HarmonICS - a Tool for Composing Medical Services ?

Abstract

Abstract. The paper presents the tool HarmonICS designed for automated composition of medical services and implementing our approach to description and composition of web services. HarmonICS enables arranging sequences of services to satisfy a user’s request specified by a query. The query language is rich enough to express requirements on the timing and the ordering of services used. 1 Introduction and Related Work We present a new tool for automated composition of web services (WS) related to the medical domain. The tool implements our original approach [7] to WS composition, based on introducing a uniform semantic description of services, an object model for the problem, and applying a multi-phase composition supported by model checking
