Abstract-The cloud computing paradigm introduces new possibilities and challenges for application design and deployment. On-demand resource provisioning, as well as resource and cost elasticity, need to be considered when realizing largescale distributed applications for cloud environments. Current approaches do not sufficiently address the challenges of efficiently architecting and deploying cloud applications in a holistic manner and do not deal with the specific challenges encountered in cloud infrastructures. In this paper we introduce a methodology tackling the practical problems encountered when designing and deploying cloud applications. It enables the structured creation of cloud-native applications, addressing the complete application development lifecycle, from architectural design to concrete deployment topologies provisioned and executed on cloud infrastructure. By using iterative refinement and seamless provenance documentation of decisions made in the process, the methodology eases communication with relevant stakeholders and enables efficient design and deployment of distributed cloud applications.

“…To address these challenges, the contribution of this paper relies on two parts which are integrated into a full-fledged framework. First, we propose the use of a generic component-based framework extensible towards various domain-specific concerns [13]. These concerns are specified by the developer in a flexible way via the use of annotations specializing the architectural artefacts (components, interfaces, bindings), according to the execution contexts required by the application.…”

Many component models and frameworks have been proposed to abstract and capture concerns from Real-Time and Embedded application domains, based on high-level component-based approaches. However, these approaches tend to propose their own fixed-set abstractions and ad-hoc runtime platforms, whereas the current trend emphasizes more flexible solutions, as embedded systems must constantly integrate new functionalities, while preserving performance. In this paper, we present a two-fold contribution addressing this statement. First, we propose to express these concerns in a decoupled way from the commonly accepted structural abstractions inherent to CBSE, and provide a framework to implement them in open and extensible runtime containers. Second, we propose a three-tier approach to composition where application, containers and the underlying operating system are designed using components. Supporting a homogeneous design space allows applying optimization techniques at these three abstraction layers showing that our approach does not impact on performance. In this paper, we focus our evaluation on concerns specific to the field of real-time audio and music applications.

“…However, it has been argued [10] that the vast, and increasing number of proposals to address these domain-specific requirements does not encourage reuse, while sharing common concepts and tooling support. From this observation, we proposed HULOTTE -a prototype framework for the specification and implementation of arbitrary domainspecific concerns in a unified way, which is easily extendable towards different application domains [8]. HULOTTE relies on the generic metamodel presented in Figure 1.…”

Abstract-Software components are used in various application domains, and many component models and frameworks have been proposed to fulfill domain-specific requirements. The ad-hoc development of these component frameworks hampers the reuse of tools and abstractions across different frameworks. We believe that in order to promote the reuse of components within various domain contexts an homogeneous design approach is needed. A key requirement of such an approach is the definition and validation of reusable domain-specific constraints. In this paper we propose an extension to the Hulotte component framework that allows the definition and checking of domain-specific concerns. From the components' architecture to their implementations, concerns are defined and checked in an homogeneous manner. Our approach is illustrated and evaluated through the design of an example component-based application for the multitasking and distributed domains.
