“…Generally speaking, such problems do not own a unique optimal solution, so a decision maker needs to use his/her preferences to differentiate between various solutions.

“…Based on the quality of service (QoS) consideration, a user may evaluate some attribute value as criteria to select a reasonable software service from various candidates. According to the various issues of interest, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) helps user to select a reasonable software service from huge number of candidate software services [6]. A multi-criteria decision analysis is an approach which structures and solves the multi-dimensional and complicated problems, especially the decision and planning problems involving multiple criteria.…”

Abstract. In software as a service (SaaS) model, application market provides various software services for users to access. However, large amount of software services are difficult to choice because of few attributes and incomplete description to illustrate their functionality. Besides, the fetch results from application market may not match user preference and waste user much time to get the desired software service. In this work, we propose an approach to improve software service searching effectiveness in an application market. Several advanced techniques are enforced. Information retrieval technology analyzes the description of a software service to get its key concepts. The association rule mining technology discovers the hidden association between various software service key concepts. The relationships of software service key concepts and discovered association rules are built a semantic network to connect relevant key concepts of software services. After configuring the software service attributes for quality of service consideration, the multi-criteria decision analysis is used to get the ranking order of the candidate software services. The software services key concepts, discovered association rules, semantic network, and multi-criteria decision analysis approach are built a recommendation system. User gets the reasonable software service based the ranking order of candidates from the recommendation system. We hope the proposed approach facilitates user to get the software service effectively in a popular application market.

“…User feedback regarding a negotiating process can be represented as a utility function reflecting the satisfaction a user reports after using an authorized e-service [11]. The user provides such a utility function [5][6] before committing to use an authorized e-service. Therefore, the user's utility function can be applied to the monitoring information in order to evaluate the authorized e-service's QoS.…”

“…The purpose is to support decision makers facing such problems. Typically, since a unique optimal solution does not exist for such problems, it is necessary to use a decision maker's preferences to differentiate solutions [5]. Therefore, a multi-criteria decision analysis is required to formulate the selection order of the various candidate authorized eservices.…”

The information technology industry designs various e-services based on the fast delivery, powerful computing and large storage capacity of cloud computing systems. Specifically, the service provider develops e-service markets within a cloud computing environment with which to provide the e-services. The use of information technology, insofar as helping people obtain reasonable e-service, provides challenges to innovative service providers. In this work, we propose an adaptive e-service for linking users and the cloud services. Our work is based on user profile, specifically, on a role-based access control model with which to identify the user and assign a specific role. A user with a specific role is then authorized to access the various e-services in the cloud computing environment. Then, the utility function and multi-criteria decision analysis model are deployed to optimize the e-service selection with regard to various cloud services. Our aim is that the proposed adaptive e-service will be able to assist people in obtaining e-services in cloud environments.

The progress of information and communication technologies (ICT) has promoted the development of healthcare which has enabled the exchange of resources and services between organizations. Organizations want to integrate mobile devices into their hospital information systems (HIS) due to the convenience to employees who are then able to perform specific healthcare processes from any location. The collection and merage of healthcare data from discrete mobile devices are worth exploring possible ways for further use, especially in remote districts without public data network (PDN) to connect the HIS. In this study, we propose an optimal mobile service which automatically synchronizes the telecare file resources among discrete mobile devices. The proposed service enforces some technical methods. The role-based access control model defines the telecare file resources accessing mechanism; the symmetric data encryption method protects telecare file resources transmitted over a mobile peer-to-peer network. The multi-criteria decision analysis method, ELECTRE (Elimination Et Choice Translating Reality), evaluates multiple criteria of the candidates' mobile devices to determine a ranking order. This optimizes the synchronization of telecare file resources among discrete mobile devices. A prototype system is implemented to examine the proposed mobile service. The results of the experiment show that the proposed mobile service can automatically and effectively synchronize telecare file resources among discrete mobile devices. The contribution of this experiment is to provide an optimal mobile service that enhances the security of telecare file resource synchronization and strengthens an organization's mobility.
