Abstract

With the increasing popularity of Web services and Service-Oriented Architecture, we need sophisticated infrastructure to discover and compose Web services. Dynamic Web service Composition will gain wider acceptance only when users know that the solutions obtained are comprised of trustworthy services. In this paper, we extend our Web service Composition framework to include selection and ranking of services based on their reputation score. We present a technique to calculate a reputation score per service using centrality measure of Social Networks.
