TL;DR: This work proposes here a method to build a SRA for clouds defined using UML models and patterns, which goes beyond existing models in providing a global view and a more precise description, and presents a metamodel as well as security and misuse patterns for this purpose.

TL;DR: The authors describe some attacks in the form of misuse patterns, where a misuse pattern describes how an attack is performed from the point of view of the attacker.

TL;DR: In this article, a misuse pattern describes how an information misuse is performed from the point of view of the attacker, it defines the environment where the attack was performed, how the attack is performed, countermeasures to stop it, and how to find forensic information to trace the attack once it happens.

TL;DR: This work is building a catalog of misuse patterns and presents here two of them: Resource Usage Monitoring (complete) and Malicious Virtual Machine Creation (partially).
