Xj-ASD: Towards a j-ASD DSL eXtension for Application Deployment in Cloud-Based Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an extension of the grammar of an application deployment constraints description language from a cloud computing platform. To do this, we draw a meta data model proposed by [1] for an application deployment in a cloud. This meta model, we extend j-ASD for the consideration of compatibility constraints or conformity between the virtual image data file formats used by the components of the virtual machines and those target sites that are deploying Smartphones, PC, etc. … Indeed for a full deployment of applications from a cloud environment on high mobility rate (Smartphone, PC, etc. …), it occurs to ensure compliance of the data formats of these environments to that of Cloud platform. This conformity proves a prerequisite for deployment on a device from a cloud. To address these compliance constraints, we formalize them in matrix form and propose the use of a constraint solver.
