Abstract

Using quality of service (QoS) to discover Web Services that better meet users’ needs became a key factor to differentiate similar services. Treating QoS includes negotiating QoS capabilities, since there is a potential conflict between service provider and service requestor requirements. This paper addresses this problem by using an ontological approach for QoS negotiation that aims to improve user participation. For this purpose, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) ontology that explicitly considers subjective user QoS specification was conceived. Its internal components and the role it plays during service discovery are detailed.
