example case was solved using the proposed model,
demonstrating its use and results of its adoption.
Future work includes testing the proposed model
for larger problems (more than 100 provider and more
PIs) and with realistic settings (real providers and real
data), as well as the creation of a cloud computing
selection framework with multiple selection methods
that incorporates this DEA method. Also, it is
expected to improve the model in order to handle
qualitative PIs.
