A Meta-Analytic Review of Services Composition Methods for Cloud based Medical Applications

Abstract

In the cloud computing model user can access resources according to their requirements as a utility service. The proliferation of cloud computing leads to an increasing demand in service composition (SC) as a single service not comply with all user requirements and its critical need in practical use. Hence SC is a rapid paradigm maximizing the opportunities for reusing essential services for various medical applications. This paper addresses the various heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms that have been utilized for the aforementioned prototype. Challenges faced during this research are identified.
