A Novel Model for Recommending Information Systems with Suitable Cloud Computing Provider

Abstract

Cloud computing has been adopted widely by information systems due to its scalability and availability of resources and services. Cloud computing can provide different types of services through internet for Information Systems (IS). There are many cloud computing providers such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM are seeking for adopting of cloud services. Selecting the suitable cloud provider can maximize the benefits of cloud services. There is a need to determine the suitable cloud computing provider to achieve organizations' goals and maximize the benefits of cloud services. This work aims to introduce a decision support model based on trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers for determining the suitable cloud computing provider. The proposed model is applied by the Zagazig University (ZU) and the results indicated that the model can provide flexible method that can handle uncertainty in decision making for detecting the suitable provider. Also, the results show that the proposed model can support information systems in the choosing the suitable cloud computing provider.
