TLDR
This paper presents a predictive QoS model that makes it possible to compute the quality of service for workflows automatically based on atomic task QoS attributes, and presents the implementation of the model for the METEOR workflow system.Abstract:
Workflow management systems (WfMSs) have been used to support various types of business processes for more than a decade now. In workflows for e-commerce and Web service applications, suppliers and customers define a binding agreement or contract between the two parties, specifying Quality of Service (QoS) items such as products or services to be delivered, deadlines, quality of products, and cost of services. The management of QoS metrics directly impacts the success of organizations participating in e-commerce. Therefore, when services or products are created or managed using workflows, the underlying workflow system must accept the specifications and be able to estimate, monitor, and control the QoS rendered to customers. In this paper, we present a predictive QoS model that makes it possible to compute the quality of service for workflows automatically based on atomic task QoS attributes. To this end, we present a model that specifies QoS and describe an algorithm and a simulation system in order to compute, analyze and monitor workflow QoS metrics.read more

Combining subjective and objective QoS factors for personalized web service selection
TL;DR: A fuzzy-based UDDI with QoS support is proposed that tries to consider not only the objective factors described by service providers but also the subjective information with trustability evaluations from users who use those services.

Adaptation inWeb Service Composition and Execution
TL;DR: In this article, a staged approach for adaptive WSCE (A-WSCE) is presented, which cleanly separates the functional and non-functional requirements of a new service, and enables different environmental changes to be absorbed at different stages of composition and execution.
How to Measure the Control-flow Complexity of Web Processes and Workflows
TL;DR: This chapter describes a measurement to analyze the control-flow complexity of Web processes and workflows and is to be used at design-time to evaluate the complexity of a process design before implementation.

TL;DR: A decentralized mechanism for self-adaptation of service-based applications, using market-based heuristics, that is effective for the individual application as well as from the collective perspective of all applications adapting at the same time is presented.

TL;DR: The authors described three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, and adjustment from an anchor, which is usually employed in numerical prediction when a relevant value is available.

TL;DR: Three computer programs for comparisons of protein and DNA sequences can be used to search sequence data bases, evaluate similarity scores, and identify periodic structures based on local sequence similarity.
