Abstract

Web services are one of important components in the service-oriented computing paradigm. As the increasing number of Web services is available for service requests, it is demand to develop an algorithm for ranking them with respect to some criteria. In addition, the algorithm should be capable of taking into account the fact that the user requirements for a service may be diverse. This paper presents approaches for ranking Web services in different scenarios. Two algorithms are developed for this purpose
