Abstract

In web service area, which is growing fast recently, because service discovery is restricted only by functional requirement, the optimal web service selection method considering quality, a non-functional element, is regarded as important. In this research, we suggested Web Service Quality Broker Architecture including Quality Broker, which provides quality negotiation environment, and proposed web service selection method, which helps service requester find the service provider which gives the maximum benefit and bind that service dynamically. We described the internal negotiation procedure for quality attributes of user’s point of view with Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) and linear programming.
