Abstract

There is no measurable and evaluable index system for cloud-network convergence that provides guidance and reference for the subsequent construction and development of cloud-network convergence. It is a big project to select and evaluate the indexes of cloud-network convergence, which requires suitable index selection and index evaluation schemes. Based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method, this paper proposes an improved AHP (i-AHP) index selection scheme and index evaluation scheme leveraging the years of experts' experience, the geometric mean and the least square method. The improved weighted least square method (WLSM) is finally proved to be more stable for index evaluation scheme by adding abnormal data. In addition, the index weight obtained by the index evaluation scheme with WLSM are provided as a reference for the future development of cloud-network convergence. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing index evaluation scheme and can avoid the weight deviation caused by the disturbance and fluctuation of abnormal data.
