Abstract

A workflow system is often composed of a number of subtasks in its pattern. In services computing environment, a dynamic cross-organizational workflow can be implemented by assigning services to its subtasks. It is often enabled by a service discovery process on Internet. Traditional service discovery approaches are centralized, and suffer from many problems such as one-point failure and weak scalability. Thus, decentralized P2P technique is a promising approach for service publishing and discovery. It is quite probable that there are more than one candidates which have exactly the same function after a service discovery process. It is often a challenging effort to select a qualified service from a group of candidates, especially on P2P networks. In view of this challenge, a QoS-aware service selection approach on unstructured P2P networks is presented in this paper. It aims at discovering and selecting services on two-layered unstructured P2P networks according to QoS parameters of services and preference of service requesters. This approach is applied to a case study based on a simplified P2P network with some virtual services.
