Dear Sir/ Madam, Good day, my name is Chong Chun Yong, currently working as a research assistance as well as master degree student at the national university of Malaysia - University of Malaya.
For your information, our University have recently launched a research project title "On demand resource allocation using Cloud Computing". We are currently using VCL as the platform, enabling our university students to perform resource reservation through our private cloud infrastructure. So far our prototype has proven to be successful and we plan to migrate the whole system to a blade server. The part that I am in charge of is to design a software architecture of the entire system in order to migrate our server smoothly. In order to achieve that, I plan to perform an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) test to identify which of the software quality to prioritize in cloud computing environment. It is an undeniable fact that there are no system architecture that capable of fulfill each and every software quality requirement. This is basically due to conflict and trade-off between each software quality attribute. Thus, I would like to perform a questionnaire to formally identify which software quality attribute should be given the highest priority. ** My main purpose for this survey is to identify which software quality to be prioritize in cloud computing environment using VCL as the platform. The survey participant that I am looking for are VCL system administrator as well as VCL developers. I hope that based on the experience of maintaining and improving VCL platform, these group of users able to provide valuable feedbacks in the survey. I would need around 20 participants who had been playing with VCL to conduct this test. The questionnaire would be in the form of pairwise comparison between several software qualities. The questionnaire is fairly simple as the participant would only need to provide score on the compared software quality. Thus, I am hoping that there are developers from the VCL dev list would be kind enough to help me in this survey. I would be really grateful if this test can be conducted smoothly. I will send the questionnaire form upon acceptance of any volunteers. I sincerely hope that my humble request can be accepted. Hope to receive a favorable reply from you soon.
