TL;DR
This paper shows which challenges emerge and a approach on determining the impact each Web service has on the composition at runtime is provided, which is important to determine whether or not a component in a composition is performing properly.
Abstract
Although Web services are intended for short term, ad hoc collaborations, in practice many Web service compositions are offered longterm to customers. While the Web services making up the composition may vary, the structure of the composition is rather fixed. For companies managing such Web service compositions, however, challenges arise which go far beyond simple bilateral contract monitoring. It is not only important to determine whether or not a component (i.e., Web service) in a composition is performing properly, but also to understand what the impact of its performance is on the overall service composition. In this paper we show which challenges emerge and we provide an approach on determining the impact each Web service has on the composition at runtime.

This paper presents a middleware platform which addresses the issue of selecting Web services for the purpose of their composition in a way that maximizes user satisfaction expressed as utility functions over QoS attributes, while satisfying the constraints set by the user and by the structure of the composite service.

An automated and distributed SLA monitoring engine that collects the right measurement, models the data and evaluates the SLA at certain times or when certain events happen is proposed.
Lecture notes in computer scienceTowards Dynamic Monitoring of WS-BPEL Processes
292 Citations2005Luciano Baresi, Sam Guinea
The paper supports the idea that significant data may come from very different sources and probes must be able to accommodate all of them and presents a proxy-based solution to support the dynamic selection and execution of monitoring rules at run-time.
Run-Time Monitoring of Instances and Classes of Web Service Compositions
246 Citations2006Fabio Barbon, Paolo Traverso +2 more
An architecture is devised that clearly separates the business logic of a Web service from its monitoring functionality, and a technique is devised for the automatic translation of all these kinds of monitors to Java programs.
Smart monitors for composed services
