摘要:
Pieces of hardware on which pieces of software are executed are configured to organize computing resources from different computing resource providers so as to facilitate their discovery. A catalog, which stores instances of cloud computing resources and their providers, and a knowledge base, which stores types of computing resources including rules which reveal their discovery, are formed by the software. A curating method is performed to enable semantic search including searching for cloud computing resources that in combination cooperate to satisfy a workload or a task in addition to having a simple computational function. Semantic indexing is performed to facilitate the semantic search.
