Abstract:
In this article, we propose a review of SoftwareAsset Management (SAM) state of the art and existing tools oriented in the Cloud perspective; it seems that Software identification, through its complete virtualized lifecycle, is a major lock in efficient control. In this context, we propose a model and process architecture to cope with this complexity. We underline innovative graph modeling benefits in this contribution. We use a simple, but vivid example to prove the validity of our model.
