“…Our tool is validated by encoding and automatically verifying, provisioning, and managing the Compute, Network and Storage resources of the OCCI Infrastructure extension. OCCIware Studio also succeeded in managing mobile robots in [24], which proves the ability of our tool chain in managing any kind of resources. As for previous OCCI implementations, our OCCIware Studio can be easily integrated and used with them.…”

Abstract. Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) is the only open standard for managing any kinds of cloud resources, e.g., Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service. However, no model-driven tooling exists to assist OCCI users in designing, editing, validating, generating, and managing OCCI artifacts (i.e., extensions that represent specific application domains and configurations that define running systems). In this paper, we propose the first model-driven tool chain for OCCI called OCCIware Studio. This tool chain is based on a metamodel defining the static semantics for the OCCI standard in Ecore and OCL. OCCIware Studio provides OCCI users facilities for designing, editing, validating, generating, and managing OCCI artifacts. We detail the tooled process to define an OCCI extension. In addition, we show how the cloud user can leverage the generated tooling for this extension to create his own OCCI configurations and manage them in the cloud. We illustrate our paper with the OCCI Infrastructure extension defining OCCI-compliant compute, network, and storage resources.

“…It connects a Compute instance to a Storage instance. 10 To summarize, during the OCCIware research and development project, the proposed OCCIware Metamodel was used to model various OCCI extensions: OCCI Infrastructure [20], OCCI Platform [22], OCCI SLA [23], OCCI Monitoring [24] and some additional proprietary extensions such as Docker [37], simulation [38,39], OMCRI [40], ModMaCAO [41], GCP [42], and Multi-Cloud 13 . Each OCCI extension is implemented as an Eclipse modeling project containing one extension model, which is an instance of OCCIware Metamodel.…”

Cloud computing has emerged as the main paradigm for hosting and delivering computing resources as services over Internet. It provides a delivery model for computing resources at infrastructure, platform, and software levels. However, there is a plethora of cloud providers offering different resource management interfaces. Due to this diversity, the consumption, provisioning, management, and supervision of cloud resources are subjected to four key issues, i.e., heterogeneity, interoperability, integration, and portability. To cope with these issues, Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) is proposed as a community-based and open recommendation standard for managing any kind of cloud resources. Currently, only runtime implementations exist for OCCI, and each one targets a specific cloud service model such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS). Thus, OCCI lacks an approach to model and execute different OCCI artifacts. Our approach provides a generic modeling framework coupled with a generic runtime implementation. In this article, we propose the OCCIware approach, which represents the first approach to design, validate, generate, implement, deploy, execute, and supervise everything as a service with OCCI. This approach provides OCCIware Studio, the first model-driven tool chain for OCCI. It is built around OCCIware Metamodel, which defines the static semantics for the OCCI standard in Ecore and OCL. In addition, it proposes OCCIware Runtime, the first generic OCCI runtime implementation targeting all the cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS). OCCIware provides a unique and unified framework to manage OCCI artifacts and, at the same time, it represents a factory to build cloud domain-specific modeling frameworks where each framework targets a specific cloud domain. OCCIware has been applied in various cloud domains and use-cases, which validate its applicability.• Model-Driven Managing Everything as a Service with OC-CIware. OCCIware is a model-driven vision to manage XaaS.It allows one to model any type of resources. It provides OCCI users with facilities for designing, editing, validating, generating, implementing, deploying, executing, managing, and supervising XaaS with OCCI.• Generating Cloud Domain-Specific Modeling Frameworks with OCCIware. OCCIware is a factory of cloud domainspecific modeling frameworks. Each generated Cloud Domain-Specific Modeling Studio (CDSMS) is dedicated for a particular cloud domain. Each CDSMS can be used to design configurations which conform to its related domain and hides the generic concepts of OCCI.The OCCIware approach is composed of two main components: OCCIware Studio and OCCIware Runtime. OCCIware Studio is the first model-driven tool chain for OCCI [9]. OC-CIware Studio has been built around OCCIware Metamodel. This metamodel represents a precise definition for OCCI [10]. It defines rigourously the static semantics of the OCCI Core Model [7], the core specification of OCCI, by resolving several identified...

Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to enable a myriad of applications by interconnecting objects -such as sensors and robots -over the Internet. IoT applications range from healthcare to autonomous vehicles and include disaster management. Enabling these applications in cloud environments requires the design of appropriate IoT Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IoT IaaS) to ease the provisioning of the IoT objects as cloud services. This paper discusses a case study on search and rescue IoT applications in large-scale disaster scenarios. It proposes an IoT IaaS architecture that virtualizes robots (IaaS for robots) and provides them to the upstream applications as-a-Service. Node-and Network-level robots virtualization are supported. The proposed architecture meets a set of identified requirements, such as the need for a unified description model for heterogeneous robots, publication/discovery mechanism, and federation with other IaaS for robots when needed. A validating proof of concept is built and experiments are made to evaluate its performance. Lessons learned and prospective research directions are discussed.
