Abstract

Hybrid QoS model which consists of certain and uncertain expressions has strong power of semantic QoS description. For solving the hybrid QoS-aware semantic web service composition problem, this paper presents an Uncertain Multi-attribute decision making based Composition algorithm (UMC). The UMC includes two parts. First, UMC-Core can be used to synthetically evaluate the hybrid service quality information. Second, UMC-DH (Distributed and Heuristic framework for UMC) aims at enhancing the run-time performance of UMC when the problem space increases. The simulation results show that the UMC has lower execution cost, higher approximation ratio and success ratio than other similar approaches.
