Efficient Web Service Discovery and Selection Model

Selection of an optimal web service is a challenging task due to the uncertainty of Quality of Service, which is the deciding factor to identify the accurate web service. Several discovery mechanisms have proposed but most of the research work does not consider the non-functional characteristics called Quality of service. The proposed model for web service selection combines two techniques. First, with Skyline method reduce the search space by filtering the redundant service and secondly to calculate the Relevancy function to normalize the skyline services. The experimental results show that the proposed technique outperforms the existing method

Towards an Effective QoS Prediction of Web Services using Context-Aware Dynamic Bayesian Network Model

The functionally equivalent web services (WSs) with different quality of service (QoS) leads to WS discovery models to identify the optimal WS. Due to the unpredictable network connections and user environment, the predicted values of the QoS are likely to fluctuate. The proposed Context-Aware Bayesian Network (CABN) system overcomes these limitations by incorporating the contextual factors in user, server, and environmental perspective. In this paper, three components are introduced for personalized QoS prediction. First, the CABN incorporates the pre-clustering model and reduces the searching space for QoS prediction. Second, the CABN confronts with the multi-constraint problem while considering the multi-dimensional QoS parameters of similar QoS data in WS discovery. Third, the CABN sends the normalized QoS value of records in similar as well as neighbor clusters as inputs to the Dynamic Bayesian Network and improves the prediction accuracy. The experimental results prove that the proposed CABN achieves better WS-Discovery than the existing work within a reasonable time
