Application Lifecycle Kit for Mass Customization on PaaS Platforms

PaaS platforms provide a number of interfaces for software and hardware functions, and applications for them will be developed not from scratch but from combining these verified functions. The interfaces allow various design choices to meet requirements, and also raise complexity in the application production and management. To increase both clients´ satisfaction and providers´ productivity, this paper proposes application lifecycle kit, which embraces both design and operation. The kit stylizes applications´ design models, prototype and resource conventions for runtime, and it can be used as a baseline for new service development and operation, enabling instant production and mass customization.
