Complex Service Provisioning in Collaborative Cloud Markets

Evaluating Cloud Services Using Methods of Supplier Selection

“…[18]). Research has dealt with the establishment of new cloud computing markets and new opportunities for collaboration in these markets [5,21,42]. Collaborative services created by employing cloud services of different vendors enforce the selection and evaluation of these services.…”

“…In this context, of late there has been research around emergent software [19], describing systems or software applications that are capable to evolve beyond design-time which allows for new ways of collaboration and combination. [42] illustrate the vision of a global cloud marketplace, also enabling and enforcing the collaboration of different services. In this paper, we take the viewpoint of a cloud service provider or developer and explore possibilities for the evaluation and selection of services that could be used or combined with other, respectively own, services.…”

Quality of service approaches in cloud computing: A systematic mapping study

“…The aim of the metrics model is to determine the resources that need to be allocated and to enable the service provider to be distinguished from competitors providing a similar service. In the second article, Siebenhaar et al [98] presented a method for cloud service provisioning. The proposed method addresses the problem of requesting complex services (i.e.…”

“…The first article ( [97]) was a solution proposal and the second article ( [98]) was a validation study. In the first article, Joshi et al [97] presented a metrics model intended to relate the metrics tracked by consumers to the metrics collected by service providers.…”

Cloud Resource Recycling: An Addition of Species to the Zoo of Virtualised, Overlaid, Federated, Multiplexed and Nested Clouds

“…Service economies are spaces in which supply and demand of services are regulated through open marketplaces on a competitive or collaborative basis (Siebenhaar et al, 2011). Especially for cloud resource services, markets need to compete with flexible real-time options to reach a critical mass of users (Taifi, 2013).…”
