Improved quality of service-based cloud service ranking and recommendation model

One of the ongoing technologies which are used by large number of companies and users is cloud computing environment. This computing technology has proved that it provides certainly a different level of efficiency, security, privacy, flexibility and availability to its users. Cloud computing delivers on demand services to the users by using various service-based models. All these models work on utility-based computing such that users pay for their used services. Along with the various advantages of the cloud computing environment, it has its own limitations and problems such as efficient resource identification or discovery, security, task scheduling, compliance and sustainability. Among these resource identification and scheduling plays an important role because users always submits their jobs and expects responses in least possible time. Research is happening all around the world to optimize the response time, make span so as to reduce the burden on the cloud resources. In this paper, QoS based service ranking model is proposed for cloud computing environment to find the essential top ranked services. Proposed model is implemented in two phases. In the first phase, similarity computation between the users and their services is considered. In the second phase, computing the missing values based on the computed similarity measures is calculated. The efficiency of the proposed ranking is measured and the average precision correlation of the proposed ranking measure is showing better results than the existing measures
