Abstract

Web services and composition of web services play an important role in building a workflow. This paper discusses the basics of a web service, service composition and methods used for service composition. It also discusses various proposals that were provided as solutions to the problems existing in web service composition. It also proposes future research directions that can efficiently tackle the issues of web service composition.
