Applying AI Planning to Semantic Web Services for Workflow Generation Semantic Web Services (SWS) intend to enhance
interoperability and encapsulate domain knowledge
via semantic descriptions. This paper claims that
service composition in a service-oriented computing
paradigm is an AI planning problem. We present the
Event Calculus (EC) - a well-known action theory, and
further discuss the mechanisms of using the formalism
for representing and reasoning service capabilities. We
describe an architecture for automatic workflow
generation in which an EC-based planner builds
workflows by reasoning against distributed pools of
SWS. Semantic Web Services (SWS) intend to enhanceinteroperability and encapsulate domain knowledgevia semantic descriptions.
