Abstract

In Federated Cloud environment, Cloud service ranking and selection is a very tedious work because of complexion involved Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service specifications. Quality of Service (QoS) expected from Cloud users may be conflicting based on their applications. Cloud Brokers needs to be deal with Cloud users and Federated cloud like a heterogeneous interface. A Cloud Brokers also fulfils many suitable services from available resources. Cloud Broker also choose the federated cloud services based on their rank for available service. Noncommercial and conflicting demands of users evolves Cloud Service Selection a very competitive multi-criteria based service ranking and selection problem. Cloud User requests from different federated clouds based on some preference order of QoS parameters. This preference order converts into individual QoS parameters by assigning suitable weight. The weighted demands are estimated the available QoS values for each cloud service. In the next step, modified VIKOR method is applied for finding the rank of the services. This rank of service is based on preference of QoS parameters. The service with highest rank is selected and provided to the user. We used CloudSim for the testing of this method.
