Effective Service Composition Approach based on Pruning Performance Bottlenecks

Abstract

In recent years, several online services have proliferated to provide similar services with same functionality by different service providers with varying Quality of Service (QoS) properties. So, service composition should provide effective adaptation especially in a dynamically changing composition environment. Meanwhile, a large number of component services pose scalability issues. As a result, monitoring and resolving performance problems in web services based systems is challenging task as these systems depend on component web services that are distributed in nature. In this paper, a distributed approach is used to identify performance related problems in component web services. The service composition adaptation provides timely replacement of the performance bottleneck source that can prohibit performance degradation for the forthcoming requests. Experimentation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, and also the quality of solution of a service composition is maintained.
