In the past five years there has been a dramatic increase in work on Search-Based Software
Engineering (SBSE), an approach to Software Engineering (SE) in which Search-Based …

This survey investigates search-based approaches to software design. The basics of the
most popular meta-heuristic algorithms are presented as background to the search-based …

In advanced service oriented systems, complex applications, described as abstract business
processes, can be executed by invoking a number of available Web services. End users can …

Service-based systems that are dynamically composed at runtime to provide complex,
adaptive functionality are currently one of the main development paradigms in software …

The exponential growth of Web service makes building high-quality service-oriented
applications an urgent and crucial research problem. User-side QoS evaluations of Web …

QoS-aware dynamic binding of composite services provides the capability of binding each
service invocation in a composition to a service chosen among a set of functionally …

This paper discusses the quality of service (QoS)-aware composition of Web services. The
work is based on the assumption that for each task in a workflow a set of alternative Web …

This article investigates the problem of cloud service composition optimal-selection
(CSCOS) in cloud manufacturing (CMfg). The categories of cloud services and their QoS …

The service-oriented paradigm offers support for engineering service-based systems (SBSs)
based on service composition where existing services are composed to create new services …

Abstract In Service Oriented systems, complex applications can be composed from a variety
of functionally equivalent Web services which may differ for quality parameters. Under this …
