Abstract

The rise of web services have become increasingly more visible. Monitoring these services ensures Quality of Service and it is the basis for verifying and potentially predicting e-contract violations. This paper proposes a fuzzy scheduling mechanism that attempts to predict a possible e-contract violation based on historical data of the provider’s services. Consequently, there is a self-configuration on the architecture that changes service priority, making the provider processes the high priority services before low priority services. This prediction can also helps the self-optimization of the architecture. A decrease of e-contract violations can be observed. Though it is not always possible to predict a failure, the architecture is capable of self-healing by using recovery actions. Comparing the fuzzy scheduling with others known in the literature, an improvement of 31.52% in the e-contracts accomplishment is observed, and a decrease of 35.59% in average response time was achieved. Furthermore, by using the fuzzy scheduling, the overload of the provider was better balanced, varying at most 8.43%, while the variation in other scheduling mechanisms reached 41.15%. The results show that the fuzzy scheduling mechanism is promising.
