ABSTRACT

The recent surge in cloud computing arises from its ability to provide software, infrastructure, and platform services without requiring large investments or expenses to manage and operate them. Clouds typically involve service providers, Infrastructure / resource providers, and service users (or clients). They include applications delivered as services, as well as the hardware and software systems providing these services. Our proposed framework for generic cloud collaboration allows clients and cloud applications to simultaneously use services from and route data among multiple clouds. This framework supports universal and dynamic collaboration in a multicloud system. It lets clients simultaneously use services from multiple clouds without prior business agreements among (CSP) cloud service providers, and without adopting common standards and specifications.

Keywords: - cloud clients, cloud service provider, applications delivered as services.
