Consumer-centric Adaptive Quality-assured Cloud Services Brokerage

该项目旨在创建一个以消费者为中心的经纪解决方案，用于管理云服务供应。这旨在确保消费者能够在不同云提供商提供的云服务的性能和成本不断变化的情况下，以最具成本效益的方式获得最符合其质量要求的云服务。预期成果是一个新的云经纪框架和相关机制，用于主动识别、预防和调解违反云服务级别协议的行为，以维护云用户的最佳利益。该项目的结果将支持澳大利亚经济中的企业从传统的IT系统转向无处不在的云计算，云计算已被认为是使IT技术在快速变化的世界经济中解决提高生产率和经济增长的社会挑战的核心。

This project aims to create a consumer-centric brokerage solution for managing cloud service provision. This aims to ensure consumers can receive cloud services that best satisfy their quality requirements in the most cost-effective manner in the presence of constant changes in performance and cost of cloud services available from different cloud providers. The intended outcome is a novel cloud brokerage framework and the associated mechanisms for proactive identification, prevention and mediation of cloud service-level agreement violation in the best interest of the cloud users. The findings of the project will support enterprises across Australian economy in shifting from traditional IT systems to the ubiquitous cloud computing that has already been recognised as a core enabling IT technology in addressing the societal challenge of lifting productivity and economic growth in a rapidly changing world economy.
