Abstract

Quality of Service (QoS) is a major concern in the design and management of a composite service. QoS analysis becomes increasingly challenging and important when complex and mission critical applications are built upon services with different QoS. Thus solid models and methods to support for QoS predication in service composition become crucial and will lay a foundation for further analysis of complexity and reliability in developing service oriented distributed applications. In this chapter, we introduce a framework for QoS aggregation in service composition. The QoS of the component services can be single values, discrete values with frequencies, or probability distributions. Experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the introduced method.

Notes

  1. 1.

    \(\delta (x)\) is the Dirac delta function. \(\delta (x)=+\infty \) when \(x=0\) and \(\delta (x)=0\) when \(x\ne 0\).

  2. 2.

    The start point of a Sequential Pattern is the foremost vertex; of a Parallel Pattern is the vertex from which all the branches split; of a Loop Pattern is the entry point of the loop.

  3. 3.

    These distributions are generated manually.
