An automatic semantic web service composition approach based on PDDL

Abstract

In this paper, against the problem of composing Semantic Web Services using AI planner, we proposed an algorithm that translates OWL-S process models to the PDDL actions. After this work, we can choose the most suitable AI planner to compose Web services. The algorithm presented in this paper is an attempted and exploratory work, so there IS some shortage in it. The reality that PDDL does not support iteration construct does restrict the ability of express, while some planners have be restricted by this behavior, such as HTN. We will explore PDDL to support this function, either by existing constructs or by developing new construct. © 2010 IEEE.
