Abstract
The Cloud Service Market has evolved into a complex landscape
that challenges the decision making of users as they develop their
purchasing process. In particular, we explore the case of cloud infrastructure
(IaaS) providers as an example of heterogeneous variety of purchasing
options and discounts; this variability represents an important
drawback during the decision making process where there is a need to
compare and select the best option. In this work, we define a common
model to describe purchasing models from different providers taking into
account such heterogeneity. This purchasing model represents a first step
towards the automated support of decision making problems during the
purchasing process. In order to illustrate our approach we apply the
model in a real case study of IaaS purchasing.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2012-32273Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2014-53986-REDTJunta de Andalucía TIC-5906Junta de Andalucía P12--TIC--186
