A hybrid approach for user activity experiments on internet of services platforms

The Internet of Services (IoS) idea promotes collaborative service exchange and trading platforms. Activity in the IoS is determined by metrics such as the number of users, number of services with associated descriptions and contract templates, negotiated contracts, performed invocations and generated measurements. In order to develop scalable and high-quality IoS platforms, experiments with user activity simulations are needed to achieve realistic metrics. We present a hybrid approach to keep the amount of simulation to a minimum based on evolving real IoS system replication.
