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.

Change Management of Long Term Composed Services

Xumin Liu
TL;DR: A framework for managing changes in Long term Composed Services (LCSs) including a Web Service Change Management Language (SCML), change enactment, and change optimization, and a two-phase optimization process to select services using both service reputation and service quality is proposed.

Quality of Service and Extra-Functional Properties for Web Services: A Model-Driven Approach

TL;DR: This chapter shall present a model-based approach to deal with specification and implementation of Quality of Service and extra-functional properties in a loosely coupled manner and results in increasing the system’s modularity and thus reducing implementation and maintenance costs.

Efficient scheduling strategies for web services-based e-business transactions

TL;DR: This paper considers a service-oriented computing (e.g., e-business) environment where “similar” services are provided by many providers, and shows through a simulation-based evaluation that even basic strategies improve the system throughput substantially.

Channel Prediction and Transmitter Authentication With Adversarially-Trained Recurrent Neural Networks

TL;DR: In this article, the use of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) using LSTM and gated recurrent unit (GRU) cells with variations of a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) to authenticate transmitters in a mobile environment was proposed.

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.
