Flexible Probabilistic QoS Management of Orchestrations
Sidney Rosario, Albert Benveniste, Claude Jard · International Journal of Web Services Research · 2010
In this paper, the authors develop a comprehensive framework for QoS management based on soft probabilistic contracts. The authors approach also encompasses general QoS parameters, with “response time” as a particular case. In addition, the authors support composite QoS parameters, for example, combining timing aspects with “quality of data” or security level. They also study contract composition (how to derive QoS contracts for an orchestration from the QoS contracts with its called services), and contract monitoring.
