Abstract: Aneka is a platform for deploying Clouds developing
applications on top of it. It provides a runtime environment and a set
of APIs that allow developers to build .NET applications that leverage
their computation on either public or private clouds. One of the key
features of Aneka is the ability of supporting multiple programming
models that are ways of expressing the execution logic of applications
by using specific abstractions. This is accomplished by creating a
customizable and extensible service oriented runtime environment
represented by a collection of software containers connected together.
By leveraging on these architecture advanced services including resource
reservation, persistence, storage management, security, and performance
monitoring have been implemented. On top of this infrastructure
different programming models can be plugged to provide support for
different scenarios as demonstrated by the engineering, life science,
and industry applications.
