An ontology based cloud service generic search engine

Cloud Computing has become a popular technology for delivering various services over internet. Many IT giants such as Amazon, Google, racks pace, and so on advancing their cloud services by integrating new technologies in to the cloud technology to provide wide variety of services to users. But these providers have different cloud service descriptions and non-standard naming conventions. As a result cloud service identification and discovery mechanism becomes difficult. This issue has been addressed in the proposed work by constructing an cloud ontology based on cloud services and their attributes. Cloud ontology based brings various Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) services under standard name conventions. Our proposed work also covers developing a generic search engine for searching cloud services. The keywords of the query are ordered based on cloud ontology and the ranking is based on the service attributes.
