SEMANTIC CLOUD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE
The article describes the concept of collaboration, where each organization has its own cloud (clouds), which deals with a different and independent domain, but must work together with other organizations to achieve a specific common goal. From this point of view, a federation is a set of interacting clouds that cooperate with each other through the creation and management of common subsets of resources (computing and storage resources, as well as sensors and actuators). This idea can be put to good use in scenarios where different organizations need to share multiple resources (for example, an emergency response scenario or disaster management). On the other hand, when different independent organizations share their resources, several questions arise. One of them is related to interoperability. Problems. As a consequence, this paper also presents the structure of the life cycle of resources based on ontologies. Thus, the main contribution of this work consists of re architecting the cloud infrastructure from scratch using Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services technology, as well as built in support for any type of federated provisioning. This article uses a flood emergency response system as a motivational scenario.
