title = "Consensus Issues for Service Advertisement and Selection",
abstract = "Several commercial service providers are offering analogous functional features in the advertisements of their services which lead to the problem of efficient selection for the potential service consumers. Generally, the service consumers and providers would have different views on the content of the services. How to reach consensus between the service consumers and providers is an interesting practical aspect of web service selection. This chapter proposes a Quality of Services (QoS) aware web service selection model based on fuzzy linear programming (FLP) technologies, in order to identify their differences on service alternatives, assist service providers and consumers in selecting the most suitable services with consideration of their expectations and preferences. By extending the LINMAP method (LINear programming techniques for Multidimensional Analysis of Preferences), developed by Srinivasan and Shocker, we can offer the optimal solution of consensual weight of QoS attribute and fuzzy positive ideal solution. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the solution process.",
