In-Depth Information
At the moment of designing a new resource, developers could have a full
functional support provided by the platform and a dynamic semantic support. The
developer can choose the deployment model (migration or virtualization) that better
matches the business needs, link the resource to the platforms through concepts from
the shared vocabulary and make available the knowledge required (local ontologies).
Further advantages are provided at the moment to design resources that assume the
coordinated/uncoordinated use of other resources that can be directly managed at high
level.

Conclusions
The convergence between cloud and virtualized solutions in a semantic context
provides improved interoperability capabilities as well as a competitive environment
for resources integration.
The flexibility assured by open models for the knowledge definition and
representation could play a key role in several concrete environments (e.g. Spanish
health system) involving complex virtual organizations.
The power of integrating existent resources (as well as the design of new ones)
directly on the top of an abstracted layer provides a new vision at the cloud and its
exploitation model.
Finally, a semantic layer able to link resources to the global environment
(platform) and to support, at the same time, local knowledge representations could
provide a dynamic support for the effective convergence of dynamic resources in the
cloud.
