Many business organizations use cloud infrastructures as platforms on which to deploy business applications. Increasing numbers of vendors are supplying the cloud marketplace with a wide range of cloud products. Different vendors offer cloud products in different formats. The cost structures for consuming cloud products can be complex. Finding a suitable set of cloud products that meets an application’s requirements and budget can be a challenging task. In this paper, an ontology-based resource mapping mechanism is proposed. Domain-specific ontologies are used to specify high-level application’s requirements. These are then translated into high-level infrastructure ontologies which then can be mapped onto low-level descriptions of cloud resources. Cost ontologies are proposed for cloud resources. An exemplar media transcoding and delivery service is studied in order to illustrate how high-level requirements can be modeled and mapped onto cloud resources within a budget constraint. The proposed ontologies provide an application-centric mechanism for specifying cloud requirements which can then be used for searching for suitable resources in a multi-provider cloud environment.展开更多

The AoA yields the recommended alternative from a set of viable alternatives for the investment decision. This paper presents an integrated AoA and project management framework for analyzing new or emerging alternatives (e.g., Cloud computing), as may be driven by an information system strategy that incorporates a methodology for analyzing the costs, benefits, and risks of each viable alternative. The case study in this paper, about a business improvement project to provide public health and safety services to citizens in a US Federal agency, is a practical application of this integrated framework and reveals the benefits of this integrated approach for an investment decision. The decision making process in the framework—as an integrated, organized, and adaptable set of management and control practices—offers a defensible recommendation and provides accountability to stakeholders.展开更多
