current IT scenario, web service is the fast emerging technology for integrating disparate IT systems and assets. Both academic and industrial organization in business process environment faced a thorny problem, to flexibly modify or update existing components and to connect heterogeneous application to meet the specific requirements of business. There are number of services published and available as runtime usable services in Internet. Lack of semantic base in search mechanisms of UDDI make it difficult for users to find a required web services. In this paper, we are extending web mining concept to service mining having knowledge of service deployed in the registry to automatically discover an efficient service which meets users specific requirements. Agents are used to discover an accurate service which meets specific requirements of user more efficiently using agents than the existing methods in service mining. This work also discussed about the quality attributes with organized set of design related questions which helps an evaluator to analyze the ability of the architecture to meet quality requirements, and provides a brief sample evaluation. ATAM method of software architecture evaluation is used to evaluate the proposed model. The assessment justifies the proposal in terms of the performance attributes such as reliability, availability, modifiability, security and interoperability etc.
