“…Thus, when considering governance for CC solutions it is only prudent to think about extending these SOA-related governing approaches. This can start with techniques to address performance (Stantchev & Malek, 2006), composability (Werner, Richling, Milanovic, & Stantchev, 2003) or quality of service (Stantchev & Schröpfer, 2009), move through approaches for self-optimisation of systems (Krallmann, Schröpfer, Stantchev, & Offermann, 2008), particularly by applying replication (Stantchev & Malek, 2008), and also use methodologies for mapping of business requirements to systems (Stantchev, Franke, & Discher, 2009). Thus, several important governance objectives -quality of service, self-optimization, and alignment of business and IT (Petruch et al, 2011) can all be addressed in a CC environment.…”
