IntroductionDistributed component technologies such as CORBA and Web Service bring a new vision of a future network environment where a large number of components representing software services, devices, or resources are distributed and transparently accessible. In such an environment, a new application may be dynamically and autonomously composed from a set of components when a user queries for an application. This concept of composing complex services (or applications) on the fly from primitive components is called dynamic service composition. The dynamic service composition has the potential to realize flexible and adaptable applications by properly selecting and combining components based on the user request and context. The dynamic service composition may also elicit a number of useful applications that are not envisioned at the design time. Therefore, the dynamic service composition is suitable for end-user applications in ubiquitous, mobile environments where available components are dynamic and expected users may vary.
