Abstract

The spreadsheet is a popular productivity tool. Recently, it has gained attention as a potential service integration environment targeted towards end-users. We discuss four possible ways of implementing web service composition in a spreadsheet environment, highlighting their significance and limitations. We, then, propose our approach which aims to address the need of service composition while maintaining all of the spreadsheet characteristics the users are familiar with. We briefly discuss the progress so far as well as the future plans.
