RT Conference Proceedings T1 Empowering Services based Software in the Digital Single Market to Foster an Ecosystem of Trusted, Interoperable and Legally Compliant Cloud-Services A1 Alonso Ibarra, Juncal A1 Orue-Echevarria, Leire A1 Escalante, Marisa A1 Benguria, Gorka A2 Cardoso, Jorge A2 Cardoso, Jorge A2 Ferguson, Donald A2 Munoz, Victor Mendez A2 Helfert, Markus AB The software industry has evolved from software on the shelf based applications deployed in dedicated servers , to Software as a service based components running on public or private Clouds and now to Cloud Service Brokers So, Cloud service brokerages have emerged as digital intermediaries in the information technology (IT) services market (Shang, 2013), creating value for cloud computing clients and vendors alike. This paper presents an approach to foster next generation cloud service brokers through an ecosystem of trusted, interoperable and legally compliant cloud services through an added value Cloud Services intermediator. This ecosystem will offer, create, consume and assess trusted, interoperable, and standard Cloud Services, where to (semi-)automatically deploy the next generation service based software applications.
