Integrating intelligent agent and ontology for services discovery on cloud environment

With the advance of cloud computing, cloud service providers (CSP) provide increasingly diversified services to users. To utilize general search engine, such as Google, is not an effective and efficient if the services are similar but with different attributes. Therefore, an intelligent service discovery platform is necessary for seeking suitable services accurately and quickly. In the paper¹, we propose a framework that integrates intelligent agent and ontology for service discovery in cloud environment. The framework contains some agents and mainly assists users to discovering suitable service according to user demand. User can submit his flat-text based request for discovering required service. We implement a cloud service discovery environment to demonstrate the concept and its application. We also utilize the Recall and Precision to evaluate the accuracy of the system.
