Web service composition is a promising Solution for building distributed applications on the Internet in which Web service discovery is a key step. With a number of Web services having similar functionality, it is necessary to rank those services to select the best Web services for a request. QoS information which can reflect user's expectation and experience of using a service is often used as a distinguish factor in a service ranking algorithm. Different service providers and participants May use different QoS concepts for describing service quality information. Therefore, it leads to the issue of semantic interoperability of QoS. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for designing and developing a QoS ontology and its QoS-based ranking algorithm for evaluating Web services. The QoS ontology can support not only describing QoS information in great detail but also facilitating various service participants expressing their QoS offers and demands at different levels of expectation. The QoS-based ranking algorithm adopted Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multiple criteria decision making technique, as an underlying mechanism for developing a flexible and dynamic ranking algorithm. The proposed QoS ontology and ranking algorithm can be used in various applications in order to facilitate automatic and dynamic discovery and selection of Web services. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
