Abstract
Cloud computing is both a technological and a business model revolution that capitalised on many long proven technologies. Its ease of use resulted in its wide adoption, and users are increasingly faced with a large choice of cloud services. In this context, we have developed the cloud service research and selection system (CSRSS) that allows users to specify the requirements of the cloud services they want and select those that best meet these requirements. The CSRSS uses an algorithm based on the Skyline and gave some encouraging first results. In this paper, we explore two approaches to improve the performance of the used algorithm and decrease its time complexity by reducing the number of I/O operations necessary to compute the Skyline.
