Investigating the Cloud Computing Business Framework - Modelling and Benchmarking of Financial Assets and Job Submissions in Clouds

Literature identifies three business challenges in clouds: little linkage between qualitative and quantitative cloud business frameworks in the same domain; few structured frameworks to measure cloud business performance and application portability from desktops to clouds, and later on between clouds offered by different vendors. To address these three problems, the authors propose the Cloud Computing Business Framework (CCBF), which contains Financial Cloud Framework (FCF), Middleware Framework (MF) and the other two frameworks.
