Personalized quality of service (QoS) prediction plays an important role in helping users build high-quality service-oriented systems. To obtain accurate prediction results, many approaches have been investigated in recent years. However, these approaches do not fully address untrustworthy QoS values submitted by unreliable users, leading to inaccurate predictions. To address this issue, inspired by blockchain with distributed ledger technology, distributed consensus mechanisms, encryption algorithms, etc., we propose a personalized QoS prediction method for web services that we call blockchain-based matrix factorization (BMF). We develop a user verification approach based on homomorphic hash, and use the Byzantine agreement to remove unreliable users. Then, matrix factorization is employed to improve the accuracy of predictions and we evaluate the proposed BMF on a real-world web services dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing approaches, making it much more effective than traditional techniques.

Summary With the growing number of functionally similar services over the Internet, recommendation techniques become a natural choice to cope with the challenging task of optimal service selection, and to help consumers satisfy their needs and preferences. However, most existing models on service recommendation are static, while in the real world, the perception and popularity of Web services may continually change. Time is becoming an increasingly important factor in recommender systems since time effects influence users' preferences to a large extent. In order to help users with this problem, we propose a time‐aware Web service recommendation system. First, we use K‐means clustering method in order to exclude the less similar users, which share few common Web services with the active user at different times. Slope One algorithm is also adopted in order to deal with data sparsity problem by predicting the missing ratings over time. Then, a recommendation algorithm is presented in order to recommend the top‐rated Web services. Experiments proved the accuracy of our approach compared to five existing solutions.

“…As a result, ignoring the appropriate time span may lead to inaccurate recommendations. Fan et al tried to solve this problem by measuring the weighted temporal effectiveness of differential QoS values in similarity computation. Well‐known similarity measures such as Pearson Correlation Coefficient and its variants are used in categorical TARS.…”

Summary Nowadays, a huge number of available Web services offer the same functionalities and a high quality of service, which makes the selection of suitable services a difficult task. In such situation, the services must be differentiated by additional criteria such as users' ratings. To meet this goal, recommendation techniques become a natural choice to cope with the challenging task of optimal service selection and to help consumers satisfy their needs and preferences. However, most existing models on service recommendation are static, whereas in the real world, the perception and popularity of Web services may continually change, and users' preferences and habits also shift frequently. Time is becoming an increasingly important factor in recommender systems, since time effects influence users' preferences to a large extent. In addition, quality‐of‐service performance of Web services is strongly linked to the service status and network environments, which are variable against time. Recently, a wide range of service recommendation approaches, dealing with the time dimension in user modeling and recommendation strategies, have been proposed. Thus, the purpose of this survey is to present a comprehensive study and analysis of the state‐of‐the‐art on time‐aware service recommendation. We identify the techniques used in recommender systems to provide the best services. Moreover, we present a classification of time‐aware recommender systems based on the target recommendation time, the type of relationship between users, and the type of feedback. Besides, we present a comparison between time‐aware recommendation approaches, and we discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, challenges and requirements of time‐aware service recommendation as well as the future directions are identified according to the studied approaches.
