Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The service-oriented paradigm is emerging as a new approach to heterogeneous distributed software systems composed of services accessed locally or remotely by middleware technology. How to select the optimal composited service from a set of functionally equivalent services with different quality of service (QoS) attributes has become an active focus of research in the service community. However, existing middleware solutions or approaches are inefficient as they search all solution spaces. More importantly, they inherently neglect QoS uncertainty owing to the dynamic network environment. In this paper, based on a service composition middleware framework, we propose an efficient and reliable service selection approach that attempts to select the best reliable composited service by filtering low reliability services through the computation of QoS uncertainty. The approach first employs information theory and probability theory to abandon high-QoS-uncertainty services and downsize the solution space. A reliability fitness function is then designed to select the best reliable service for composited services. We experimented with real -world and synthetic datasets and compared our approach with other approaches. Our results show that our approach is not only fast, but also finds more reliable composited services. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
