The research community of Web, presently is working to generate its next generation i.e. Semantic Web. They are moving towards automation of the retrieval and processing of web contents. The systems based on the semantic web require performing various processes like discovery, selection, composition, orchestration, monitoring etc. on services provided by it for satisfying client needs. In this paper, we will be concentrating on semantic web service composition techniques. The work deals with exploring different type of composition techniques, categorization of them, and comparing them based on some of their properties like process, reasoners & languages involved, interface etc. Copyright © 2008 by the IETE.
