Multi-Objective Optimization Model for QoS-Enabled Web Service Selection in Service-Based Systems

ABSTRACT Nowadays, the web service has become the emerging communication technology where the interaction of each user is performed through the World Wide Web. However, the performance of the web service mechanism is degraded due to security flaws that occur throughout the Internet.. The user or service requester may not attain the relevant web service for their requirement. To overcome this problem, the newly developed multi-objective based Cuckoo Search (MCS) algorithm is proposed in this article. Initially, the input query model was built by the query keyword that is provided by the service requester. Then, the given query is matched with the database that hosts the web services that relates to input query. Among the various services, the user has to select the appropriate web service using the proposed algorithm. The MCS algorithm is newly designed by combining the Cuckoo Search algorithm and the QoS parameter based multiple objectives. Additionally, the new mathematical model of fitness is evaluated by the multi-objective parameters. Finally, the proposed algorithm exploits the fitness value to select the relevant web service for the user query. The experimental results are validated and performance is analyzed by the parameters of precision, recall, and F-measure. Thus, 86.6% of precision value was obtained by the proposed method, which ensured provision of the appropriate web service.
