Subject: RE: [saf] SAF Use Cases


Added to Stavros' use case, rather than create my own.
This use case is ripe for describing the cloud provider / consumer negotiation (automated) that could occur via SAF.  Of course... I did not spend the time to flush that out yet.

Not sure we would want to consider "stock price changes" as Symptoms.  If this were a Financial profile, then absolutely.  But, since we are doing a Cloud profile, should probably focus on Symptoms related to IaaS, Paas, and/or SaaS.

[Vaught, Jeffrey A] From Stavros...

===============
Overview

The goal is for the end user/client to integrate (directly or indirectly through a broker) stock market services and combine and analyze data streams. The client will use cloud provider resources to scale up and down as necessary to support high computational demands and elastic storage capacity. Computational demands pertain to the analysis of the combined data streams looking for undervalued combinations of stock prices, hedging opportunities, well priced options, and more.

Symptoms might include the changes in market prices, alerts for very steep changes, changes in commission from the brokers/intermediaries, volatility of currency exchanges, and various other pricing and options related events.

Such events could also be combined with on demand fetching and integration of relevant historical data from static repositories, for data mining and pattern matching to identify other potential revenue sources based on longer term statistical analysis and quantitative models.

Roles

A number of service providers can participate in such use case, some of which might be in the cloud, others more traditional SaaS. These provide services such as querying stock prices, subscriptions to live price feeds, statistical analysis tools, etc.  A cloud service broker might act as the single entry point for the end user.

A cloud provider will provide typical IaaS capabilities.

The end user/cloud consumer can be a trader, hedge fund, or investment firm. The end user makes use of the cloud to accommodate the computational and storage needs, and uses the various service in his application to be deployed in the cloud.

So, the emitters are the various services provided, which could all be part of an integrated PaaS (in which case we have only a single emitter in the PaaS cloud provider??). The diagnostician is (probably?) the user application that provides the catalogue of what needs to be monitored and how to react. The practitioner is the user application or a trading platform which responds to the symptoms emitted by making recommendations on how to proceed in the market.
