Design and implementation of Web services QoS broker

Quality of service is one of the most important factors for user's choice of Web service. However, current Web service environments do not offer any information on QoS of Web services. We design and develop a Web service QoS broker system which actively monitors QoS of Web services. With this information a user can select a Web service best suited for his/her needs. Availability, performance, and reliability were the metrics used for QoS monitoring.
