This paper describes a modeling of service composition manager based on TINA (Telecommunication Information Networking Architecture). The Service composition function is mainly motivated by the desire to easily generate new service using existing services from retailers or $3^{rd}$-party service providers. The TINA-C specification for the service composition does not include the detailed composition procedure and its object models. In this paper, we propose a model of components for the service composition, which adapts a static composition feature in a single provider domain. To validate the proposed modeling, we implemented prototype service composition function, which combines two multimedia services; a VOD service and a VCS service. As a result, we obtain the specification of the detailed composition architecture between a retailer domain and a $3^{rd}$-party service provider domain.

정보통신 기술의 발전으로 응용 서비스는 멀티미디어화 되어 가며, 짧은 라이프 싸이클을 보이고 있다. 통신망 사업자와 서비스 제공자는 신속한 서비스 제공과 통신망의 효율적인 유지보수를 위해 TMN (Telecommunication Management Network)과 개방형 정보통신망 (Open Networking Architecture, TINA)을 도입하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 추세에 따라 TINA-C에서 제안하는 소프트웨어 인프라 구조에서 개발된 개별 서비스를 통합하여 신규 서비스를 생성하는 기능 구조를 모델링하고 이를 구현하였다. TINA 규격에 따른 화상회의와 VOD 서비스를 대상으로 신규 비디오 프리젠테이션 서비스를 컴포지션 하였으며, 컴포지션 객체(CompPA, asCompUAP, CompUSM, SC)를 설계하였다.

A service composition has received much interest to provide users with the ad-hoc, seamless, and context-sensitive services dynamically composed from various networked services in context-aware computing environments. In this paper, with the purpose of guiding trends in the researches for dynamic service composition technologies, we investigate and analyze the major related works. For this, we separate semantic based composition from syntax based composition and then establish the comparison criteria by dividing the service composition processes into 3 steps：definition, construction, and execution.

Service oriented architecture (SOA) lends itself to model the application components to coarse-grained services in such a way that the composition of different services could be feasible. Service composition fulfills numerous service requirements by constructing composite applications with various services. As it is the case in many real-world applications, different users have diverse QoS demands issuing for composite applications. In this paper, we present a service composition framework for a typical service overlay network (SON) considering both multiple QoS constraints and load balancing factors. Moreover, a service selection algorithm based on niching technique and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed for the service composition problem. It supports optimization problems with multiple constraints and objective functions, whether linear or nonlinear. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm results in an acceptable level of efficiency regarding the service composition objective under different circumstances.

In this paper we designed a service composition architecture which enables the functional extension of existing service or the creation of new service by combining more than one service. The designed composition architecture is based on the service architecture of the TINA-C. It is designed by extending TINA information model and computational model. Composition related object, relations and interface between objects are defined in the information model and the computational model. And we tested the designed architecture by implementing two multimedia service and composition the services.

사용자의 서비스 요구시 사용자의 요구사항에 꼭 맞는 단일 서비스가 존재하지 않는다면, 여러 서비스를 조합할 필요성이 있다. 서비스 조합에 대한 연구 중 서비스 지향 아키텍처 기반의 서비스 조합 기술인 서비스 컴포넌트 아키텍처(Service Component Architecture) 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 이 표준은 시스템 설계 단계에서의 서비스 조합을 목표로 하고 있어, 동적 서비스 조합이 요구되는 유비쿼터스 환경에서는 활용되기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 서비스 컴포넌트 아키텍처를 확장하여 유비쿼터스 환경에서 동적 서비스 조합이 가능한 방법을 제시한다.

The service composition based on Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) can make us view various machines or its functionalities in the Web or Internet-of-Things environment as 'service', and efficiently create new value-added services that users want by compositing different services if there is no service to satisfy the client. The service composition problem with respect to behavioral descriptions deals with the automatic synthesis of a coordinator service that controls a set of services to reach a goal state. Despite its importance, however, solving the service composition problem with only partial observations remains to be doubly exponential in the number of variables in service descriptions, rendering any attempts to compute an exact solution for modest size impractical. Toward this challenge, in this paper, we propose novel approximation-based approaches using abstraction methods. We empirically validate that our proposals can solve realistic problems efficiently.

In mobile social network, it is a critical challenge to select an optimal set of devices to supply high quality service constantly under dynamic network topology and the limit of device capacity in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). In this paper, a multi-devices composition and maintenance problem is proposed with ubiquitous service model and network model. In addition, a multi-devices composition and maintenance approach with dynamic planning is proposed to deal with this problem, consisting of service discovery, service composition, service monitor and service recover. At last, the simulation is implemented with OPNET and MATLAB and the result shows this mechanism is better applied to support complex ubiquitous service.

Web Services have been utilized in a wide variety of applications and have turned into a key technology in developing business operations on the Web. Originally, Web Services can be exploited in an isolated form, however when no single Web Service can satisfy the functionality required by a user, there should be a possibility to compose existing services together in order to fulfill the user requirement. However, since the same service may be offered by different providers with different non-functional Quality of Service (QoS), the task of service selection for Web Service composition is becoming complicated. Also, as Web Services are inherently unreliable, how to deliver reliable Web Services composition over unreliable Web Services should be considered while composing Web Services. In this paper, we propose an approach on a QoS-aware Web Service selection for reliable Web Service composition. In our approach, we select and classify Web Services using Decision Tree based on QoS attributes provided by the client. Service classifier will improve selection of relevant Web Services early in the composition process and also provide flexibility to replace a failed Web Services with a redundant alternative Web Services, resulting in high availability and reliability of Web Service composition. We will provide an implementation of our proposed approach along with efficiency measurements through performance evaluation.

Previous QoS-aware service composition methods mainly focus on how to generate composite service with the optimal QoS efficiently for a single request. However, in the real application scenarios, there are multiple service requests and multiple service providers. It is more important to compose services with suboptimal QoS and maintain the load balance between services. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a service composition method, named as dynamically change and balancing composition method (DCBC). It assumes that the QoS of service is not static, and the services can adjust the value of QoS to gain more opportunities to be selected for composition. The method mainly includes two steps, which are the preprocessing step and the service selection step. In the preprocessing step, a backward global best QoS calculation is performed which regarding the static and dynamic QoS respectively; then guided by the global QoS, the feasible services can be selected efficiently in the service selection step. The experiments show that the DCBC method can not only improve the overall quality of composite services but also guarantee the fulfill ratio of requests and the load balance of services.
