Abstract

The Web service composition refers to the aggregation of Web services to meet customers' needs in the construction of complex applications. The selection among a large number of Web services that provide the desired functionalities for the composition is generally driven by QoS (Quality of Service) attributes, and formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. However, many equally important QoS attributes exist and in this situation the performance of the multi-objective algorithms can be degraded. To deal properly with this problem we investigate in this chapter a solution based in many-objective optimization algorithms. We conduct an empirical analysis to measure the performance of the proposed solution with the following preference relations: Controlling the Dominance Area of Solutions, Maximum Ranking and Average Ranking. These preference relations are implemented with NSGA-II using five objectives. A set of performance measures is used to investigate how these techniques affect convergence and diversity of the search in the WSC context.
