Abstract In a cloud environment, consumers search for the best service provider that accomplishes the required tasks based on a set of criteria such as completion time and cost. On the other hand, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) seek to maximize their profits by attracting and serving more consumers based on their resource capabilities. The literature has discussed the problem by considering either consumers’ needs or CSPs’ capabilities. A problem resides in the lack of explicit models that combine preferences of consumers with the capabilities of CSPs to provide a unified process for resource allocation and task… More >

Abstract Many businesses have experienced difficulties in selecting a cloud service provider (CSP) due to the rapid advancement of cloud computing services and the proliferation of CSPs. Many independent criteria should be considered when evaluating the services provided by different CSPs. It is a case of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). This paper presents an integrated MCDM cloud service selection framework for determining the most appropriate service provider based on the best only method (BOM) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). To obtain the weights of criteria and the relative importance of… More >
