However, service descriptions of constituent services are often heterogeneous which makes the aggregation of multiple single-service QoS difficult. In this paper, we address the heterogeneity problem from the perspective of knowledge engineering. We propose a QoS aggregation ontology; i.e., a formal parameter classification which can be used to determine the right aggregation for annotated QoS parameters based on workflow patterns.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
