Multicast Based Service Orchestration Protocol

Cloud computing has become the most attractive technology in distributed computing and a variety of cloud services have been introduced. However, there is still no widely accepted standard format to satisfy cloud service providers and users requests. Consequently, it caused the issue of interoperability among them. This paper proposes a cloud service orchestration protocol based on multicast. This protocol separates the network view of service information and the application view of service information when exchanging service information to support interoperability and it uses multicast at various point of protocol to support scalability. Cloud system may have a lot of services and users to communicate with each other. Hence, there are some needs for effective transfer method and the multicast is one of the ideal solutions for this problem. This protocol helps to interoperate with various cloud services like web services and embedded devices.
