The high degree of distribution and heterogeneity in multicloud and federated cloud architectures leads to a massive development and management complexity for application providers. The CrossCloud event series explores the issues around the increasingly relevant field of multicloud and federated cloud systems. This edition of the workshop focuses on the concept of cloud brokering as a means of facilitating the adoption of multicloud architectures by outsourcing the complexity associated with cloud API divergence. More specifically, how could a cloud broker be provided as an intermediate middleware service to different stakeholders, i.e. Broker as a Service (BaaS)?
The objective of the workshop is to foster a lively discussion about the theory and practice of cloud brokers, including an interactive and handson session (cf. design (te)charrette). The desired outcomes are to develop a new collective understanding of the key architectural aspects in this field, to come to a holistic architecture of the cloud broker concept, and to motivate future research agendas.

Configuration management as a multi-cloud enabler
The deployment of applications in hybrid and multi-cloud environments avoids vendor lock-in and reliance on a single cloud provider. The virtual compute infrastructures of IaaS provides enables enterprises to build large scale, geo-graphically ...
SCADAMAR: scalable and data-efficient internet MapReduce
Recent developments of popular programming models, namely MapReduce, have raised the interest of running MapReduce applications over the large scale Internet. However, current data distribution techniques used in Internet wide computing platforms to ...
FederatedCloudSim: a SLA-aware federated cloud simulation framework
Recent developments show that the standardization of cloud service descriptions and exchange leads the way for the rise of cloud federations. In these federations CSPs (cloud service providers) can use resources of other CSPs in the case of a lack of ...
Adaptive decision making in multi-cloud management
The more cloud providers in the market the more information users have to handle to choose the best and suitable option for their application or business. The diversity in cloud services is a challenge for automated decision making in the multi-cloud ...
Preference-based cloud service recommendation as a brokerage service
As the multitude and complexity of cloud services increases, the role of cloud brokers in the cloud service ecosystems becomes increasingly important. In particular, the lack of standard mechanisms that allow for the comparison of cloud service ...
Using power measurements as a basis for workload placement in heterogeneous multi-cloud environments
Distributed data centers for multi-cloud environments usually do not consist of homogeneous hardware as they are not built at the same time by the same owner. Assigning workloads to the most appropriate processing units is therefore a challenging task. ...

Market analysts have foreseen the emergence of cloud brokers in the mediation of cloud services. But rather than focus on current kinds of intermediary role, it is more constructive to consider the kinds of brokerage capability that could be offered in ...
