Best Practices for Resource Provisioning Declaration Within the Cognitive Cloud Continuum

Abstract

The evolution of cloud computing, driven by ad-vances in mobile, edge technologies, and AI, has led to the development of the Cognitive Cloud Continuum (COCLCON). However, this paradigm introduces new challenges in managing and optimizing computing resources across a heterogeneous environment. This paper explores best practices for declaring resources within COCLCON, with a focus on efficient resource allocation and transparently declaring available resources by de-vices. In this study, we undertook a non-holistic literature review to identify current technologies used to specify requirements and to determine current gaps in best practices. The main outcome of our work is a proposed schema for Resource Provisioning Declaration, which will allow for increased knowledge related to the available devices and resources within the COCLCON.
