Abstract

The rapid integration of cloud computing and edge computing has brought the cloud-edge environment into the spotlight in information technology. Within this context, the selection of high-quality and reliable services is crucial to meet the needs of users. However, ensuring the reliability of service information is a challenge due to its vulnerability to tampering. This research paper proposes a method for service selection in the cloud-edge environment based on blockchain smart contracts. By leveraging blockchain technology, this method achieves decentralized and trustworthy service selection. Through smart contracts, user interactions are securely recorded, significantly reducing the risk of information tampering and enhancing information reliability. Additionally, the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm is improved for service selection on the blockchain by introducing mutation and crossover operations. Experimental results demonstrate that this method effectively prevents tampering with service information and improves the utility value of selected services compared to traditional methods and metaheuristic algorithms mentioned.
