A multi-criteria design scheme for service federating inter-cloud applications

A new scheme of service oriented architecture for federating services provided by multiple clouds as one application is introduced. Service federating inter-cloud application configuration requires selecting a set of services from various clouds such that the user preferences and constraints are satisfied. This configuration process is defined as a multi criteria design problem with posterior articulation of preferences. An efficient scheme for the configuration of a service federating inter-cloud application is also presented. The experimental results prove the feasibility of our new scheme.
