System and method for orchestrating composite web services in constrained data flow environments

A computer-implemented method of orchestrating composite web services in a constrained data flow environment, said method comprising:

• inputting a composite web service specification into a build time module of a computer;
• partitioning said composite web service specification into multiple topologies using said computer, wherein each topology comprises a set of composite web service partitions that are communicatively connected with each other at runtime, and wherein each composite web service partition comprises a functionally complete composite web service;
• selecting a topology for deployment using a rule-based filtering mechanism using said computer, said selected topology adheres to all data flow constraints provided by component web service domains;
• deploying partitions of the selected topology within a corresponding component web service domain using said computer, and
• generating an additional set of constraints based on said composite web service partitions received in said runtime modules and the data flow constraints provided by a receiving component web service domain, using said computer.
