QoS-based Service Selection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

As web services have become widespread, it is essential to ensure not only a service can provide the expected function (e.g., output) but also it can provide it in a “good” way. QoS (Quality of Service) refers to such non-functional aspects of services, including cost, response time, availability, reputation, and so on. QoS is significant for providers to differentiate their services from other functionally-similar services. On the other hand, it is necessary for clients, composers or brokers to assess services in terms of QoS and examine which services they should use. It is often necessary to select multiple services to compose a meaningful workflow or composite service, while balancing different QoS criteria according to preferences and constraints. This chapter introduces foundations for QoS modeling and QoS-based service selection. The foundations have been commonly discussed in recent research literatures, and can work as a basis to deal with specific foundations and to investigate further complex situations and attractive algorithms .
