TLDR
QoS measures can include the maximum throughput or a function that describes how throughput varies with load intensity, which can be measured in terms of arrival rates (such as requests per second) or number of concurrent requests.
Abstract
Quality of service (QoS) is a combination of several qualities or properties of a service, such as: availability is the percentage of time that a service is operating; security properties include the existence and type of authentication mechanisms the service offers, confidentiality and data integrity of messages exchanged, nonrepudiation of requests or messages, and resilience to denial-of-service attacks; response time is the time a service takes to respond to various types of requests; Response time is a function of load intensity, which can be measured in terms of arrival rates (such as requests per second) or number of concurrent requests. QoS takes into account not only the average response time, but also the percentile of the response time; and throughput is the rate at which a service can process requests. QoS measures can include the maximum throughput or a function that describes how throughput varies with load intensity. The QoS measure is observed by Web services users. These users are not human beings but programs that send requests for services to Web service providers. QoS issues in Web services have to be evaluated from the perspective of the providers of Web services and from the perspective of the users of these services.

QoS-aware service composition for cloud manufacturing based on the optimal construction of synergistic elementary service groups

TL;DR: To deal with the increasing computing complexity of the optimization model, an algorithm named matrix-coded genetic algorithm with collaboratively evolutional populations (MCGA-CEP) is designed in the current study and results indicate that the proposed SESG-SC approach significantly outperforms the previous approaches, and the proposed MCGA- CEP is sound on performance-wise.

A Spatial-Temporal QoS Prediction Approach for Time-aware Web Service Recommendation

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel spatial-temporal QoS prediction approach for time-aware Web service recommendation, where a sparse representation is employed to model QoS variations, and uses the geo-location of web service to effectively select the nearest neighbor for the sparse representation of temporal QoS values.

Session-based admission control: a mechanism for peak load management of commercial Web sites

TL;DR: It is shown that a Web server augmented with the admission control mechanism is able to provide a fair guarantee of completion, for any accepted session, independent of a session length, which is a critical requirement for any e-business.
