Software engineering approach is adopted to develop composite service systematically. Composition development process involves modelling, discovering & binding, publishing and invoking a composite service. This paper aims to make the composition development process clear by classifying the literature on web services composition into the phases of composition development process. As a result of this, the definition, requirements, approaches, techniques and evaluation of an end-to-end web services composition development process is made clear. The current research area which requires a lot of attention is identified and discussed at the end to further extend the topic. %K Service Composition %K Web Services Composition %K SOA %K Service Design %K Composition Approaches %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.se.20120205.03.html
