Uncertain QoS-aware skyline service selection based on cloud model

Abstract

Because traditional QoS-aware Web service selection approach cannot ensure the reliability and the real-time of service selection, this paper proposes an uncertain QoS-aware Skyline service selection approach based on cloud model. The approach first uses cloud model to compute the uncertainty of QoS and then adopts Skyline computing to extract Skyline services from Web services to prune redundant services. Finally, mixed integer programming is employed to perform service selection from Skyline services. The study evaluates the approach experimentally using both real and synthetically generated datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can accomplish service selection for users reliably and quickly. © 2012 ISCAS.
