A Selection Method for Services in Dynamic Environments

Abstract

Service selection is one of the current challenges in Service Oriented Computing (SOC). We propose a service selection method for replacing used services in case of a failure. The approach considers the functional as well as the non-functional features of services. Furthermore, the service selection method searches for a service just meeting the requirements and not for the best possible service exceeding the requirements. This saves services having high QoS properties for clients really in need of them.
