Run Time Fault Detection System for Web Service Composition and Execution

Composite web services are a group of web services which together offer service functionality. Faults can occur during composition or execution of any of the services that make up the composite services. Run-time monitoring of web service execution enables real-time detection of faults concurrent with the service execution. This paper extends our previous work on fault detection of single web services to detect faults in composite web services. Fault handler has been proposed to detect faults during composition of web services for static, semi dynamic and dynamic compositions. Policies have been used to denote the intended run-time behavior of web services. Web service execution has been monitored against these policies to detect run-time faults. The proposed work has been tested using a sample web service application and the results are presented
