Abstract

Automatic discovery and invocation of services will only be accepted in practise, if the non-functional, especially QoS, parameters are taken into consideration during matchmaking. In this paper we present how this can be achieved. As an example, we use the DIANE framework and explain how the concepts developed there can be extended to easily accommodate non-functional aspects. Thereby, these aspects become first class citizens given the same importance as functional requirements during service selection.
