A Trust Evaluation Model for QoS Guarantee in Cloud Systems

Cloud computing is a new paradigm in which dynamically scalable virtualized computing resources are provided as a service over the Internet. However, since resources are limited, it is very important that cloud providers efficiently provide their resources. This paper presents a trust model for efficient reconfiguration and allocation of computing resources satisfying various user requests. Our model collects and analyzes reliability based on historical information of servers in a Cloud data center. Then it prepares the best available resources for each service request in advance, providing the best resources to users. We also carried out experiments for reliability analysis with 4 data types, including an all data set, random data set, recent data set, and the data set within a standard deviation. As a result, using our trust model, cloud providers can utilize their resources efficiently and also provide highly trusted resources and services to many users.
