Developing an application oriented view of Cloud services instead the current provider ones can lead to a step forward in the adoption of Cloud computing on a larger scale than the actual one. In this context, we present a position paper exposing the concepts behind a recent proposal for an open-source application programming interface and platform for dealing with multiple Cloud computing offers.8enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconference output10.1007/978-3-642-21878-1_70Cloud programming modelCloud-based applicationsFederation of CloudsTheoretical Computer ScienceGeneral Computer Sciencehttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=80051683647&partnerID=8YFLogxK
