Abstract

Along with a continuously growing number of Web services, how to locate appropriate Web services to complete the task of service composition is becoming more critical. Differing from most recent studies which mainly focus on functional and non-functional properties, we mine nuggets from the Historical Service-composition Dataset HSD, which carries related users' past experiences. In this paper, a graph mining based recommendation approach is presented to facilitate the process of service composition. In particular, we first extend the graph mining approach gSpan to recognise Frequently Used Web Services FUWS with their connecting structures from HSD. Then, according to the records in HSD, which share the same FUWSs with user's partially composed service, a bunch of Web services with higher probability is recommended automatically as candidates. Finally, the skyline approach is adopted for optimal composite service selection with consideration of overall quality of services QoS. Furthermore, experiments based on 1,530 real Web services demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.
