Cloud computing has received significant attention recently as it is a new computing infrastructure to enable rapid delivery of computing resources as a utility in a dynamic, scalable, and visualized manner. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provide a newparadigm in cloud computing, which goal is to provide an effective and intelligent way to support end users’ on-demand requirements to computing resources, including maturity levels of customizable, multi-tenancy and scalability. To meet requirements of on-demand, this research studies and compares different approaches based on an application scenario, service providers receive multiple requests from customers, how to prioritize those service requests to maximize the business values is one of the most important issues in cloud.
