Enabling new generation cloud services with coordinated adaptation

Despite the technological advances of IT Clouds, few efforts have been dedicated to assist the cloud application and services developers during the creation process, that goes from the development to the execution phase with the adaptation of the behavior and the optimized allocation of system resources. The CloudWave EU project, has the objective of contributing to these underdeveloped concepts by introducing a Feedback-Driven Development (FDD) approach during the development and a Coordinated Adaptation (CA) concept to control the execution by adapting the application or service behavior and its cloud environment accordingly to the execution context and condition changes. This paper describes the CloudWave concept as well as its architecture. Similarly, the initial implementation of the project is detailed. Additionally, it is shown how the project can be implemented in the Telco sector and the benefits and advantages that it offers.
