In this thesis, some enhancements to an existing automatic web service composition and execution system are described which provide a practical significance to the existing framework with scalability, i.e. the ability to operate on large service sets in reasonable time. In addition, the service storage mechanism utilized in the enhanced system presents an effective method to maintain large service sets. The described enhanced system provides scalability by implementing a pre-processing phase that extracts service chains and problem initial and goal state dependencies from service descriptions. The service storage mechanism is used to store this extracted information and descriptions of available services. The extracted information is used in a forward chaining algorithm which selects the potentially useful services for a given composition problem and eliminates the irrelevant ones according to the given problem initial and goal states. Only the selected services are used during the AI planning and execution phases which generate the composition and execute the services respectively.
