Overview
With growing demand and popularity of cloud computing, hundreds of technology companies offer on-demand software and hardware services such as compute power, memory, disk storage, network bandwidth, email services, etc.. Such services are provisioned on negotiated agreement between service providers and consumers. However, given the vast diversity of services and quality criteria (e.g., security, reliability, performance), selection of appropriate cloud services has become one of the most challenging tasks for the cloud consumers.
This research proposes a data science approach towards selection of cloud services. Data science is an interdisciplinary field that involves processing and analysing of large volume of data (big data) and requires expertise from different disciplines, mainly, computer science, mathematics and statistics.
