Fairness as a QoS Measure for Web Services (0906.3921v1)

Abstract: Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are component-based architectures, characterized by reusability, modularization and composition, usually offered by HTTP (web services) and often equipped with a Quality of Services (QoS) measure. In order to guarantee the fairness property to each client requesting a service, we propose a fair version of the (Soft) Concurrent Constraint language to deal with the negotiation phases of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) protocol.
