A technology to expose a cluster as a service in a cloud
Michael Brock, Andrzej M Goscinski · 2010
Clouds refer to computational resources (in particular, clusters) that are accessible as scalable, on demand, pay-as-you-go services provided in the Internet. However, clouds are in their infancy and lack a high level abstraction. Specifically, there is no effective discovery and selection service for clusters and offer little to no ease of use for clients. Here we show a technology that exposes clusters as Web services in the form of a Cluster as a Service for publishing via WSDL, discovering, selecting and using clusters.
