ABSTRACT Cloud computing offers various services, with web services distinguished by their non‐functional attributes like implementation cost, reliability, and availability, which affect solution quality. Combining services to achieve optimal quality is an NP‐hard problem, best tackled with meta‐heuristic algorithms. A review of the literature identified 61 papers from authentic and well‐reputed publications addressing web service composition in cloud environments via such algorithms. This review categorizes these algorithms, evaluated implementation methods, techniques, criteria, and limitations, and compares their effectiveness. Furthermore, it outlines future research directions to enhance solutions for the web service composition challenge in cloud settings.
