This chapter presents an aggregated metric to estimate the quality of service compositions,
and two algorithms to select the best compositions based on this metric. Both algorithms …

QoS parameters can be used to characterise services or their compositions according to non-
functional criteria. We propose samplingbased techniques to accurately estimate QoS …

A method and a system for recommendation of a succession of one or more services for a
service workflow are disclosed. In an embodiment, a query is received to retrieve one or …

QoS parameters are used to describe services in terms of their behavior and can be used to
rank services according to non-functional criteria. To provide an accurate characterization of …

Web services are becoming de facto a standard for data exchanging, since they provide a
clear way to express and access information throughout the Internet. Sometimes, one …

This article presents the solution adopted for tackling the problem of incompatibility inherent
in process compositions during a workflow's construction. The proposed approach is based …

A content or service selection process involves a user searching for a content or service of
his choice over the Internet. Content is data which is in various forms such as video, text …

Web service selection involves finding services from a possibly large database of similar
services. The challenges involved in finding a suitable service include large time …
