The current problem of transition to the use of "Cloud Computing" in the process of assessing possible use has been reflected in this study. Assessments of the capabilities of cloud services have been conducted, which are part of a group study of cloud computing as a platform for creating a communication environment in the scientific activities of the Free Economic Zone. The essence of the concept of cloud computing is to provide end users with remote dynamic access to services, computing resources and applications via the Internet. The main possibilities and functions of the information space of scientific communications have been considered. In the process of evaluating the possible use of cloud solutions, the main properties, capabilities and characteristics have also been considered. Web-services based on cloud computing technology in terms of meeting the goals of the scientific community have been analyzed. The most widely used and widely used cloud storage services today that can be used to build a research communication platform are cloud infrastructure providers Google, Amazon and Microsoft. When using the capabilities of these services, favorable conditions are created for the translation of all necessary functions into cyberspace. Today, no more than 37% of domestic organizations actually use cloud technologies to optimize their IT infrastructures, although the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated this process. Experts claim that Cloud Computing opens access to powerful resources, as well as provides a real opportunity to overcome the technological gap that separates Ukraine from more developed countries. With the successful implementation of such a transition, it is possible to organize a platform of communication environment with new features that meet modern requirements for safety and ease of use in scientific activities.

PurposeNowadays, cloud platforms are used in many fields, including e-commerce, web applications, data storage, healthcare, gaming, mobile social networks, etc. However, security and privacy are still two significant concerns in this area. The target of this paper is to present a system for trust management in industrial cloud computing using the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach. MCDM techniques have been developed to accommodate a wide range of applications. As a result, hundreds of approaches have been generated with even minor variations on current approaches spawning new study fields.Design/methodology/approachCloud computing provides a fully scalable, accessible and flexible computing platform for various applications. Due to the multiple applications that cloud computing has found in numerous life features, users and providers have considered providing security in cloud communications. Due to its distributive nature, dynamic space and lack of transparency in performing cloud computing, it faces many challenges in providing security. For security improvement, trust management can play a very influential role. This paper proposes a generic analytical methodology that uses a series of assessment criteria to evaluate current trust management testing prototypes in industrial cloud computing and related fields. The authors utilize a MCDM approach in the present article. Due to the multi-dimensionality of the sustainability objective and the complexities of socio-economic and biophysical processes, MCDM approaches have become progressively common in decision-making for sustainable energy.FindingsThe results of comparing and evaluating the performance of this model show its ability to manage trust and the ability to adapt to changes in the behavior of service providers quickly. Using a simulation, all results are confirmed. The results of simulations and evaluation of the present paper indicate that the proposed model provides a more accurate evaluation of the credibility of cloud service providers than other models.Practical implicationsThe number of cloud services and customers is vast and extremely competitive in cloud environments, where novel cloud services and customers can join at any time, while others can withdraw whenever they want. Because of cloud services' highly dynamic and dispersed design, trust management mechanisms must be highly flexible to obtain feedback and update trust outcomes as quickly as possible. The model presented in this article tries to improve users' trust in the cloud industry.Originality/valueUsing a method (MCDM) to find the best trust management solution based on user experience in industrial cloud computing is the novelty of this paper.

Abstract Cloud computing is a new way of computing and storage. Users do not need to master professional skills, but can enjoy convenient network services as long as they pay according to their own needs. When we use cloud services, we need to upload data to cloud servers. As the cloud is an open environment, it is easy for attackers to use cloud computing to conduct excessive computational analysis on big data, which is bound to infringe on others’ privacy. In this process, we inevitably face the challenge of data security. How to ensure data privacy security in the cloud environment has become an urgent problem to be solved. This paper studies the big data security privacy protection based on cloud computing platform. This paper starts from two aspects: implicit security mechanism and display security mechanism (encryption mechanism), so as to protect the security privacy of cloud big data platform in data storage and data computing processing.

The cloud computing paradigm has the ability to adapt to new technologies and provide consistent cloud services. These features have led to the widespread use of the paradigm, making it necessary for the underlying computer infrastructure to cope with the increased demand and the high number of end users. Platforms often use classical mathematical models for this purpose, helping assign computational resources to the services provided to the final user. Although this kind of model is valid and widespread, it can be refined through intelligent techniques. Therefore, this research presents a novel system consisting of a multi-agent system, which integrates a case-based reasoning system. The resulting system dynamically allocates resources within a cloud computing platform. This approach, which is distributed and scalable, can learn from previous experiences and produce better results in each resource allocation. A model of the system has been implemented and tested on a real cloud platform with successful results.
