Abstract

Web Services are the most emerging distributed applications which can be published and invoked using standardized protocols over the public or private registries. Due to rapid development of the Web, there are numerous functionally similar Web Services available, which made the selection of the Web Service based on functional properties is not reliable. To select the functionally similar Web Service, the non functional criteria such as Quality of Service (QoS) will be considered. However, most of the clients are not experienced enough to acquire the best selection of Web Service based on its described QoS properties. In this paper we are proposing architecture which has broker for a specific functional domain web services. Contacting this broker will assist with analyzed qos of all web services in that functional domain. This broker makes use of SOAPUI software for checking the qos attributes of the web services.
