“…However, they expose a diverse API resulting in conflicts when an application developer attempts to integrate with one or another. As an example we consider the e-mail service and two service providers, the Amazon Simple E-mail Service (SES) 1 and the SendGrid 2 , an add-on mail service offered via Heroku application platform. Upon the request for sending an e-mail the minimum set of the four following parameters are required: (i) the recipient, (ii) the sender, (iii) the content and (iv) the title of the e-mail.…”

“…Cloud platforms popularity stems from their potential to speed and simplify the development, deployment and maintenance of cloud based software applications. Nevertheless, there is a large heterogeneity in the platforms offerings [1] which can be classified into three clusters. On one cluster application development time is drastically decreased with the use of bespoke visual tools and graphical environments at the expense of a restricted application scope which is usually limited to customer relationship management (CRM) and office solutions.…”

AbstractÑ Cloud application platforms gain popularity and have the potential to alter the way service based cloud applications are developed involving utilisation of platform basic services. A platform basic service is considered as a piece of software, which provides certain functionality and is usually offered via a web API. However, the proliferation and diversification of platform basic services and the available providers increase the challenge for the application developers to integrate them and deal with the heterogeneous providersÕ web APIs. Therefore, a new approach of developing applications should be adopted in which developers leverage multiple platform basic services independently from the target application platforms. To this end, this paper presents a development framework assisting the design of service based cloud applications. The objective of the framework is to enable the consistent integration of the platform services, and to allow the seamless use of the concrete providers by alleviating the heterogeneities among them. The core components of the framework are the reference meta-model, which facilitates the modelling of the platform services and an ontologydriven architecture enabling the description and the abstraction of the providersÕ specific web APIs.

“…The clustering of the cloud platforms has been primarily based upon the adopted technologies and the provisioning of additional platform services either natively or via a service marketplace. From earlier surveys and reports [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13] we find that cloud platform solutions can be clustered into three broad categories:…”

Abstract. The wide exploitation of cloud resources has been hindered by the diversity on the provision of these resources and thus resulting in heterogeneity between them. Research efforts on the design of cloud applications, leveraging resources form heterogeneous cloud environments, have been concentrated on traditional cloud platform resources such as deployment capabilities and data stores. However, the emergence of the cloud application platforms has made available a wide range of platform basic services (e.g. e-mail, message queue and authentication service) that can drastically decrease the application development time. Our work focuses on eliminating the heterogeneity among the providers offering those services. To this end we propose an ontologydriven framework, which facilitates the seamless and transparent use of platform basic services provisioned by multiple clouds environments. Ontologies are leveraged to enable the homogeneous description of the functionality of the service providers.
