The research project aims to develop a novel and unique framework for a sustainable and efficient cloud service market. It aims at providing cloud consumers with the best set of tools to outsource tasks to cloud providers that meet their own economic model for costs savings, and QoS requirements over a period of time. The project also aims at empowering cloud providers with a novel framework to advertise their services and taking advantage of the economies of scale to maximize their profit.
This research centers on the development of a novel QoS-based cloud service composition framework for both cloud end-users and cloud service providers.
