| Abstract | |
Cloud computing is a computational paradigm that has increasingly been used in various sectors of industry and academia. Researchers have been studying how cloud technologies can influence several areas of science and research. In the context of Software Engineering, the researches related to cloud are increasingly increasing. Researchers are studying how to develop better cloud services offerings and how to find a strategy for combining existing resources to build improved services and solve problems. Building cloud systems is a complex task, in the context of the Platform-as-a-Service(PaaS) cloud service model; this activity is further aggravated by cloud platform specificities that can make the task of development repetitive, costly,and platform-specific. Model-driven approaches (MDE) solve some of these issues; they propose that the modeling and transformation mechanisms used to generate code from models are a better way to develop software systems, rather than pure coding. Development with MDE is a comprehensive and relevant research area and needs to be better explored in a wide range of contexts. Therefore, in order to investigate how to combine the benefits of multi-cloud appications aligned to the MDE, we developed a model-driven approach to build multi-PaaS applications.Toward this objective, we performed a case study in collaboration with an industry company.This collaboration allowed the creation of reference implementations that enabled the development of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) and metaprograms that constitute the approach. To evaluate the approach, we performed a case study. The results show that MDE cannot only solve the problem, but also bring additional benefits over traditional systems development approaches. This work explores these benefits, presents a way to combine heterogeneous cloud resources through a service-driven model and application-driven approach. (AU) | |
