Negotiation Support for Web Service Selection

In the literature, the problem of negotiating the characteristics of a web service has been addressed only from the point of view of the characterization of negotiation protocols, without considering the problem of coordinating the services that participate in the negotiation process. We propose a framework for the coordination of different services for web service negotiation during web service selection. We also discuss the representation of negotiation in process specification and its enactment.
