Cloud Migration Patterns: A Multi-Cloud Service Architecture Perspective. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Jamshidi, P., Pahl, C., Chinenyeze, S., & Liu, X. (2014). Cloud Migration Patterns: A Multi-Cloud Service Architecture Perspective.

Many organizations migrate their on-premise software systems to the cloud. However, current coarse-grained cloud migration solutions have made a transparent migration of on-premise applications to the cloud a difficult, sometimes trial-and-error base...
