Abstract

Cloud computing has become the most influential paradigm in recent years, both in industry and academia. A Cloud provider delivers Cloud services to businesses or individuals. However, each Cloud provider uses its own techniques to describe their Cloud services. It is therefore difficult to compare Cloud offers and then provide the appropriate service to the user. Especially that the Cloud services can provide the same functionalities, but they differ by their quality of service, price, Cloud characteristics, service credibility, and so on. The variety of these techniques is due to the lack of Cloud service description standardization. To deal with such issues, we propose in this paper a Cloud service description ontology that assists the Cloud service publication, discovery and selection processes. The proposed description will be extended from the Linked USDL language to describe Cloud services thanks to its expressiveness by covering four aspects namely technical, operational, business and semantic.
