Abstract

Web service has been rapidly developed in recent years. Web service selection is an important issue in web service composition and lots of service selection algorithms have been presented. As lots of them select an atomic service during runtime, it is not an easy task to evaluate the quality of the composited service which composed of several atomic services. In this work we introduce WS-SIM, a simulation toolkit, to solve this problem. WS-SIM supports modeling and simulating composite services and atomic services in the real world. This system also provides many common service selection algorithms and researchers can custom their own service selection algorithm for a simulation experiment. The quality of composite services can also be generated by our system. Furthermore, to demonstrate suitability of the WS-SIM, in this paper, functionalities of our system are illustrated by a case study. This confirms the usability and the applicability of WS-SIM.
