METHOD AND ARCHITECTURE FOR THE MOBILITY OF APPLICATIONS IN A DISTRIBUTED CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

摘要

1. A method for moving application-related records (220) between distributed cloud domains (206a-206w) when the user terminal (210) changes its physical location and a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the user terminal (210) is connected to the network (201 ) communication and uses applications (App), the method comprising the steps of: - determining that the location of the user terminal has been changed from at least the first network zone (202) of the communication network (201) to the second network zone (204 ), while the second network zone (204) belongs to either a communication network (201) or another communication network (203); one or more restrictions associated with (i) the location of the user terminal (210) in the second network zone (204) are considered, (ii ) the location of the cloud component (App2) of the application (App) in the first cloud domain (206n) associated with the first network zone (201), and (iii) the location of the second cloud domain (206w) associated with the second network zone (204); - evaluate whether or not one or more constraints are predefined mu condition for the second cloud domain (206w) and the first cloud domain (206n); and - move the entries associated with the application (220) from the first cloud domain (206n) to the second cloud domain (206w) when the result of the evaluation step is positive for the second cloud domain (206w) and negative for the first cloud domain (206n), when in this, the first and second cloud domains (206n, 206w) belong to one or more providers of distributed cloud infrastructure. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: - when the result of the evaluation step is negative for the second cloud domain (206w) and negative for the first cloud
