網路服務架構是一種新興的異質平台整合方式,當所有網路服務都需要由外部取得時,服務需求者會有各種相同性質的服務可以選擇以滿足其服務需求;也就是說,候選服務的數目愈多,可以增加應用程式服務整合的彈性;然而,此時服務需求者將會遭遇一個問題,就是如何去選擇一個適合的服務。基於這種服務發現問題,本文提出「二階段服務評選模式(Filter Large Qualify Rest)」模式來改良服務仲介者之服務發現程序,此模式包含三種構成要素:(1)服務篩選(Qualify Rest),是用來減少不合標準的服務數目,像是不可用的、昂貴的、或是無效率的服務;(2)服務評選(Qualify Rest),以品質評估模型來給予每個服務參考指標;(3)品質回饋(Feedback),用來當作服務使用之品質回饋機制。最後,本文利用私有UDDI註冊中心作為實驗對象,並以情境設計來取得實驗之結果,以此結果來說明在網路服務架構中,以此FLQR模式是可以改善服務發現程序之問題。
Web Services architecture (WSA) is an emerging technology for application systems integration in heterogeneous environment. Since services are all outsourcings, requesters may have a variety of choices to satisfy their criteria. That is, amount of candidate services advantage the flexibility in implementation. However, requesters encounter the decision issue of selecting a proper service. Motivated by the discovery problems, this study proposes a Filter Large Qualify Rest (FLQR) model to improve a discovery process within the service broker. The model is consists of three components: (i)Filter Large is related to reduce improper services such as unavailable, expensive, and inefficiency. (ii)Qualify Rest is giving a quality evaluated model to index the performance of each service. (iii)Finally, a feedback component complements an item of quality evaluated model. In the end, this study utilizes a private UDDI registry center as the development platform. Empirical result suggests that the discovery process in WSA can be improved by using the FLQR model.
