MDF4SS: A Multi-Dimensional Framework for Services Selection

Abstract

In the process of Web services composition, one of the principal tasks is to discover and select proper services based on user-defined requirements and preferences. The main contributions of MDF4SS are the ability to describe multi-dimensional properties of a single service and a Multi-dimensional solution to services selection that optimizes the overall property of composite service appropriate to customer’s constraints and preferences. We have implemented a prototype based on MDF4SS.
