Cloudle: A Multi-criteria Cloud Service Search Engine

An agility-oriented and fuzziness-embedded semantic model for collaborative cloud service search, retrieval and recommendation

“…4 demonstrate the extensions AoFeCSO achieved in contrast to other existing models (i.e. [8,9,10,11,12,31]). …”

“…Most of the existing models solely or largely focus on clarifying the numerical data attributes of compute cloud services [10,11,12]. In contrast, AoFeCSO employs data properties for much wider specifications.…”

“…Existing models [4,8,9,10,11,12,32] tend to ignore the many relationships among cloud computing concept. Firstly, the interoperability between CSPs and cloud services is often inexplicitly expressed.…”

“…III) The recommendation functions consider the fuzziness occurred in cloud service specifications; this enables a clearer view of the small differences between similar cloud services through more precise service recommendation ratios. Unified business and cloud service ontology [9] FCFA [10] CoCoOn [11] Cloud ontology [12] Cloud Ontology [32] Business ontology [56] AoFe-CSO IaaS cloud entities and properties Additionally, as Table 5 summarizes, the proposed approach is able to capture and present extended service specifications from a variety of aspects, e.g. to show multiple service model information, explaining granular details of service attributes, revealing service attribute connections, and processing fuzzy service specifications.…”

“…Nevertheless, most of the models are primarily designed to work for certain limited service categories: e.g. infrastructure services [10,11,12,32], platform services [9,56] and software services [8,34]. FCFA [10], for instance, is a hierarchical federated resource exploration and sharing framework model which drives federated cloud cooperation and eliminates interoperability issues among independent organizations and providers.…”
