Abstract

Web services selection is based on QoS and trust. As one of the important attributes of QoS, reputation is commonly used to assess the trustworthiness of the web services and minimize the threats of transactions. However, most existing reputation models of web services are all based on the subjective user ratings. These systems are easily attacked by malicious raters. This paper presents a novel reputation model named WSrep, in WSrep, the reputation integrates user ratings and a significant objective factor-credibility of QoS advertisements which is an objective view of the past behaviors of a given service. Other contributions of the paper include a customer measurable QoS model, a Bayesian learning model for building the credibility, and a set of experiments to show the benefits of our approach.
