Context: Quality of Service (QoS) is a major issue in various web service related activities. Quality models have been proposed as the engineering artefact to provide a common framework of understanding for QoS, by defining the quality factors that apply to web service usage. Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the current state of the art of the proposed quality models for web services, specifically: (1) which are these proposals and how are they related; (2) what are their structural characteristics; (3) what quality factors are the most and least addressed; and (4) what are their most consolidated definitions. Method: We have conducted a systematic mapping by defining a robust protocol that combines automatic and manual searches from different sources. We used a rigorous method to elicitate the keywords from the research questions and a selection criteria to retrieve the final papers to evaluate. We have adopted the ISO/IEC 25010 standard to articulate our analysis. Results: We have evaluated 47 different quality models from 65 papers that fulfilled the selection criteria. By analyzing in depth these quality models, we have: 1) distributed the proposals along the time dimension and identified their relationships; 2) analysed their size (visualizing the number of nodes and levels) and definition coverage (as indicator of quality of the proposals); 3) quantified the coverage of the different ISO/IEC 25010 quality factors by the proposals; 4) identified the quality factors that appeared in at least 30% of the surveyed proposals and provided the most consolidated definitions for them. Conclusions: We believe that this panoramic view on the anatomy of the quality models for web services may be a good reference for prospective researchers and practitioners in the field and especially may help avoiding the definition of new proposals that do not align with current research.

“…They did not tend to present a practical approach for real services selection. In [11] and [17], the authors focused on the creation of QoS ontology models, which proposed QoS ontology frameworks aimed at formally describing arbitrary QoS parameters. Additionally, [7] and [9] attempted to conduct a proper evaluation framework and proposed QoS-based service selection, despite the authors failing to present how to validate the effectiveness of such a framework or algorithm.…”

“…As a result, it's problematic that traditional methodologies can effectively and autonomously conduct service discovery and composition in a complex dynamic environment. Moreover, the QoS specifications proposed in the literature (e.g., [11,12,17]) are yet to agree on common defining concepts.…”

Many information system developers face high cost in adopting service-oriented architectures because of the high cost of locating appropriate services to customise and integrate into their system. This chapter aims at reducing this cost by automating much of the composition and service selection effort. It illustrates the use of a peer-to-peer multi-agent system (MAS) to facilitate service selection with multiple quality of service properties. The system will use semantic enrichment of services in order to facilitate their identification and composition. With semantic-driven composition, services can be shared between teams of developers and across multiple organisations connected via the Internet. In this chapter, we focus on a conceptual framework for peer selection with a preliminary mathematical model and a selection process, so as to enhance the P2P-based service coordination system and its components.

Abstract-Follow the promising Web 2.0 paradigm, the telecommunications world also wants to implement the Telco 2.0 vision by inviting its users to actively participate in the creating and sharing of services accessible using handheld devices. The EU-IST research project OPUCE (Open Platform for UserCentric Service Creation and Execution) aims at providing end users with an innovative platform which allows an easy creation and delivery of personalized communication and information services. This paper introduces a novel visual semantic service browser built on top of the OPUCE service repository which enables intuitive visualized service exploring and discovery while requires no technical semantic Web knowledge from the user.
