It then addresses the impacts these models have on service continuity across networks, devices and domains.","PeriodicalId":391459,"journal":{"name":"13th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127918929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such properties generally include the interface provided by a service (such as message types supported) - but may also include other nonfunctional properties - such as service performance and cost. This requires the provision and recording of metadata about a service that is not supported by current registry services such as UDDI. A framework to facilitate reputation-based service selection in semantic grids is presented. The proposed framework has two key features that distinguish it from other work in this area. First, an adaptive reputation-aware service discovery algorithm is provided. Second, a service-oriented distributed reputation assessment algorithm is presented. The main components of the framework are described.","PeriodicalId":391459,"journal":{"name":"13th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115942437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under this idea, service requester agents approaching their pre-set negotiation deadline yet having failed to secure even a single offer would issue a call for help, to which other requester agents respond by donating their superfluous offers. In this paper we propose a formal model of this protocol and investigate its effect on improving the success rates in procuring Web services.","PeriodicalId":391459,"journal":{"name":"13th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116915051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
