Abstract
Using cloud resources for execution of workflows is common nowadays. However, there is a lack of concepts for flexible integration of workflow management tools and clouds for resource usage optimization. While traditional methods such as running a workflow management tool monolithically on cloud resources lead to over- and under-provisioning problems, other concepts include a very deep integration, where the options for changing the involved workflow management tools and clouds are very limited. In this work, we present the architecture of WFCF, a connector-based integration framework for workflow management tools and clouds to optimize the resource utilization of cloud resources for workflow. Case-based reasoning is used to optimize resource provisioning based on solutions for past resource provisioning problems. The approach is illustrated by real sample workflow’s from the music mastering domain.
