The Differential Evolution Method for Constraint Web Service Composition Based on Fuzzy Petri Net

For independent global constraints Web services composition problem, it is difficult to analyze the optimal composition plan. The study presents an optimization method of Web service composition with constraint using Fuzzy Petri Net (FPN) and Differential Evolution (DE), which can transforms solving the optimal service composition problem into locating the largest trust value of legal firing sequences in the FPN model. Then we use the DE algorithm to locate the optimal legal sequences in order to obtain the optimal Web service composition. The experimental results show that the method is effective.
