Virtual enterprise synthesis by web services composition with HTN-like parsing algorithm (WIP)

The rapidly changing business environment dictates the need for enterprises to change their structures, processes and systems with the same speed in order to save clients and to remain competitive and compliant to the world around. The virtual enterprises provide such opportunity. Existence of a large number of various services in the Cloud does potentially possible both fast changing of the enterprise, and assembly of the new enterprises of atomic services. Automated planning algorithms are important part of such synthesis. In this paper, we suggest to apply the theory of the formal grammar and the appropriate procedures as means of automated planning support for web services composition.
