Title
FOCAPLAS - A platform for cloud application development and running support.
Abstract
Cloud computing is changing the utilization environments of computers in both enterprise and personal. Application development techniques and methodologies that are suitable to cloud environments are new challenging research topics. As demand for developing business applications is increasing rapidly and commercial profitability is dependent on decreasing the application development costs, it is essentially important to provide methods meeting the requirements of developing applications with low cost and short development time. Therefore, it is required to develop new methods facilitate the cloud application development based on easy-to-accomplish and end-user-composition. In this work, we compiled seven requirements of typical business application development such as data structure, database schema, page transition control, authorization, session management, programming, and input and output interface design. Furthermore we observe that none of current cloud development environments support a majority of these requested features. As a result, we present our own cloud application development platform, called FOCAPLAS that meets all of these requirements. A case study presenting a cloud application developing process is presented demonstrate how to use our FOCAPLAS. We believe that our requirements may serve as a valuable guide for cloud data modeling and our FOCAPLAS will be a useful platform for cloud application development.
