Cloud computing decision-makingusing a fuzzy AHP approach

Abstract

he increasing number of cloud service users renders it critical for firms to select cloudservice suppliers that suit all company business strategies and goals. From the literaturereview, we found a lack of research addressing the interdependence of decision criteria. Inthis study, we address this crucial research gap by presenting an integrative research modelthat combines fuzzy logic theory and the analysis hierarchy process (AHP). We use thismodel to holistically evaluate cloud providers focused on PaaS and IaaS withpredetermined criteria. The simulation results reveal a correlation between decisioncriteria, and cloud provider performance is found to vary considerably
