Abstract
A method of and system for providing performance information in a Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) system periodically requests data from Web service providers that are registered in a UDDI registry. The method and system determine performance attributes for the Web service providers based upon the requested data. The method stores the latest, or most current, performance attributes in a performance metric store that is accessible by the UDDI registry. The UDDI registry services requests from Web service consumers for performance attributes of service providers that provide specified Web services. The UDDI registry accesses the performance metric store to obtain current performance attributes for the Web service providers and returns the performance attributes to the Web service consumer. The Web service consumer can use the performance attributes to select a Web service.
