Abstract

This paper aims to address the issue of consistency and satisfaction of composite services with the presence of temporal constraints. These constraints may cause conflict between services and affect the estimation over composition requirements. Existing verification approaches have not adequately addressed this issue. Therefore, this paper contributes to the verification method with temporal consistency checking and temporal satisfaction estimation. A set of checking rules and estimation formulae are presented according to workflow patterns and temporal dependencies. The method will lead to three major outcomes; consistent with satisfactory combination, consistent with unsatisfactory combination and inconsistent with unsatisfactory combination.
