  Cloud computing has emerged as an important paradigm for managing and
delivering services efficiently over the Internet. Convergence of cloud
computing with technologies such as wireless sensor networking and mobile
computing offers new applications of cloud services but this requires
management of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters to efficiently monitor and
measure the delivered services. This paper presents a QoS-aware Cloud Based
Autonomic Information System for delivering agriculture related information as
a service through the use of latest Cloud technologies which manage various
types of agriculture related data based on different domains. Proposed system
gathers information from various users through preconfigured devices and
manages and provides required information to users automatically. Further,
Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm has been used for efficient resource allocation
at infrastructure level for effective utilization of resources. We have
evaluated the performance of the proposed approach in Cloud environment and
experimental results show that the proposed system performs better in terms of
resource utilization, execution time, cost and computing capacity along with
other QoS parameters.
