Dynamic conversation logic selection method and system

Abstract

Method and system for dynamically selecting a conversation logic at run-time. First, a workflow/composite service engine maintains a repository that has at least one conversation logic. Each conversation logic may be associated to one or more services. At run-time, when the engine needs to execute a node in a work flow that has an unspecified service and an unspecified conversation logic, the engine sends a service selection query to an application (e.g., an e-services platform). Based on the service returned, the dynamic conversation logic selection mechanism selects an appropriate conversation logic from the repository. Entries in the conversation logic repository may be for the exclusive use of a given composite service or shared by two or more composite services.
