Cloud Computing is very important aspect for providing various kinds of services. There are many cloud service providers and cloud service consumers. To interact on behalf of both consumers and providers Agents are required. Basically Agent's work is to negotiate with the providers and provide services as required by the consumers. Also, he has to make decisions on behalf of providers in order to determine which service request to accept. This article studies on surveys on Agent based cloud computing that describe various methodology for negotiating with providers and consumers, thereby providing good services that match consumers various requirements and providers specifications.
