Item Semantic web service selection based on service provider's business offerings(2009) D’Mello, D.A.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.Semantic Web service discovery finds a match between the service requirement and service advertisements based on the semantic descriptions. The matchmaking mechanism might find semantically similar Web services having same matching score. In this paper, the authors propose the semantic Web service selection mechanism which distinguishes semantically similar Web services based on the Quality of Service (QoS) and Business Offerings (BO). To realize the semantic Web service discovery and selection (ranking), we propose the semantic broker based Web service architecture which recommends the best match for the requester based on the requested functionality, quality and business offerings. The authors design the semantic broker which facilitates the provider to advertise the service by creating OWL-S service profile consisting information related to functionality, quality and business offerings. After the service advertisement, the broker computes and records matchmaking information to improve the performance (service query time) of discovery and selection process. The broker also reads requirements from the requester and finds the best (profitable) Web service by matching and ranking the advertised services based on the functionality, capability, quality and business offering.Item Dynamic selection mechanism for quality of service aware web services(2010) D’Mello, D.A.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.A web service is an interface of the software component that can be accessed by standard Internet protocols. The web service technology enables an application to application communication and interoperability. The increasing number of web service providers throughout the globe have produced numerous web services providing the same or similar functionality. This necessitates the use of tools and techniques to search the suitable services available over the Web. UDDI (universal description, discovery and integration) is the first initiative to find the suitable web services based on the requester's functional demands. However, the requester's requirements may also include non-functional aspects like quality of service (QoS). In this paper, the authors define a QoS model for QoS aware and business driven web service publishing and selection. The authors propose a QoS requirement format for the requesters, to specify their complex demands on QoS for the web service selection. The authors define a tree structure called quality constraint tree (QCT) to represent the requester's variety of requirements on QoS properties having varied preferences. The paper proposes a QoS broker based architecture for web service selection, which facilitates the requesters to specify their QoS requirements to select qualitatively optimal web service. A web service selection algorithm is presented, which ranks the functionally similar web services based on the degree of satisfaction of the requester's QoS requirements and preferences. The paper deffnes web service provider qualities to distinguish qualitatively competitive web services. The paper also presents the modelling and selection mechanism for the requester's alternative constraints defined on the QoS. The authors implement the QoS broker based system to prove the correctness of the proposed web service selection mechanism. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
