| Abstract | It is clear that purchasing power online offer many obvious benefits such as saving time, money and man - power; because all information about electricity could be known even in a click. This Thesis will present t he web service about buying electricity (power) from online in Baltimore. Many difficulties and some challenges to create this service will be discussed in here. In a highly competitive business environment, quality of service (QOS), the capability of a We b service to meet an acceptable level of service as per factors such as availability and accessibility , is one of the substantial aspects for differentiating between similar service providers. However too much of a focus on developing functional QoS ontolo gies has led to an over - emphasis on representing QoS metrics and units of measurement. The first challenge that comes to mind in every web services is that of interoperability. As Web services are developed and deployed by various companies, there might b e problems while communicating each other. For solving these problems, W3C has developed standard web technologies such as HTTP, XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI enables pervasive adoption and deployment of web services. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) between a service provider and its customers will assure customers that they can get the service they pay for and will obligate the service provider to achieve its service promises. Failing to meet SLAs could result in serious financial consequences for a provider. Therefore, make effort to develop a heterogeneous Contract for satisfying the concepts of Service Level Agreement in this Thesis. The need for a Quality of Service (QoS) in a web service has been widely discussed topic today also. The proposed system wi ll also be based on the representation of electricity information with respect to O ntology. As I am applying the Ontology for the specifi cation and monitoring of Electricity, r esults from different components are represented in a uniform way acco rding to Electricity ontology, Ontology could provide an agreed understanding of data between among service providers and Service Consumers. And then, Ontology encourages the development of interoperable systems. The Contractual relationship for Electricity is fundamental to allow Ontology related data interpretation and integration. Finally, Service Customer is able to perform an automatic selection of the best service offer (in terms of quality and price) among those made available by providers. |
