Re: Planning under Description Logic ?--an obstacle towards WSAC

If the resulting plan is in partial ordering manner,
it seems that sometimes we can directly use the constructs in OWL-S
process model to express the plan. For example:
OperationB<OperationA,
OperationC<OperationA,
OperationD<OperationB,
OperationD<OperationC,
OperationE<OperationC

Is there a need to make OWL-S support this feature?
If so, the current Qos reduction algorithm for composite web service[1] 
seems infeasible to this situation and needs to be extended.
