Abstract Web services are rapidly changing the landscape of software engineering. One of the most interesting challenges introduced by web services is represented by Quality Of Service (QoS)-aware composition and late--binding. This allows to bind, at run-time, a serviceoriented system with a set of services that, among those providing the required features, meet some non functional constraints, and optimize criteria such as the overall cost or response time. In other words, QoS--aware composition can be modeled as an optimization problem.We propose to adopt Genetic Algorithms to this aim. Genetic Algorithms, while being slower than integer programming, represent a more scalable choice, and are more suitable to handle generic QoS attributes. The paper describes our approach and its applicability, advantages and weaknesses, discussing results of some numerical simulations.

The papers in this two volume proceedings are presented at the 7th Annual Genetic and Evolutionary Computation COnference (GECCO-2005), held in Washington, D.C., June 25-29, 2005.This year is an exceptional one for the GECCO conference series. First, the International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (ISGEC) which has always been GECCO's sponsor has changed to become a Special Interest Group of the ACM named SIGEVO. Being part of ACM reflects the evolution and integration of our very successful discipline into the main stream of computer science. As a consequence, the GECCO-2005 proceedings are an ACM publication and they are incorporated into the ACM Digital Library. This guarantees an even broader dissemination of Darwinian and other nature-inspired computation methods.Second, we had 549 regular paper submissions representing the absolute record of all conferences emphasizing the field of evolutionary computation. Paper reviewing has been done by double blind assignment. On average each paper was evaluated by five independent reviewers. Finally, 253 paper (46.1%) have been accepted as full (max. 8 pages) papers. Additionally, 120 submissions were accepted as posters.A goal of GECCO is to encourage new areas and paradigms of evolutionary computation to gather momentum and flourish.
