Web Services Selection Algorithm Based on the Quality of Service

Abstract—Nowadays, searching for web services can be done through accessing from UDDI which is widely available. Most of the searches are functioned by the use of keywords without understanding the meaning of them. This causes users inability to access to the semantic web service, none of the users can identify whether the required web services are still active, and they cannot expect for the quality of those web services. As a result, this study is aimed to 1) collect the web service on weather forecast from many providers, 2) design the knowledge base of web service by using Ontology and RAP-RDF API to create the user interface of web service, 3) select the qualified web service based on four aspects includes; 1) response time 2) availability 3) reliability, and 4) cost. The results of this study help the users to search through the qualified semantic web service.

Index Terms—Web service, web service selection, quality of service, ontology.
