In service oriented computing, services are the basic constructs that aims to facilitate building of business application in a more flexible and interoperable manner for enterprise collaboration. To satisfy the needs of clients and to adapt to the changing needs, service composition is performed in order to compose the various capabilities of available services. With the proliferation of services offering similar functionalities around the web, the task of service selection for service composition is complicated. Therefore, it is vital to provide service consumers with facilities for selecting required web services according to their non-functional qualities (QoS) or characteristics. To resolve the conflicts or divergent view of service consumers and service providers on quality of service for web service selection, we propose an egalitarian based negotiation model that aims to select a required service for service consumers by achieving the egalitarian principle.
