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.

A novel genetic algorithm for qos-aware web services selection

TL;DR: Experiments on QoS-aware web services selection show that the genetic algorithm with this matrix can get more excellent composite service plan than the genetic algorithms with the one dimension coding scheme, and that the two policies play an important role at the improvement of the fitness of genetic algorithm.

Domain-Specific Service Selection for Composite Services

TL;DR: This work proposes a domain-specific service selection mechanism and system implementation to address the issue of runtime adaptation of composite services that implement mission-critical business processes using quality of service (QoS) as a means to specify rigid dependability requirements.

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.
