A Dynamic Execution Path Selection Approach for Composite Services in MANETs

Service composition is a hot research topic in Web Service and a particularly important way to exhibit the advantages of nodes´ cooperation in MANETs. Service execution is critical for service composition in MANETs, but there is less research focusing on this topic. In this paper, we explore the problem of service execution path selection approach for composite service in MANETs. Then we propose a heuristic and dynamic approach for service execution path selection. The simulation results show that the execution path selection approach we propose is much more efficient than the existing one and it is more close to the theoretical optimal execution path selection approach.
