Abstract

The BASMATI architecture is designed to improve the service quality perceived by end-users. In particular, it focuses on the support of applications that offer services to mobile end-users, ranging from those crossing national borders to those roaming around locally and who both need access to widely dispersed cloud resources. To achieve this, the architecture of BASMATI is built around the concepts of cloud federation and offloading, embodying both heterogeneous resources of different cloud providers and various computational devices located at the edge of the network with different access policies. The BASMATI architecture leverages intelligent decision support for brokering resources, user mobility modeling, a highly reactive management of applications, and a business-oriented cloud federation logic, to drive the efficient and proactive allocation of services onto proper cloud resources. Within this paper, we describe the architectural requirements and the architecture, overview.
