Modeling the framework for evaluating the non-functional requirements affecting application efficacy in cloud computing domain

Abstract

Predicting application performance concerning the parameters such as processor, network, memory, and disk needs to be analyzed and the model is to be built up for various non-functional requirements in cloud computing. The NFR include availability, portability, security, reliability, etc. Cloud computing provides a way for provisioning of resources in one of the three ways. The first could be cloud infrastructure, the second could be provider infrastructure or the third could be a combination of both. Specifying NFR and ascertaining the required resources requires a lot of knowledge and therefore the various models are built up in this context. To exploit the cloud computing domain software engineer's needs to quantify various requirements of the application and based on that framework needs to be designed and developed for controlling cloud services at the multiple levels of abstraction. In this paper, we will analyze models evaluating various NFR affecting the efficacy of application in a cloud computing domain. The model could be both working for static as well as dynamic implementation.
