In practice, however, Quality of Service QoS parameters rather follow a stochastic distribution. In the work at hand, we present an integrated approach which addresses the Service Selection Problem for complex workflows in conjunction with stochastic Quality of Service parameters. Accounting for penalty cost which accrue due to Quality of Service violations, our approach reduces the impact of stochastic QoS behavior on total cost significantly.enOptimizationService SelectionSimulationStochastic Quality of ServiceConference Paper10.1109/ICWS.2012.50Other
