Abstract

The growth in the number of available software tools as Web services, local applications and functions libraries, made necessary the development of automatic ways to compose these tools in order to provide more complex functionalities. Workflows are one approach for organizing sets of activities in order to achieve a given goal. This project aims to develop workflows automatic composition and execution mechanisms considering the syntactic and semantics characteristics of activities' interfaces.
