Abstract

With the rapid growth of functionally identical web services , Quality of Service (QoS) plays vital role for deciding the most suitable services for consumers . Although, QoS for web services has gained extensive attention in the literature, most of the existing efforts are unable to consider the multiperspective QoS of web services. Unlike conventional software paradigms, web services are provided, developed and used by different users such as provider, consumer and broker. As a result, QoS requirements vary from user to user. Existing researches are unable to provide standard solution, which can deal with what service providers, consumers and broker should expose in service description as QoS parameters . Therefore, in this book chapter, a multiperspective PCB-QoS classification of non-functional parameters along with new QoS parameters, i.e. access rate and Overall Aggregated Effective Quality of Service (OAEQoS) is presented. Due to the extensible nature of PCB-QoS classification , it can be extended to accommodate more number of QoS parameters. This QoS classification is based on the idea of partitioning the generic QoS parameters according to multi-user’s perspective. An Average Real Value Sum Method (ARSM) based on default priority constraints is also proposed for ranking of web services that uses the presented QoS classification. With the help of proposed approach, the user can specify the service requirements without taking the hurdle of specifying the weights for each QoS parameter during web service operations. It also prevents the services from malicious service provider to publish the incorrect and inaccurate QoS information. Experimental evaluation shows the effectiveness of proposed approach over the existing approach.
