This method can eliminate dominated service, can get the service set with excellent QoS and stable, and can effectively reduce the number of alternatives. Examples, experiments show that:1) the mean and standard deviation compared to the mean, interval number, and fuzzy numbers has better performance in the characterization of QoS; 2) Service Skyline query can effectively get the optimal service set; 3) BBS_CM compared to BNL_CM, D&C_CM and NN_CM has better performance. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2017.01.022
