Abstract
Harnessing the benefits of cloud computing, demands that a potential
user has adequate access to trustworthy cloud services. Locating resources and
services in a heterogeneous network such as cloud environment may be a tedious
task. The cloud computing is a form of distributed system with a complex aggregation
of computing resources from different domains with different administrative
policies but having immense benefits that could enhance the mode of computing.
Discovering cloud services is complicated by the varied level of quality of service
offered by the different providers, hence a monolithic approach to cloud service
discovery cannot effectively support the cloud environment. This work proposed a
distributive approach to discovering trustworthy cloud services with the use of Multi-
Agents System for achieving intelligent cloud service discovery. Simulation experiments
were carried out and the results showed that extending the Multi-Agents
System approach by integrating trust into the process of cloud service discovery
improves the quality of service in terms of response time and scalability.
