SLA-Based Trust Model for Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a new form of technology, which infrastructure, developing platform, software, and storage can be delivered as a service in a pay as you use cost model. However, for critical business application and more sensitive information, cloud providers must be selected based on high level of trustworthiness. In this paper, we present a trust model to evaluate cloud services in order to help cloud users select the most reliable resources. We integrate our previous work “conceptual SLA framework for cloud computing” with the proposed trust management model to present a new solution of defining the reliable criteria for the selection process of cloud providers
