Towards Web Services Interaction Mining Architecture for E-Commerce Applications Analysis

Nowadays, Web service technology plays an increasing role in internet applications, in general, and e-commerce applications, in particular. In fact, service-oriented systems can be expected to grow larger in complexity. Such large systems demand for tools that allow for analyzing and monitoring of service-oriented systems in use. Our work attempts to draw the necessary architecture in order to analyze interactions between Web service consumer and provider. WSIM modelling architecture is built over three layers : Web service operations, interactions and workflows. The paper aim is to present WSIM modelling architecture and how it could be implemented to support existing Web service applications (e.g. e-commerce applications).
