In past work, composition of SWSs was mainly supported by specialised social networks of competitor services and cooperating ones. In this work, we continue this line of research, by proposing a novel SWSs composition procedure driven by the SWSs reputation. Making use of a well-known formal language and associated tools, we specify the composition steps and we prove that such reputation-driven approach assures better results in terms of the overall quality of service of the compositions, with respect to randomly selecting SWSs. date: 2014-05 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 735-742 event_title: Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA), 2014 IEEE 28th International Conference on id_number: 10.1109/AINA.2014.90 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4799-3629-8 book_title: 28th International Conference on dvanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA) official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6838737&isnumber=6838626 citation: Celestini, Alessandro and Costantino, Gianpiero and De Nicola, Rocco and Maamar, Zakaria and Martinelli, Fabio and Petrocchi, Marinella and Tiezzi, Francesco Reputation-Based Composition of Social Web Services.
