Imperialist competitive algorithm with PROCLUS classifier for service time optimization in cloud computing service composition

作者：

Highlights：

• CSSICA is proposed to find the lowest service time for cloud composite services.

• PROCLUS is used to divide service providers into 3 categories based on service time.

• Selection probability of categories is calculated using their average service time.

• Utilizing achieved categories CSSICA has been able to make more conscious selections.
