Web service composition development is a complex and dynamic process. It is one of the challenges in distributed dynamic environments. Although, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) facilitates service composition process through standard protocols in searching and binding with web services. Yet composition in SOA paradigm faces many challenges. One of the main challenges is the environment in which composition services are developed. Nowadays the environment becomes more dynamic due to the increase in the number of web services that are frequently changing. Therefore, the need for self-adapted composition methods that acts according to environment changes is advocated. In this paper, we will study the existed researches that address the web service composition in a dynamic environment to state the art in this area and assist future research.
