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

A quality aggregation model for service-oriented software product lines based on variability and composition patterns
TL;DR: This paper addresses the open research problem of aggregating QoS attribute ranges with respect to architectural variability by proposing an aggregation model for QoS computation which takes both variability and composition patterns into account.

A Petri-Net-Based Approach to Reliability Determination of Ontology-Based Service Compositions
TL;DR: This paper introduces an analytical method for the calculation of the process-normal-completion probability as the reliability estimate of OWL-S processes, employing the non-Markovian stochastic Petri net (NMSPN) as the fundamental model.

Service Mining for Trusted Service Composition in Cross-Cloud Environment
TL;DR: A cloud service selection method, named CSSM, is proposed, which takes the utility value as the evaluation index and aims at finding optimal or near-optimal trusted service composition solutions from a set of cloud services on users' demands.

Towards context-aware adaptive fault tolerance in SOA applications
TL;DR: A novel dependability strategy is introduced supporting advanced redundancy management, aiming to autonomously tune its internal configuration in view of changes in context, and it is apparent from preliminary experimentation that this strategy can effectively achieve an optimal trade-off between service reliability and performance-related factors such as timeliness and the degree of redundancy employed.

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.
