ABSTRACT:
A method and system for forming service compositions to provide service components to business processes. Service components independently needed by each business process are identified. At least one of the service components is needed by at least two business processes. At least two different service components are needed by at least one business process. At least two service compositions are specified. Each service composition includes at least one service component. At least one service composition comprises at least two service components. An optimal subset of the service compositions is ascertained, such that the total cost of deploying the service compositions in the optimal subset to provide the service components independently needed by each business process does not exceed the total cost of deploying the service compositions in any other subset of the service compositions to provide the service components independently needed by each business process.
