Abstract

End-user-programmable business-level services composition is an effective way to build virtual organizations of individual applications in a just-intime manner. Challenging issues include how to model business-level services so that the end users can understand and compose them; how to associate businesslevel services to underlying Web services. This paper presents a service virtualization approach called VINCA Virualization to supporting the abstraction, transformation, binding and execution of Web services by end users. Four key mechanisms of VINCA Virualization namely semantics annotation, services aggregation, virtualization operation and services convergence are discussed in details. VINCA Virualization has been implemented and its application in a real-world project is illustrated. The paper concludes with a comparative study with other related works.
