Cloud services composition through semantically described patterns: A case study

Abstract

With the proliferation of Cloud services and the huge number of Cloud offers currently available in the IT market, it can be difficult for customers to understand which one fits their need. Patterns, if correctly applied to the design and development of Cloud applications, can ease programmers’ burden and reduce errors and bugs in application implementation. In this paper we use a methodology, based on the semantic representation of Cloud patterns, Cloud services and applications, to support users in developing Cloud oriented software meeting their explicit requirements.
