QoS-based web service description and discovery

Abstract

The success of the /Web Service/ (WS) paradigm has led to a proliferation of available WSs. As these WSs are advertised in registries, they have to be discovered based on user needs. However, these registries rely on the current WS technology stack that uses /WSDL/ and /UDDI/ for WS description and discovery. Unfortunately, these two languages rely on syntactic descriptions of WS functional and non-functional attributes. This situation creates two problems. Firstly, syntactic discovery efforts return inaccurate results. Secondly, no means are provided in order to select among multiple WSs that perform the same function. The first problem has been solved by combining /Semantic Web/ (SW) and WS technologies. The second problem can be solved by taking into account a big subset of all non-functional properties of WSs, which is called /Quality of Service/ (QoS). QoS is closely related with the performance of a WS so it has a substantial impact on user's expectations from a WS and can be use ...
