Abstract

A novel benchmark, WSBen, for testing Web services discovery and composition is presented. WSBen includes: (1) a collection of synthetic Web services (WSDL) files with diverse characteristics and sizes; (2) test discovery and composition queries and solutions; and (3) external files for statistical analysis and AI planners. Users can fine-tune the generated WSDL files using various parameters such as skewness or matching type. It is our hope that WSBen provides useful insights for researchers evaluating the performance of Web services discovery and composition algorithms and software
