The MODAClouds model-driven development

Abstract

The Cloud computing market encompasses an ever-growing number of providers offering a multitude of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions. In order to exploit the peculiarities of each Cloud solution as well as to optimize performances, availability, and cost, an emergent need is to run and manage multi-Cloud applications [1] (i.e., applications that can execute on multiple Cloud infrastructures and platforms).
