A Blockchain-based Trustworthy Cloud Services Digital Ecosystem

The exponential growth of the domain of cloud services globally due to ease of use, cost benefits and flexibility in usage requires increasingly strong and convincing levels of trust on multiple levels. Several risks and issues exist that affect the reliability of the market such as the rogue or phantom clouds, loss of control over data, performance or audit capability. Further-more, frequent variations in exposed interfaces and lack of proper descriptions hinder reliability, interoperability and security of the cloud based applications. The present work aims at entrusting the current Cloud Service domain designing a semantic aware-Market place relying on the Blockchain technology to establish reliable business interactions among the actors.
