ABSTRACT
110A problem that has become one of the recent critical issues in service computing is automating web services selection. Web service selection has been applied in different computing paradigms namely as SOA, and Grid. A number of approaches with a variety of architectures and algorithms have been proposed to resolve the problem. The aim of this chapter is to create a comprehensive taxonomy for web service selection solution, and apply this taxonomy to categorize selection approaches. In addition, the survey and taxonomy results are presented in a way to identify gaps in this area of research. Furthermore, it indicates how web service selection approaches in SOA and Grid can share their contributions to tackle selection problems in Cloud.
