Interoperability standards for cloud architecture.
In: 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science, CLOSER 2013, 8-10 May 2013, Aachen, Germany.
Enabling cloud infrastructures to evolve into a transparent platform raises interoperability issues. Interoperability
requires standard data models and communication technologies compatible with the existing Internet
infrastructure. To reduce vendor lock-in situations, cloud computing must implement common strategies regarding
standards, interoperability and portability. Open standards are of critical importance and need to be embedded into interoperability solutions. Interoperability is determined at the data level as well as the service level. Relevant modelling standards and integration solutions shall be analysed in the context of clouds.
