Abstract

At the present stage, weight is often used to express the user preference to QoS (Quality of Service). Due to the user’s subjective judgment and the fuzziness of preference description, weight calculated through the traditional weighting method is difficult to express the user preference correctly. To solve the fuzziness of QoS attribute preference description and improve the correctness of service selection, the improved order relation analysis method (G1-method) by fuzzy number is adopted to represent the subjective weight of the user firstly; and the entropy weight method is adopted to determine the objective weight of the QoS attribute; finally, the objective weight is used to revise the subjective weight to calculate the comprehensive weight. Based on the user preference, the service is selected by improving the TOPSIS method with COSINE similarity. According to the experiment, the uncertainty of user preference description is effectively solved, the accuracy of service selection is improved through the improved TOPSIS method, and the selected service is more in line with the user requirement.
