Using Constraint Reasoning on Feature Models toPopulate Ecosystem-driven Cloud Services e-Marketplace

摘要: Service providers leverage cloud ecosystems and e-marketplaces to increase the business value of their services reach a wider range service users. A ecosystem enable participating combine with other services, along QoS properties; while e-marketplace provides an environment where atomic interconnect in unprecedented ways be traded on marketplace platform. Noting unprofitability, impracticality error-prone nature performing ad hoc combination concern addressed this technical report is how guide seamless manner. In report, we proposed use feature models model inter-relationships constraints among which transformed into constraint satisfaction problem off-the-shelve solvers are used determining valid combinations. The collection combinations become blueprint that guides composition populates directory; users can then make selection decisions based list. applicability approach demonstrated via example Customer relationship management as ecosystem.
