Decision tree classifiers are used to accomplish this classification. Because of the ever-changing and expanding nature of online services, it is necessary to accurately categorize them in order to make choosing them more efficient for consumers. It makes use of decision tree techniques, more especially the C5.0 classifier, this is an advancement over older approaches such as the C4.5 classifiers. It incorporates characteristics like as noisy handling, incomplete information administration, and improved decision-making correctness. Web services are classified into four distinct groups: Outstanding, Good, Average, and Poor. These classifications are determined by QoS metrics that include time to response, accessibility, performance, dependability, and success rate. The choice of features is accomplished utilizing an evolutionary algorithm with a wrapper technique with the goal to maximize the effectiveness of this category. This method minimizes the number of repetitive features and improves the method of classification for the purpose of optimization. The resilience and predicted reliability of the algorithm are ensured by additional approaches like as cross-validation and error reduction. These approaches also address difficulties such as overfitting and redundant characteristics. The construction of integrated web services for complicated corporate operations is a particularly valuable use of this technology, which also considerably improves the procedure for making choices for identifying services and consumption. Service 7 stands out with an impressive 98% performance, while Service 6 and Service 3 are also among the top-performing services. Compared to the others, Service 1, Service 2, Service 5, and Service 4 all exhibit comparatively poor results. 2025 2025 01 14 10.54216/AJBOR.120201 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/1/show/3395
