From October 2012 to September 2015, the MODAClouds project was working on the idea of a model-driven approach for the design and execution of applications on multiple clouds. With funding from the European Commission, the project brought together various technology companies from throughout the old continent under the coordination of Politecnico di Milano.
Improving the agility of cloud-based ecosystems was the project's maxim until it was completed in September 2015. To achieve its main objective, MODAClouds sought to provide methodology, open source IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics or the electronic interface that mediates between the computer's buses and disk storage devices) and a runtime environment for a high-level design and rapid prototyping through generating semi-automatic code and automatic deployment of applications in multiclouds with guaranteed quality of service.
Approaching development from models, risk analysis and qualitative prediction allows developers to specify models that are independent from their cloud-based service provider. These are enriched with quality parameters, monitoring applications in runtime and the subsequent possibility of improvement based on feedback.
This project has consequently managed to patch up the historical failure between design and runtime, while providing data and synchronization mapping techniques between multiple clouds.
In short, the innovations offered by the project can be reduced to three:
– Simplifying the choice of cloud-based service provider favoring the rise of European clouds.
– Avoiding relying on a single provider through the development of future Internet-enabled applications for the cloud.
– Providing quality assurance to the applications in its lifecycle, while facilitating migrations between different clouds.
This list of advantages will be of most benefit to SMEs. For them to be able to implement it a compendium of tools has been published to guide developers online across the cloud. This compendium shows the technological advances of the MODAClouds project while allowing developers to solve the most common problems that arise when trying to develop services based on cloud ecosystems.

An API is a very useful mechanism that connects two pieces of software equipment to exchange messages or data in a standard format such as XML or JSON. Thus, it becomes an instrument that can be used to search for revenue, open the doors to talent or innovate and automate processes.
APIs can be a great support when automating business processes Companies, often with a focus on SMEs, spend too many man-hours on time-consuming business processes, thereby making mistakes that a machine would never make. How can business process automation (BPA) help these companies? Is it possible to make use of APIs for BPA? What is […]
Ecommerce has continued to grow steadily in Spain, except during the pandemic, which has already been overcome in terms of online shopping. Ecommerce has been making inroads among the Spanish for over two decades. In 2000, it was a marginal and niche activity. Now it is almost universal. Almost all Spaniards with internet access shop online […]
