TLDR
OCNI is presented and evaluated in terms of its ability to integrate smoothly with existing cloud computing interfaces and to provide all the required capabilities to express connectivity requirements and ease connection establishment between cloud computing, network and storage nodes at the virtual and physical level irrespective of underlying transport technologies.Abstract:
This work presents an open cloud interface extension to merge cloud computing and networks into one modeling and representation framework to extend clouds beyond data centers and enable cloud networking to set up distributed cloud infrastructures. The proposed extension to the de facto standard interface in cloud computing (OCCI) is named Open Cloud Networking Interface (OCNI). OCNI is presented and evaluated in terms of its ability to integrate smoothly with existing cloud computing interfaces and to provide all the required capabilities to express connectivity requirements and ease connection establishment between cloud computing, network and storage nodes at the virtual and physical level irrespective of underlying transport technologies.read more

A Model-Driven Tool Chain for OCCI
Faiez Zalila,Faiez Zalila,Stéphanie Challita,Stéphanie Challita,Philippe Merle,Philippe Merle +5 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes the first model-driven tool chain for OCCI, based on a metamodel defining the static semantics for the O CCI standard in Ecore and OCL, and details the tooled process to define an OCCi extension.
OCCIware - A Formal and Tooled Framework for Managing Everything as a Service
TL;DR: The OCCIware project aims at building a comprehensive, coherent while modular model-driven toolchain for managing any kinds of cloud resources, especially Data Center as a Service, Deployment as a service, Big Data as an Service, and Linked Open Data as aService.
