Web service selector component

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, from a client module located on a client apparatus, a request for a web service server;
• requesting a selector module located on a client apparatus for an available web service, wherein the selector module utilizes feedback metrics received from a client module, and wherein the selector module is configured to store information of a plurality of web services, including the available web service;
• sampling listed web services from an external registry of web services if no feedback metrics have been received from the client module to receive initial feedback metrics;
• storing the feedback metrics by the selector module in a local storage on the client apparatus;
• locally selecting a web service based on global optimization of the stored feedback metrics and the stored information of the available web service;
• determining updated feedback metrics based on a request and response interaction that indicates a performance of the selected web service related to an endpoint uniform resource indicator, and wherein the client module gathers the updated feedback metrics for the selected web service provided by the web service server;
• updating the stored feedback metrics by the selector module on the client apparatus based on the updated feedback metrics associated with the endpoint uniform resource indicator to refine further local searches of available web services;
• determining the web service server for the client module, in order for the client module to transmit a web service request to the web service server, wherein the web service is provided by the selector module located on the client apparatus and is based on the updated feedback metrics and wherein the selector module utilizes the metrics received from the client module;
• and
• transmitting the endpoint uniform resource indicator of the web service server to the client module.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a non-linear adaptive processor;
• and
• memory comprising a set of instructions,
• wherein the set of instructions are configured to cause the processor to:
• receive, from a client module located on a client apparatus, a request for a web service server;
• request a selector module located on a client apparatus for an available web service, wherein the selector module utilizes feedback metrics received from a client module, and wherein the selector module is configured to store information of a plurality of web services, including the available web service;
• sample listed web services from an external registry of web services if no feedback metrics have been received from the client module to receive initial feedback metrics;
• store the feedback metrics by the selector module in a local storage on the client apparatus;
• locally select a web service based on global optimization of the stored feedback metrics and the stored information of the available web service;
• determine updated feedback metrics based on a request and response interaction that indicates a performance of the selected web service related to an endpoint uniform resource indicator, and wherein the client module gathers the updated feedback metrics for the selected web service provided by the web service server;
• update the stored feedback metrics by the selector module on the client apparatus based on the gathered updated feedback metrics associated with the endpoint uniform resource indicator to refine further local searches of available web services;
• determine the web service server for the client module, in order for the client module to transmit a web service request to the web service server, wherein the web service is provided by the selector module located on the client apparatus and is based on the updated feedback metrics and wherein the selector module utilizes the metrics received from the client module;
• and
• transmit the endpoint uniform resource indicator of the web service server to the client module.
