Abstract

When interoperability among cloud systems will be fully achieved, a new scenario of business opportunities will open up. The competition among cloud providers will be played on the ground of the QoS to be delivered to customers. Future cloud markets will have to be provided with new tools to help players express their business requirements, and to make the match between what is demanded and what is offered. In this work we propose a semantic model to support the characterization of providers' offers and of customers' requests from a business point of view. Furthermore, a semantic engine was developed to carry on the supply-demand matchmaking. Tests were run on a software prototype to prove the proposed solution's viability.
