Abstract
A distributed application may be composed of global services provided by different organizations and having different properties. To select a service from many similar services, it is important to distinguish between them. Quality of services (QoS) has been used as a distinguishing factor between similar services and plays an important role in service discovery, selection, and composition. Moreover, QoS is an important contributing factor to the evolution of distributed paradigms, such as service-oriented computing and cloud computing. There are many research works that assess services and justify the QoS at the finding, composition, or binding stages of services. However, there is a need to justify the QoS once new services are registered and before any requestors use them; this is called bootstrapping QoS. Bootstrapping QoS is the process of evaluating the QoS of the newly registered services at the time of publishing the services. Thus, this paper proposes a QoS bootstrapping solution for Web Services and builds a QoS bootstrapping framework. In addition, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is extended and a prototype is built to support QoS bootstrapping. Experiments are conducted and a case study is presented to test the proposed QoS bootstrapping solution.
