Non-functional Property based service selection: A survey and classification of approaches
conference contribution
posted on 2009-09-22, 14:55 authored by Hong Qing Yu, Stephan Reiff-MarganiecIn recent years there has been much effort dedicated to developing
approaches for service selection based on non-functional properties.
It is clear that much progress has been made, and by considering
the individual approaches there is some overlap in functionality, but obviously
also some divergence. In this paper we contribute a classification
of approaches, that is, we define a number of criteria which allow to differentiate
approaches. We use this classification to provide a comparison
of existing approaches and in that sense provide a survey of the state of
the art of the field. Finally we make some suggestions as to where the
research in this area might be heading and which new challenges need to
be addressed.
