Abstract

In a cloud environment, a cloud broker plays a vital role as an intermediary between cloud customers and providers, resolving issues and facilitating negotiations to balance customer preferences and provider profits. Over the past few years, numerous research articles have either directly or indirectly examined this area. Conducting a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) on cloud brokerage is highly motivating as it offers a high-level overview of the research landscape, identifying trends, topics, gaps, and patterns within this dynamic and crucial field. This article presents an SMS conducted to categorize existing research, highlight underexplored areas, and map out the evolution and current state of cloud brokerage, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners. The SMS identified 91 relevant and reputable search spaces (journals and conferences) and 634 high-quality articles published from 2009 to 2022. Furthermore, we formulated and addressed eight significant research questions to clarify various aspects of the cloud broker field. The extracted information from the selected articles is included in a supplementary file, available online, offering valuable insights for research teams and developers interested in this domain.

云经纪人：系统映射研究

在云环境中，云代理作为云客户和提供商之间的中间人发挥着至关重要的作用，它可以解决问题并促进谈判，以平衡客户偏好和提供商利润。在过去几年中，许多研究文章直接或间接地研究了这一领域。对云中介进行系统性摸底研究（SMS）具有很强的推动作用，因为它可以提供研究领域的高层次概览，确定这一充满活力的重要领域的趋势、主题、差距和模式。本文介绍了一项 SMS 研究，该研究对现有研究进行了分类，突出了尚未充分开发的领域，并描绘了云代理的发展和现状，为研究人员和从业人员提供了宝贵的见解。SMS 确定了 91 个相关的知名搜索空间（期刊和会议），以及 634 篇从 2009 年到 2022 年发表的高质量文章。此外，我们还提出并解决了八个重要的研究问题，以澄清云代理领域的各个方面。从所选文章中提取的信息包含在一个可在线获取的补充文件中，为对该领域感兴趣的研究团队和开发人员提供有价值的见解。
