Abstract

Cloud computing is considered the new paradigm in computing that would make computing a utility. Once the cloud computing becomes available widespread, many service providers would market their services at different qualities and prices. When this happens, the customers would be required to select the right service provider who could meet their anticipated quality. A trust management system would identify the quality of service providers and help customers to choose the right provider. Designing a trust management system is a difficult task, as it requires the consideration of several attributes both local and external to the system. In this paper, the authors propose that the Bees Algorithm that was used to solve issues in diverse fields could be successfully adapted to address the trust issue in the cloud computing system. The authors justify their proposition based on the comparative study carried out on cloud computing and the bees environments.
