Cloud computing has been attracting huge attention in recent years. More and more individuals and organizations have been moving their work into cloud environments because of its flexibility and low-cost. Due to the emergence of a variety of cloud service providers, selecting the most suitable cloud service becomes increasingly important for potential cloud users. In prior studies, the selection and comparison of cloud services usually focus on objective performance analysis based on cloud monitoring and benchmark testing without considering the viewpoints of cloud users who are indeed consuming cloud services. This causes a problem that some vital aspects which concern cloud consumers (e.g., privacy and cloud providers’ reputation) are not taken into account in cloud service selection.
