Abstract

In cloud computing, service providers develop and deploy services with common and reusable features among various applications, service consumers locate and reuse them in building their applications. Hence, reusability is a key intrinsic characteristic of cloud services. Services with high reusability would yield high return-on-investment. Cloud services have characteristics which do not appear in conventional programming paradigms, existing quality models for software reusability would not applicable to services. In this paper, we propose a reusability evaluation suite for cloud services, which includes quality attributes and metrics. A case study is presented to show its applicability.

클라우드 컴퓨팅에서 서비스 제공자들은 다양한 어플리케이션들 중에서 재사용 특징과 공통성을 고려하여 개발하고 배포하며 서비스 사용자들은 어플리케이션을 구축하기 위해 서비스를 찾고 재사용한다. 그러므로 재사용성은 클라우드 서비스의 중요한 본질적인 특성이다. 서비스의 재사용성이 높으면, 투자대비 높은 수익을 올릴 수 있다. 클라우드 서비스는 기존의 소프트웨어 재사용성을 위한 품질모델은 전통적인 프로그래밍 패러다임에 나타나지 않는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 서비스 평가에 적용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 서비스 재사용성을 평가하기 위해 품질속성과 메트릭이 포함된 평가모델을 제시한다. 사례연구에서는 평가모델을 적용한 사례를 보여준다.
