Abstract:
In this paper, we present a framework for easy integration of existing software solutions in a cloud environment. We aim to allow software providers to offer their products in the Cloud through a common web portal. Central in the framework is workflows, where independent software solutions can be chained together to solve the users tasks in a unified way. One of the main challenges addressed here, is facilitating workflows spanning multiple software vendors and cloud solutions. The framework is validated by a range of experiments, consisting of both software vendors and end users, from the context of manufacturing industries, and offer unique and ubiquitous access to integrated workflows.
