QSCAS: QoS Aware Web Service Composition Algorithms with Stochastic Parameters

摘要

In recent times, automated business processes and web service technologies have become popular and ubiquitous for catering to diverse user needs. While providing a service, the service providers are typically expected to furnish promised QoS values for the services they deliver. However, when the services are physically deployed and invoked during a query resolution, these parameter values vary largely depending on different factors like network load, number of applications running in the server etc. In this work, we present a stochastic model of the web service composition problem. Experimental results on Web Service Challenge (WSC) benchmarks show the efficiency of our proposed mechanism.
