Abstract

In order to satisfy and meet requirements of users who interact with Web services, it is often necessary to combine and reuse existing Web services to create new Web services. The invocation of such service may be affected by various unforeseen changes. In order to adapt the composite web service to user invocations, this latter has to be dynamically reconfigured. The aim of this paper is to present a survey of the most important works, which deal with Web services reconfiguration. A comparative study is also given in order to show strengths and weaknesses of each work.
