A trustworthy Reputation Approach for Web Service Discovery

Trust and Reputation for Web Services arises as an important research issue in Web Service discovery. To the best of our knowledge, current Web Service Reputation models do not include the trust factor in the calculation of Web Service Reputation. In this paper, we propose a Web Service discovery and selection model based on reputation model that can overcome such limitations by considering consumer trust factor when calculating Web Service Reputation. In addition, the trust Negotiation approach is included in the selection process. The proposed approach is implemented and test. The results show that including the consumer trust factor in calculating the Web Service Reputation affects positively as it allows the system to behave systematically and gives more trustworthy results in the discovery process.
