CoMoT -- A Platform-as-a-Service for Elasticity in the Cloud

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) should support the design, deployment, execution, test and monitoring of native elastic systems constructed from elastic service units based on multi-dimensional elasticity requirements. In this paper, we discuss fundamental building blocks for enabling multi-dimensional elasticity programming of software-defined elastic systems. We describe CoMoT, a novel PaaS for elasticity in the cloud that is developed based on these fundamental building blocks.
