DECIDE was presented in the 1 minute madness & in the inter-cloud cluster at NetFutures 2017. We was also represented it in the SE4SA Cluster (Software Engineering for Services and Applications).

1. DECIDE Project
Leire Orue-Echevarria (TECNALIA)
Brussels, June 28th 2017

2. Facts
GA 731533 (c) DECIDE Consortium 2
1st December 2016 – 30th November 2019
3.6 Million Euros
8 partners from 6 European countries

3. Consortium
GA 731533 (c) DECIDE Consortium 3

4. DECIDE Main Objective
GA 731533 (c) DECIDE Consortium 4
To provide a new generation of multi-cloud
services-based software framework, enabling
techniques, tools and mechanisms to design,
develop, operate, and dynamically (re-)deploy
multi-cloud aware applications in an ecosystem
of reliable, interoperable, and legally compliant
cloud services.

5. DECIDE Target Users
 Multi-cloud Application Developers
 Multi-cloud Application Operators
GA 731533 (c) DECIDE Consortium 5

6. DECIDE Benefits
 DECIDE will develop a DevOps framework that
will support software development companies
in:
❶ enhancing their (multi cloud applications)
development and operations processes,
❷ improving the developers’ and operators’
productivity,
❸ while ensuring the application maintainability,
Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service
(QoS) in its whole life,
❹ and decreasing the time-to-market.
GA 731533 (c) DECIDE Consortium 6

7. DECIDE Context
 Multi-cloud applications with strong NFR, more
specifically, performance, reliability and legal
concerns

DECIDE’s
ARCHITECT
tool supports
the design and
development
process of the
distributed
application
and its
components
OPTIMUS
simulation tool
support s the
selection of the
deployment
topology and the
underlying
selection of the
most suitable
(combination of)
cloud services
DECIDE Multi-cloud
native applications
DevOps framework
[KR1] supports the
definition of this
composite MCSLAs
(Multi Cloud Service
Level Agreement) and
the corresponding SLOs
(service level
objectives)
ADAPT continuously
monitors and assess
the fulfillment of the
established NFR and
MCSLA. If a violation of
any of the former
metrics occurs, the
self-adaptation tool
through the ACSmI will
assess the operation of
the (combination of)
cloud services selected
and discard those that
are affecting the
MCSLA
The application owner
contracts the
corresponding
(combination of) cloud
services (accomplishing
the required MCSLAs)
and deploys the
application over
different clouds
(ACSmI) using the
ADAPT continuous
deployment tool.
