  • Semantic- and preference-based planning of cloud service templates
    Patent number: 8762539
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for evaluating a service based on a request for the service. At least one attribute, having at least one preference parameter, is assigned to at least one generic configuration, the at least one generic configuration comprising at least one resource. A request is received for the service having an assigned quality-of-service-value, and a respective preference parameter value is assigned to each of the at least one preference parameters based on the quality-of-service-value. Furthermore, a combination of the resources is selected based on the request, the combination of the resources forming a selected configuration. Additionally, the selected, configuration is mapped to one of the at least one of the generic configurations and the at least one preference parameter of the at least one attributes of the mapped at least one of the generic configurations is mapped to the selected, configuration.
