Some Cloud Computing providers offer this specific hardware so that organizations can rent such resources. However, outsourcing the whole application to the Cloud causes avoidable costs if only some parts of the application benefit from the specific expensive hardware. A partial execution of applications in the Cloud is a tradeoff between costs and efficiency. This paper addresses the demand for a consistent framework that allows for a mixture of on- and off-premise calculations by migrating only specific parts to a Cloud. It uses the concept of workflows to present how individual workflow tasks can be migrated to the Cloud whereas the remaining tasks are executed on-premise.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GerhardsSanderBelloum2013, author = {Gerhards, Michael and Sander, Volker and Belloum, Adam}, title = {Seamlessly enabling the use of cloud resources in workflows}, series = {Cloud Computing 2013 : The Fourth International Conference on Cloud Computing, GRIDs, and Virtualization : May 27 - June 1, 2013 - Valencia, Spain}, booktitle = {Cloud Computing 2013 : The Fourth International Conference on Cloud Computing, GRIDs, and Virtualization : May 27 - June 1, 2013 - Valencia, Spain}, publisher = {Curren}, address = {Red Hook, NY}, organization = {International Conference on Cloud Computing, GRIDs, and Virtualization <4, 2013, Valencia>}, isbn = {978-1-61208-271-4}, pages = {108 -- 114}, year = {2013}, language = {en} }
