Autonomic Workflow Management in Dynamically Federated, Hybrid Cloud Infrastructures

摘要

An autonomic workflow framework may include a federated cloud that includes a plurality of clouds, where each cloud in the federated cloud includes one or more nodes. An autonomic workflow framework may include a workflow manager configured to receive a workflow. The workflow may include a plurality of stages, and the workflow may be associated with a user objective. An autonomic workflow framework may include an autonomic scheduler in communication with the workflow manager. The autonomic scheduler may be configured to provision one or more of the one or more nodes to process the stages to achieve the user objective.
