Infrastructure Deployment Over the Cloud

With the advent of cloud technologies the scientists have access to different cloud infrastructures in order to deploy all the virtual machines they need to perform the computations required in their research works. This paper describes a software architecture and a description language to simplify the creation of all the needed resources, and the elastic evolution of the computing infrastructure depending on the application requirements and some QoS features.
