“…Note that cloud providers may charge for bulk purchases of resources, much more than a single transaction requires. We scale the costs down to the transaction level, but ongoing research may help overcome obstacles to more fine grained cost accounting and billing [6]. These fine grained costs can be associated with source code which enables static analysis to help us understand how cloud applications incur costs.…”

Cloud computing provides many benefits to users including the elimination of up front infrastructure investment plus lower overall infrastructure costs due to increased resource usage efficiency. Cloud applications can also make use of outside services on demand. Since cloud computing operates on a payas-you-go model, application developers must understand the economics of their software in finer detail. They must understand how much their software costs to run and how much revenue they earn as their software runs. This understanding comes from knowing how the application uses infrastructure and services for which costs accumulate. We explore some fundamental concepts of cloud application economics at the transaction level.

“…This would be similar from a user's perspective to the detection approach since it requires no update to the cloud application. An approach to fine grain billing can be found in [10], and could form the basis for a provider based measurement option.…”

The pay-as-you-go economic model of cloud computing increases the visibility, traceability, and verifiability of software costs. Application developers must understand how their software uses resources when running in the cloud in order to stay within budgeted costs and/or produce expected profits. Scientific workflows often involve data intensive transactions which may be costly. Business and consumer application developers are likely to be particularly sensitive to costs in order to maximize profits. Verification of economic attributes of cloud applications has only been touched on lightly in the literature to date. Possibilities for cost verification of cloud applications include both static and dynamic analysis. We advocate for increased attention to economic attributes of cloud applications at every level of software development, and we discuss some measurement based approaches to cost verification of applications running in the cloud.

Abstract. As a new technology in IT industry, cloud computing has been much focused by both academia and industry. And many topics in cloud computing are under study. However, as one of the most important issue, billing and pricing has been not so much concerned. In this paper, we propose a novel pay-peruse billing model that can be used for the applications in cloud computing. Built based on leasing instances, the model is put forward according to the analysis of the real applications in the cloud computing environment. That is, with the model, the users will be charged totally by the amount of the resources they have used. Simulation results show that the model is correct and feasible.
