Based on the finite state machine (FSM) model, a method for determining three kinds of compatibility between two interacting Web services from the perspective of whole service composition is proposed. A method for determining adaptability between two incompatible Web services is also proposed by analyzing adaptability of behavioral path pairs between them. The adaptor model of two adaptable Web services is generated by merging the sub-adaptor models of their behavioral path pairs and automatically mapped into executable BPEL codes. Feasibility and validity of the proposed approach is verified by a case analysis.
