Efficient Service Discovery for Cloud Computing Environments

As cloud computing is getting popular, vast numbers of cloud services have been developed in the cloud computing environments. But it is a challenging task to find the relevant or similar cloud services. In this paper, one approach is to develop semantic cloud services where by the cloud services are annotated based on shared ontology, and use these annotations for semantics-based discovery of relevant cloud services. This approach can be efficiently used to retrieve similar or related cloud services in the cloud computing environment.
