A survey on bio-inspired algorithms for web service composition

Web service composition has become a promis- ing technology in a variety of e-science or e-business areas. There are a variety of models and methods to deal with this issue from dierent aspects. Bio-inspired algorithms are becoming main approaches and solutions. This paper reviews the current researches on web service composition based on bio-inspired algorithms, such as Ant Colony Opti- mization(ACO), Genetic Algorithm(GA), Evolutionary Al- gorithm(EA) and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO). By analyzing and investigating dierent approaches, this paper gives an overview about the researches on bio-inspired al- gorithm in web service composition and point out future directions.
