Trust-Oriented Composite Service Selection and Discovery

In Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) environments, service clients interact with service providers for consuming services. From the viewpoint of service clients, the trust level of a service or a service provider is a critical issue to consider in service selection and discovery, particularly when a client is looking for a service from a large set of services or service providers. However, a service may invoke other services offered by different providers forming composite services. The complex invocations in composite services greatly increase the complexity of trust-oriented service selection and discovery. In this paper, we propose novel approaches for composite service representation, trust evaluation and trust-oriented service selection and discovery. Our experiments illustrate that compared with the existing approaches our proposed trust-oriented service selection and discovery algorithm is realistic and more efficient.
