Our described approach is both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’; we begin by summarizing existing studies on the cloud market, and review how the EASI-CLOUDS project partners are positioned on the cloud value chain. We review emerging trends, concepts, business models and value drivers in the cloud market, and present results from a survey targeted at top cloud bloggers and cloud professionals. We then review how the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure components create value both directly and by facilitating brokerage and federation. We then examine how cloud market opportunities can be grasped through different business models. Specifically, we examine value creation and value capture in different generic business models that may benefit from the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure. We conclude by providing recommendations on how the different EASI-CLOUDS demonstrators may be commercialized through different business models. © EASI-CLOUDS Consortium. 2 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Table of contents Table of contents ...........................................................................................................................

  • A Survey of Collaborative Tools in Software Development
    1 INTRODUCTION A Survey of Collaborative Tools in Software Development Anita Sarma Institute for Software Research Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences University of California, Irvine [email protected] ISR Technical Report # UCI-ISR-05-3 March 22, 2005 1 Introduction Collaboration is at the heart of software development. Virtually all software devel- opment requires collaboration among developers within and outside their project teams, to achieve a common objective. It has in fact been shown that about 70% of a software engineer’s time is spent on collaborative activities [219]. Indeed, col- laboration in software development has been studied by researchers in the fields of Software Engineering and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) since the 1980s and has produced a wide range of collaborative tools. Enabling software developers to collaborate effectively and effortlessly is a difficult task. The collaboration needs of the team depend to a large extent on environmental factors such as, the organizational structure of the team, the domain for which the software is produced, the product structure, and individual team members. Accordingly, research in collaborative development has produced a host of tools, each typically focussing on a different aspect of collaboration. Most teams have their favorite repertoire of tools that has been built from historical use. These tools may not always be the best suited for the team, but the team still uses them nevertheless as the inertia and cost of trying out new tools surpasses the benefits. A number of classification frameworks exist that can be used to classify collaborative tools. In addition to placing the various tools in context, developers can use these frameworks to select the right mix of tools fit for their needs.

  • A Comparative Study of Current Open-Source Infrastructure As a Service Frameworks
    A Comparative Study of Current Open-source Infrastructure as a Service Frameworks Theo Lynn, Graham Hunt, David Corcoran, John Morrison and Philip Healy Irish Centre for Cloud Computing, Dublin 9, Ireland Keywords: Cloud Computing, Open Source, IaaS, Openstack, Cloudstack, Opennebula, Eucalyptus. Abstract: With the growth of cloud computing in recent years, several commercial and open source IaaS frameworks have emerged. The development of open source IaaS solutions offers a free and flexible alternative to commercial cloud services. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a qualitative comparative of current open-source IaaS frameworks. Existing research papers examining open source IaaS frameworks have focused on comparing OpenStack with a small number of alternatives. However, current research fails to adequately compare all major open source frameworks in a single study and notably lacks the inclusion of CloudStack. Our research paper provides the first overview of the five main open source cloud IaaS frameworks – OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus and Nimbus. As such, this review provides researchers and potential users with an up to date and comprehensive overview of the features of each solution and allows for an easy comparison between the open source solutions. 1 INTRODUCTION the freedom to modify the source code and build a cloud that is pluggable and open to extensions while Cloud Computing technologies have seen significant reducing costs and avoiding vendor lock-in (Zhang adoption in recent years by enterprises, researchers et al., 2013; Wen et al. 2012; Bist et al., 2013).

Terms like “distributed enterprise” are no longer enough to describe the new enterprise after cloud and mobile revolutions have changed the rules. Now, the mobile work force counts for the majority of the users and this has direct consequences on how data are created, accessed and have to be managed. It’s probably better talking about the “dispersed enterprise”. Users work on many different devices at the same time, continuously switching from one device to another, and hence document workflows have dramatically changed. Data are accessed from everywhere at anytime by single users and teams: collaboration platforms, starting from file sharing solutions, are fundamental layers of any modern organization.
