Cloud-based applications operate within service-oriented architectures, dynamically integrating multiple components from various services to execute discrete application logic. This environment relies heavily on Web services, both from the perspective of the user and the service provider, making service selection and trust critical factors. A User Reputation Model addresses this challenge by offering a framework for service providers to make informed decisions based on user profiles, usage ratings, and cumulative reputation scores.

​

This research proposes an enhanced filtration approach utilizing cumulative separation based on tags and popularity estimation to improve accuracy in service ranking and recommendation. By incorporating collaborative filtering, feedback rating mechanisms, matrix factorization techniques, and Quality of Service (QoS) metrics, we aim to refine reputation modeling and improve service selection and trust management within dynamic cloud ecosystems.

​

The study evaluates the effectiveness of reputation-based filtering by leveraging real-world datasets, implementing tag-based profiling, and computing cosine similarity measures to assess user preferences. Through comprehensive experimental analysis, we examine how weighting user tags can reduce sparsity issues in traditional filtering models, thereby enhancing the reliability of user-resource collaborative filtering systems.
