Impacts of Various Network Properties on the Performance of Web Service Composition

摘要

This paper discusses various properties in web service networks and analyzes the impact of them on the performance of web service composition. Mainly six factors characterize web service networks. They are the number of web services, the number of distinct parameters, the number of input parameters per web service, the number of output parameters per web service, the number of initial parameters and the number of goal parameters. Among these six factors, the relationship between two factors of the number of web services and the number of distinct parameters with respect to the solution time and the web service composition solution is discussed in detail in this paper.
