Abstract
Web service selection is an indispensable process for web service composition. However it became a difficult task as many web services are increased on the web and mostly they offer similar functionalities, which service will be the best. User preferences are the key to retain only the best services for the composition. In this paper, we have proposed a web service composition model based on user preferences. To improve the process of web service composition we propose a case-based planning approach with user preferences which uses successful experiences in past to solve similar problems. In this paper we integrate user preferences in the phase of selection, adaptation and planning. Our main contributions are a new method of case retrieval, an extended algorithm of adaptation and planning with user preferences. Results obtained offer more than a solution to the user and taking both functional and non-functional requirements.
