Finally, we perform a series of experiments employing several replication schemes and compare them with a non-redundant single service. Through the experiments, we evaluate both the reliability of the Web service paradigm and the correctness of the Web service composition algorithm. / In the paradigm, N-version programming technique is applied to increase the diversity of the system. As different versions of Web services or even different versions of their components are abundantly available in the Internet, the combination of different versions of the Web service or their components is thus becoming critical for enabling different versions in a server application using the N-version approach. We propose a dynamic Web service composition algorithm and evaluate with Petri-Net for verification purposes. / Moreover, we model the Web services with Markov chains and Petri-Nets to demonstrate the performance and reliability of the constructed Web services. Also, we develop the mathematical models to analyze the reliability of the Web services. / One of the latest achievements of the Internet usage is the availability of Web services technology and its dependability is becoming one of the most critical goals in Web related research. In this thesis, we propose a design paradigm for reliable Web services and a Web service composition algorithm. We describe the methods of dependability enhancement by redundancy in space and redundancy in time, using Round-robin scheduling technique, N-version programming and recovery block. The Web services are coordinated by a replication manager. It provides a Round-robin algorithm for scheduling the workload of the Web services and keeps updating the availability of each Web service. The replication algorithm and the detailed system configuration are described. / Chan, Pik Wah. / "March 2008." / Adviser: Micheal R.
