4CaaSt: Comprehensive management of Cloud services through a PaaS

The 4CaaSt project aims at developing a PaaS framework that enables flexible definition, marketing, deployment and management of Cloud-based services and applications. The major innovations proposed by 4CaaSt are the blueprint and its management and lifecycle, a one stop shop for Cloud services and the management of resources in the PaaS level (including elasticity). 4CaaSt also provides a portfolio of ready to use Cloud native services and Cloud- aware immigrant technologies.

A federated repository for PaaS components in a multi-cloud environment

Cloud computing has seen an impressive growth in recent years, with virtualization technologies being massively adopted to create IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) public and private solutions. Today, the interest is shifting towards the PaaS (Platform as a Service) model, which allows developers to abstract from the execution platform and focus only on the functionality. There are several public PaaS offerings available, but currently no private PaaS solution is ready for production environments. To fill this gap a new solution must be developed. In this paper we present a key element for enabling this model: a cloud repository based on the OSGi component model. The repository stores, manages, provisions and resolves the dependencies of PaaS software components and services. This repository can federate with other repositories located in the same or different clouds, both private and public. This way, dependencies can be fulfilled collaboratively, and new business models can be implemented.

Diseño y desarrollo de un prototipo de solución de backoffice B2C para bienes digitales sobre Heroku PaaS

Dentro del mundo empresarial se denomina backoce a todo lo que ocurre en la empresa que no guarda una relación directa con el cliente. Si concretamos el concepto en el áambito de una empresa de bienes digitales, éste se reduce al cobro de dichos bienes. Por otro lado, en los últimos años se ha producido un gran aumento del interés en torno al desarrollo de aplicaciones en cloud. En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar una prueba de concepto sobre una plataforma de backoce para bienes digitales en cloud. A través de la realización de esta prueba de concepto se han puesto a prueba las supuestas facilidades de estas plataformas cloud para el desarrollo de aplicaciones, y finalmente se ha analizado el ahorro en el time-to-market que se consigue al utilizarlas. Los resultados obtenidos han sido positivos, ya que la solución de backoce ha quedado desplegada en cloud y se ha determinado un gran ahorro en el time-tomarket gracias al uso de una plataforma PaaS como Heroku y las facilidades que esta ofrece. ---ABSTRACT---Inside business world, backoce is known to be everything that happens inside a company that has noothing to do with the customer directly. If we focus on a Digital goods company, the backoce concept gets reduced to charge other hand, These last years Cloud app develop's hype has increased dramatically. That is the reason why this assignment goals are to develop a proof of concept of a digital goods' backoce platform on Heroku. We have also tested the facilities that using these cloud platforms to develop applications is supposed to be. Finally and we have made an assessment about the time to market that we save when using these cloud platforms to develop applications. The results that we have obtained are very positive, because the backoce solution has been successfully deployed on a on the time to market when using a cloud platform.

Pilvipalvelut – PaaS-palvelumalli Microsoft Azuressa

Pilvipalvelut ja niiden käyttö on kasvanut alkukantaisesta konseptista trendikkääksi resurssien ulkoistamiseksi ja siitä edelleen jokapäiväiseksi palveluiden hyötykäytöksi. Pilvipalveluiden kehitys ja palveluntarjoajien kilpailu on saattanut palvelut hyvin tasokkaiksi ja edullisiksi ja saanut pilvipalvelumarkkinat kukoistamaan. Tänä päivänä palveluntarjoajien suuri määrä ja palveluiden erilaisuus antavat palveluita tarvitsevalle hyvän mahdollisuuden löytää ratkaisut hyvin erikoistuneisiinkin tarpeisiin. Pilvipalvelumallit ovat olennainen osa pilvipalveluiden luonnetta, vaikka monia palveluntarjoajista ei voidakaan enää rajoittaa vain yhteen malliin. IaaS-, PaaS-, ja SaaS-palvelumallit edustavat erilaisia pilvipalvelun tasoja täyttäen hyvin erilaisia tarpeita. Tässä tutkielmassa käsitellään erityisesti PaaS-pavelumallia Microsoft Azurea esimerkkinä käyttäen. Azure on erityisen tunnettu PaaS-palveluistaan ja toimii siten hyvänä lähtökohtana tutustuttaessa tähän palvelumalliin. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan pilvipalveluiden piirteitä ja ominaisuuksia ja sitä miten ne ovat vaikuttaneet ja kenties tulevat vaikuttamaan ihmisten suhtautumiseen tietotekniikan saralla. Pilvipalveluiden asiakkaiden on olennaista ymmärtää palveluiden tarjoamat mahdollisuudet, mutta myös niiden rajoitteet ja riskit, jotta he voivat tehdä informoituja päätöksiä omien palvelutarpeidensa suhteen.

