Cloud computing is getting more popular due to its extraordinary features such as on-demand availability of computing resources and software services. A variety of services have been deployed to offer analogous functionalities. However, the difficulty to identify reliable services has fascinated the attention of researchers. Thus, the trust and reputation concept have been introduced to evaluate the trustworthiness of services over cloud. Most of the existing research works fully trust on service user's feedback rating for ranking cloud services, which may often lead to biasness towards positive and negative feedback rating. To avoid aforementioned issues, this chapter proposes a novel approach to evaluate cloud service reputation along with cloud service reputation evaluation model to discover reliable cloud services. Experimental result shows that proposed approach provides effective solution for prediction of cloud service reputation, which can be helpful in performing reliable service discovery and selection over cloud.

Provider Perspective

One of the most unique forms of contracting is apparent in cloud computing. Cloud computing, unlike other conventional methods, has adopted a different approach in the formation of binding contract that will be used for the governance of the cloud. This method is namely the clickwrap agreement. Click wrap agreement follows a take it or leave it basis in which the end users are provided with limited to no option in terms of having a say on the contract that binds them during the use of cloud services. The terms found in the contract are often cloud service provider friendly and will be less favourable to the end user. In this article, the authors examine the terms that are often found in the cloud computing agreement as well as study the benefit that is entailed in adopting this contracting method. This chapter has undertaken a qualitative study that comprises interviews of cloud service providers in Malaysia. Hence, this study is a novel approach that also provides insight in terms of the cloud service provider perspective regarding the click wrap agreement.

Among the wide range of cloud service providers with different performance characteristics, in order to let the cloud users find cloud services which satisfy its performance preferences and specific trust levels,it needs to establish a reasonable and scientific cloud service trust evaluation system. This paper introduces a membership degree theory into trust evaluation model. First, it designs the trust evaluation system framework of cloud services, and establishes a trust evaluation model of cloud services. Next, it calculates the trust level of cloud services with the comprehensive trust cloud center of gravity evaluation method (CCGE). Finally, the experiment results show that this model can build precise trust relationship between cloud users and cloud services based on users performance demands.

Cloud Service Discovery

This paper proposed a service discovery architecture (SDA) that can be applied in cloud computing environments. This architecture supports common service discovery capabilities to achieve cloud service discovery function in cloud computing environments. The main idea is that, cloud services can be divided into different cloud service domains (CSD) according to the characteristics of the functions of cloud services, each CSD has a sub-service directory, and there is also a root service directory above all sub-service directories. Setting of two-level service directories can achieve the most suitable massive cloud services quickly. Finally, through mathematical modeling, theoretical analyses, and numerical simulations, the performance analyses of the architecture are studied. The results show the validity and advantages of the SDA.

The emergences of cloud computing deals in various internet applications developers for hosting various applications which users are in need in this day to day life.the idea is cloud ontology for easy Selection, Publication and Discovery in cloud services. Query Processing Agent, Ontological Similarities.In this paper, purposal is an cloud service discovery system with ontological model, in order to solve,for example: A job site, It’s not an ordinary jobsite but focusing and specializing in matching the users or clients queries related to jobs and displaying the information even by giving options of updating their information which is needed for this Job Domain. This paper implements the cloud ontology technique to make cloud service discovery system efficient for user query in job site. The aim of this paper is to determine how the CSDS with the Cloud ontology achieved better performance than the CSDS without the Cloud ontology. By consulting a Cloud ontology to reason and to rating about the relations among Cloud services, the CSDS is more successful in locating Cloud services and more likely to discover Cloud services that meet consumers‟ requirements.

Cloud Service Discovery

Cloud computing is one of the most important computing patterns that use a pay-as-you-go manner to process data and execute applications. Therefore, numerous enterprises are migrating their applications to cloud environments. Not only do intensive applications deal with enormous quantities of data, but they also demonstrate compute-intensive properties very frequently. The dynamicity, coupled with the ambiguity between marketed resources and resource requirement queries from users, remains important issues that hamper efficient discovery in a cloud environment. Cloud service discovery becomes a complex problem because of the increase in network size and complexity. Complexity and network size keep increasing dynamically, making it a complex NP-hard problem that requires effective service discovery approaches. One of the most famous cloud service discovery methods is the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm; however, it suffers from a load balancing problem among the discovered nodes. If the workload balance is inefficient, it limits the use of resources. This paper solved this problem by applying an Inverted Ant Colony Optimization (IACO) algorithm for load-aware service discovery in cloud computing. The IACO considers the pheromones’ repulsion instead of attraction. We design a model for service discovery in the cloud environment to overcome the traditional shortcomings. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism can obtain an efficient service discovery method. The algorithm is simulated using a CloudSim simulator, and the result shows better performance. Reducing energy consumption, mitigate response time, and better Service Level Agreement (SLA) violation in the cloud environments are the advantages of the proposed method.

Enterprise level computing constantly investigates novel approaches that maximize their profits and minimize their expenses. With the rapid growth of cloud computing XaaS – ‘anything as a service’, service providers are enabled with the rapid deployment of virtual services to service requestors. Because of the enormous growth in the variety of the services and based on the demand of the virtualized resources, cloud service providers are facing tough competition to facilitate the composite service requests made by the service requestors. QoS (Quality of Service)  is considered to be a preliminary factor while composing a new cloud service out of heterogeneous and distributed atomic services. Therefore service composition is promising area that focuses on the design and development of the automated approaches to deal with diverse phases of service composition techniques that include service discovery, negotiation, service selection and optimization of the atomic services. This paper provides anatomy of  existing studies addressing the problem of cloud service composition that enable to identify intended objectives of the technique along with diverse QoS aware problem solving approaches. Furthermore, the key areas of the improvement in cloud service composition are identified for future research.
