Hi,

We are pleased to announce that our recent paper "Model-Driven 
Configuration Management of Cloud Applications with OCCI" was accepted 
at the 8th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services 
Science (CLOSER'18).

Title: Model-Driven Configuration Management of Cloud Applications with OCCI

Abstract: To tackle the cloud-provider lock-in, the Open Grid Forum 
(OGF) is developing the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI), a 
standardized interface for managing any kind of cloud resources. Besides 
the OCCI Core model, which defines the basic modeling elements for cloud 
resources, the OGF also defines extensions that reflect the requirements 
of different cloud service levels, such as IaaS and PaaS. However, so 
far the OCCI PaaS extension is very coarse grained and lacks of 
supporting use cases and implementations. Especially, it does not define 
how the components of the application itself can be managed. In this 
paper, we present a model-driven framework that extends the OCCI PaaS 
extension and is able to use different configuration management tools to 
manage the whole lifecycle of cloud applications. We demonstrate the 
feasibility of the approach by presenting four different use cases and 
prototypical implementations for three different configuration 
management tools.
