Quality of service (QoS) is a major concern in the design and management of a composite service. In this paper, a systematic approach is proposed to calculate QoS for composite services with complex structures, taking into consideration of the probability and conditions of each execution path. Four types of basic composition patterns for composite services are discussed: sequential, parallel, loop,...
Trust and reputation of web services is usually established based on the historical information about past transactions or rating scores collected over a period of time. However, when a new web service joins a community, normally there is not much information to be relied on to evaluate its initial reputation. Therefore trust bootstrapping, the technique to establish trust for a web service based...
In this paper, a QoS Distribution estimation Tool (QoSDIST) is developed to estimate the QoS distributions for service compositions. QoSDIST can generate QoS probability distributions for component web services. When estimating the QoS probability distribution for a service composition, QoSDIST does not put any constraints on the representation of the QoSs of component web services, i.e., the QoS...
In this paper, we propose an approach to model the probability density function (PDF) of the QoS of a web service (QoWS) based on non-parametric statistical method. Mathematical formulas are designed to calculate the QoS distributions for service compositions (QoCS). Experiment has been done to show that the proposed QoWS distribution modeling approach is much more accurate than exiting methods. An...
A composite service can be constructed with the arbitrary combination of sequential, parallel, loop, and conditional structures. In this paper, we propose a general solution to calculate the QoS for composite services with complex structures. We also show QoS-based service selection can be conducted based on the proposed QoS calculation method. An application example is given to show the effectiveness...
Trust and reputation for web services emerges as an important research issue in web service selection. Current web service trust models either do not integrate different important sources of trust (subjective and objective for example), or do not focus on satisfying different user's requirements about different quality of service (QoS) attributes such as performance, availability etc. In this paper,...
The quality of service (QoS) is a major concern in the design and management of Web service composition. Existing methods for QoS calculation either do not take the probability of path execution into consideration when QoSs are provided for different execution paths, or do not take different execution paths into consideration when a single integrated QoS is provided for the whole composition. In this...
The adoption of Web service technologies in dynamic business applications such as on-demanding computing or highly reconfigurable virtual enterprises advocates for methods and tools for describing and managing non-functional aspects of services, e.g., the reliability, accessibility and accuracy of a service. These properties are referred as quality of service (QoS). Failing to accurately specify and...
