Abstract

Though Cloud Computing has found considerable uptake and usage, the amount of expertise, methodologies and tools for efficient development of in particular distributed Cloud applications is still comparatively little. This is mostly due to the fact that all our methodologies and approaches focus on single users, even single processors, let alone active sharing of information. Within this paper we elaborate which kind of information is missing from the current methodologies and how such information could principally be exploited to improve resource utilisation, quality of service and reduce development time and effort.
