Abstract
Web services (WS) are the preferred approach in realizing the service-oriented computing paradigm. However, this comes with challenges such as complexity and uncertainty that hinder their practical application. Bayesian networks (BNs) are one of the techniques used to address these challenges. The objective of this mapping study was to determine what is known about the use of Bayesian networks in web services research. To do this, we identified and selected rigorously 69 articles (out of the 532 identified) published on the subject in 2001-2021. We then classified and analyzed these articles by Web service themes (Service Composition, Service Management, Service Engineering), Objectives (Prediction, Description, Prescription), Types of BN (Basic, Combined, Extended), and Evaluation methods (Proof of concept, Experiment, No evaluation). In doing so, we hope to provide a clear understanding of the subject. We also identify and suggest avenues for future research. Thus, the review results can help researchers and practitioners interested by the application of BNs in WS research.
