Service Selection for On-Demand Provisioned Services [PDF]
2014 IEEE 18th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference, 2014 Service selection is an important concept in service oriented architectures that enables the dynamic binding of services based on functional and non-functional requirements. The introduction of the concept of on-demand provisioned services significantly changes the nature of services and as a consequence the traditional service selection process does ...
