Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) enable the automatic creation of business applications from independently developed and deployed services. Mechanisms are thus needed to select these service components that meet or exceed the functional and non-functional requirements of SOAs. The primary objective of service selection in SOAs can be viewed as a maximization of an application-speci c utility function that matches the constraints of the service requester against the capabilities and oerings of the service provider(s). In this paper, we propose such an approach that computes the match between service requests and oerings, based on their functional and non-functional properties in an e cient manner (in terms of space and time). The proposed technique incorporates behavior monitoring of potential matches to ensure enhanced application-speci c utility. We compare our approach with similar existing approaches to its show applicability and performance.
