Saloon
Participants : Laurence Duchien, Daniel Romero Acero, Lionel Seinturier [correspondant] .
In 2015, Saloon was extended to fit with the requirements of the FP7 PaaSage project (see Section 9.3 ). New mechanisms were added to deal with ontologies for describing cloud computing commercial offers.
Saloon is a framework for the selection and configuration of Cloud providers according to application requirements. The framework enables the specification of such requirements by defining ontologies. Each ontology provides a unified vision of provider offers in terms of frameworks, databases, languages, application servers and computational resources (i.e., memory, storage and CPU frequency). Furthermore, each provider is related to a Feature Model (FM) with attributes and cardinalities, which captures its capabilities. By combining the ontology and FMs, the framework is able to match application requirements with provider capabilities and select a suitable one. Specific scripts to the selected provider are generated in order to enable its configuration. Saloon originates as the output of Clément Quinton PhD thesis [82] .