Designing business models of cloud platforms

Cloud computing and its three facets (Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)) are terms that denote new developments in the software industry. In particular, PaaS solutions, also referred to as cloud platforms, are changing the way software is being produced, distributed, consumed, and priced. Software vendors have started considering cloud platforms as a strategic option but are battling to redefine their offerings to embrace PaaS. In contrast to SaaS and IaaS, PaaS allows for value co-creation with partners to develop complementary components and applications. It thus requires multisided business models that bring together two or more distinct customer segments. Understanding how to design PaaS business models to establish a flourishing ecosystem is crucial for software vendors. This doctoral thesis aims to address this issue in three interrelated research parts. First, based on case study research, the thesis provides a deeper understanding of current PaaS business models and their evolution. Second, it analyses and simulates consumers' preferences regarding PaaS business models, using a conjoint approach to find out what determines the choice of cloud platforms. Finally, building on the previous research outcomes, the third part introduces a design theory for the emerging class of PaaS business models, which is grounded on an extensive action design research study with a large European software vendor. Understanding PaaS business models from a market as well as a consumer perspective will, together with the design theory, inform and guide decision makers in their business model innovation plans. It also closes gaps in the research related to PaaS business model design and more generally related to platform business models.

Estudo da interação de um begomovírus isolado de tomateiro com a mosca branca

No estudo da interação de um begomovírus isolado de tomateiro (Lycopersicon esculentum) em Anápolis-GO, denominado GO-ANPL (taxonomicamente relacionado ao Tomato rugose mosaic virus, ToRMV) com o vetor Bemisia tabaci biótipo B, determinaram-se o período de acesso de aquisição do vírus (PAA), o período de acesso de inoculação (PAI), o período de latência (PL), a sua retenção e transmissão à progênie. Nos experimentos empregaram-se plantas de tomateiro 'Santa Clara' e cinco insetos por planta. Constatou-se um PAA mínimo de 15 min com o qual 6% dos tomateiros foram infetados. Este percentual aumentou para 65% quando o PAA foi estendido para 24 h. O PAI mínimo foi de 30 min registrando-se 18% de infecção, o qual foi elevado para 67% com 24 h de PAI. Observou-se o término do PL 16 h após o vetor adquirir o vírus. Na detecção do GO-ANPL no vetor via PCR, testes com mais de 2.500 espécimens constataram o vírus em ninfas desenvolvidas em tomateiro infetado, em adultos com diferentes PAAs, mas não em ovos de fêmeas avirulíferas ovipositados em planta infetada. Observou-se a passagem transestadial em 100% dos adultos testados que transmitiram o vírus em 33% dos casos. Evidenciou-se a transmissão à progênie pela detecção do vírus em ovos, ninfas e adultos provenientes de fêmeas virulíferas, contudo, a transmissão do vírus pelos adultos não foi observada. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a interação vírus-vetor é estabelecida desde a fase inicial do desenvolvimento do inseto e podem ser considerados relevantes para os estudos epidemiológicos dos begomovírus associados ao biótipo B de B. tabaci no país.
