A single web service is most likely inadequate to serve the customers’ business needs; it takes a selection of various web services composed together to form a business process. The cost is the primary concern of many business processes. In this paper, we propose a new solution using Genetic Algorithm (GA) in cost-reduction driven web service selection. GA is utilized to optimize business process composed of many service agents (SAg), each of which corresponds to a collection of available web services provided by multiple service providers to perform a specific function. Service selection is an optimization process with taking into account the relationships among the services. Better performance has been gotten using GA in the paper than using local service selection strategy.
