Web Services technologies allow interaction between applications. Sometimes a single service given alone does not meet user¡¯s needs. In this case, it is necessary to compose several services in order to achieve the user¡¯s goal. Quality of Service (QoS) support in web services plays a great role for the success of this emerging technology. In this paper, we presentQoS broker- based architecture for web services. The main goal of the architecture is to support the client in selecting web services based on his/her required QoS It also presents an efficient method to finding the suitable web service based on the consumer¡¯s requirements along with QoS. We intend to use this architecture for several services like Loan system,location based search etc %U http://ijecs.in/ijecsissue/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/156-163ijecs.pdf
