Cloud Computing represents a new trend in the development and
use of software. Many organizations are currently adopting the use of
services that are hosted in the cloud by employing the Software as a
Service (SaaS) model. Services are typically accompanied by a Service
Level Agreement (SLA), which defines the quality terms that a provider
offers to its customers. Many monitoring tools have been proposed to
report compliance with the SLA. However, they have several limitations
when changes to monitoring requirements must be made. In this talk, I
will discuss the challenges involved in cloud monitoring, will present a
monitoring infrastructure that exploits the use of models@runtime to
support both the assessment of cloud services quality and the detection
of SLA violations, and will finally present future research directions.
Silvia Abrahão is Associate Professor of Software Engineering at the
Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) in Spain. She received her
Ph.D. in Computer Science from the UPV in 2004. She has worked on
quality assurance in model-driven engineering and software product line
engineering and on the integration of usability/UX in software
development processes over the past 12 years. She has been awarded with
several grants to support her research work; particularly, she has been
a visiting scientist at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering
Institute (USA) in 2010 and 2012, the Université catholique de Louvain
in 2017 and 2007 and the Ghent University (Belgium) in 2004. She has
leaded several R&D projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science
and Innovation and several industry-sponsored research projects. In
particular, she is currently leading the Value@Cloud project aimed at
providing a framework to support value-driven cloud services
development. She has (co)authored over a hundred and forty papers and
has edited several special issues. She served as General Co-Chair for
ACM/IEEE MODELS 2014.
