A service interoperability assessment model for service composition

This work presents an assessment model of service interoperability for service composition, which helps users to judge whether their composite services can be invoked properly. The model provides a clean and easy way to evaluate interoperability between autonomous services in open and large-scale distributed environments. This paper first summarizes and analyzes different levels of service interoperability, then proposes a multifactor decision model to assess interoperability, and finally discusses some patterns to use the model.
