CS Colloquium: QoS-based service selection for multi-user composite applications

Talk Title: QoS-based service selection for multi-user composite applications

Series: CS Colloquium

Abstract: Cloud computing paradigms such as Service-Based Systems (SBSs) or Software as a Service (SaaS) are based on multiple cloud services providing various functionalities and responding to a number of client requests. For a given task, selecting the actual service instance per request can be an issue, if requirements for multiple Quality of Service (QoS) attributes need to be satisfied for many users simultaneously. The problem becomes more complex if we take into account the compositeness of the users' applications, which are workflows consisting of many tasks, where the QoS properties are calculated over the whole composition. We describe a fast heuristic method for multi-criteria service selection, designed for multi-user composite (multi-task) workflows with the goal of satisfying all, or as many as possible, of the given QoS requirements.
