Abstract

Many approaches are available for finding the reliability of service-oriented architecture (SOA). Here some mathematical works are used to estimate the system reliability. But in present, reliability is real time issue. So, the estimation of system reliability is a very difficult task. For this we have to discuss soft computing technique that is multi-criteria decision making method. This approach is used to provide the rank for each alternative service to select the best service for estimation. In this paper, we have used fuzzy multicriteria analysis with similarity based approach for reliability estimation. Also, we propose some factors that affect the SOA reliability. These factors work as criterion and we have taken three services as alternative.
