I chose the Agent-Based Cloud computing article because it makes interest reading, and gives
me the opportunity to learn about the Cloud Computing.

This article is addressing the following problem, since the cloud computing was introduced in
!"#s$ there has been a problem when it comes to cloud service search engine availability.
There%s no speciali&ed standard, open protocols, and search mechanism for discovering a
different kinds of clouds. Consumers who want to find the cloud services have to search
manually.

This problem has been solved before, at least according to these references,

This document follows the Applied 4esearch methodology. *.+. ,im is applying his theoretical knowledge,
which he obviously ac;uired from conducting the Basic research, to solve the cloud problem and presents
his Cloudle architecture.

To solve the problem in the Agent-Based Cloud computing article, Cloudle, cloud search engine has
been designed and implemented. A cloudle is an agent based cloud search engine. It consults cloud
ontology for reasoning bout the relation of search services. It takes re;uirements from the consumer as
input, re;uirements includes functional, technical, and budgetary. Inputs includes operating system
type, C2<, and speed. Cloudle returns a list of cloud service as the output. A cloud crawler used to build
and maintain Cloudle%s database is also designed and implemented.

8ike any other software solutions, Cloudle has its own strength and weaknesses as well,
,trength includes,
. It makes it possible to search for a cloud service
6. It has the web interface, making it accessible anywhere and anytime to the user
=. Cloud service composition can be automated
>eakness includes,
. Comple?ity, as opposed to the general search engine, Cloudle must satisfy three types
of re;uirement, namely, functional, technical, and budgetary
6. +ore cloud service concepts need to be added to cloud ontology for making more
differences when searching for service from the Cloudle
=. Cloud search results cannot be order
