CIRANO: An Integrated Programming Environment for Multi-tier Cloud Based Applications

摘要

This paper describes the CIRANO platform, a cloud Integrated Development Environments (IDE) that substantially supports Model Driven Development (MDD) and team collaboration, in order to facilitate the development of cloud–based applications. The paper presents the state of the art in the field and discusses the technical details of CIRANO architecture and its modular implementation. The main features of the proposed platform are presented as a case study application concerning the update and porting of an existing collaboration system, called Comidor. The paper discusses the findings in comparison with existing tools and proposes extensions of the platform as future work.
