| Abstract | The growth and expansion of the World Wide Web (WWW) precipitated a large number of new technologies developed for supporting information exchange and communication. One of the technologies is the Web services, which are designed to enable the invocation of programs over the Web, without the need to know implementation details of them. Although many related technologies including WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI were designed to support Web services usage, the discovery, execution, and composition of suitable Web services for a particular client goal must be done manually. Semantic Web Services is a new approach which tries to enable automated Web service discovery, execution, composition, and interoperation. 'vVeb services discovery and composition enabled business process management by dynamical locating and composing Web services at runtime in order to achieve higher flexibility and better maintainability. Currently there are many different approaches to Semantic Web Services discovery and composition, but there are still limitations in the expression of Web services information. The limitations prevent them from solving some difficult problems which need many constraints and complex inference capabilities. In this research, we present a framework for Web services discovery and composition. The proposed framework uses Web Service modeling Ontology (WSMO) to be a description language for ontologies, Web services, goals, and mediators. By employment of XML Declarative Description (XDD)'s language expressiveness and inference ability, the framework can infer knowledge from the WSMO description. The use of XDD leads to effectiveness in selecting appropriate Web services based on a service requester's preferences. The output of the framework is executable Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) processes that act like new Web services with all functions from the composed Web services |
