The growing popularity of cloud, cloud providers and cloud services offered by them puts a challenge for user to select suitable services which meet their customized requirements and also maintaining quality standards for the services taken from provider. The service selection is considered a challenging process because it is not always feasible to provide services as per customized requirements. Various researchers proposed different techniques, framework, approaches and algorithm for helping the user in deciding for the services which can fulfill the requirements. The research paper comprises of exploration of different service selection techniques which are helpful in selecting cloud services. The comparisons among various proposed work of the author are discussed for bringing more clarity in the topic.
