalability • Haley utilizes a hierarchy modeler to model the hierarchy usually found in business processes • Easy-to-use • Intuitive UI (EMF, GMF) that hides the complexity of AI planning • Avoid tedious and error-prone BPEL coding *Haley: A Hierarchical Framework for Logical Composition of Web Services, Haibo Zhao, Prashant Doshi, IEEE International Conference on Web Services, Research Track, ICWS07, Salt Lake City, Utah

  6. Features of Haley • Use Web services described in WSDL and SAWSDL • Browse functionality of Web service with SAWSDL Viewer • Model process hierarchy • Specify initial state and business goals of processes • AI-planning based flow generation using Prolog • Programmatically generate BPEL code using ActiveBpel API • Graphically view BPEL code in Eclipse

  9. Demo • Importing candidate Web services • specifying hierarchy • specifying desired properties of the composition • generating planning problem file • generating plan • generating BPEL file

  10. DEMO

  11. Discussion and Future Work • Significance of Haley • An easy-to-use, end-to-end and practical tool • An automated WS composition tool hiding the complexity of AI planning and BPEL from designers • Scalable • Limitations • Current version focuses on control flow • No execution engine embedded • Future work • Consider data mediation • Integrate service discovery • Continue to improve the usability and reliability
