An approach to the semantic intelligence cloud (2018)
Thesis
Greenwell, R. An approach to the semantic intelligence cloud. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1255157

Cloud computing is a disruptive technology that aims to provide a utility approach to computing, where users can obtain their required computing resources without investment in infrastructure, computing platforms or services. Cloud computing resource... Read More about An approach to the semantic intelligence cloud.

A Task Orientated Requirements Ontology for Cloud Computing Services (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Greenwell, R., Liu, X., Chalmers, K., & Pahl, C. (2016). A Task Orientated Requirements Ontology for Cloud Computing Services. In Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER 2016) (121-128). https://doi.org/10.5220/0005752301210128

Requirements ontology offers a mechanism to map requirements for cloud computing services to cloud computing resources. Multiple stakeholders can capture and map knowledge in a flexible and efficient manner. The major contribution of the paper is the...

Cloud computing allows access to computing resources from a number of providers, who offer multiple pricing strategies for selected product characteristics. The service offerings are becoming increasingly complex, with innovations such as spot market... Read More about Pricing Ontology for Task-Oriented Cloud Sourcing.

Semantic description of cloud service agreements (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Greenwell, R., Liu, X., & Chalmers, K. (2015). Semantic description of cloud service agreements. In Science and Information Conference (SAI), 2015 (823-831). https://doi.org/10.1109/sai.2015.7237239

To provide cloud services as a utility there must be a mechanism for comprehensively and precisely specifying cloud service agreements to reduce differences in service perception between customers and suppliers. This paper proposes a description... Read More about Semantic description of cloud service agreements.
