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

An approach for QoS-aware service composition based on genetic algorithms
TL;DR: Genetic Algorithms, while being slower than integer programming, represent a more scalable choice, and are more suitable to handle generic QoS attributes.

Interval Neutrosophic Sets and Logic: Theory and Applications in Computing
TL;DR: This work defines the set-theoretic operators on an instance of a neutrosophic set, and calls it an Interval Neutrosophics Set (INS), and introduces a new logic system based on interval neutrosophile sets and proposed data model based on the extension of fuzzy data model and paraconsistent data model.
