However, Quality of Service may rather follow a stochastic distribution and, thus, may change at runtime. In order to cope with differing Quality of Service, we present a heuristic approach for efficiently addressing the Service Selection Problem in conjunction with stochastic Quality of Service attributes. Accounting for penalty cost which accrue due to Quality of Service violations, our approach reduces the impact of stochastic Quality of Service behavior on total cost significantly.enOptimizationService SelectionSimulationStochastic Quality of ServiceConference Paper10.1109/ICWS.2014.59Other
