	abstract = {<p>The goal of VISION Cloud, a European Commission funded project, is to design a new scalable and flexible storage cloud architecture able to provide data-intensive storage cloud services. The proposed environment employs a distributed file system on top of a set of storage rich nodes composing a cluster. Several clusters constitute a data center, while multiple geographically distributed data centers form a single storage cloud. In this paper, we focus on a single VISION Cloud storage cluster, providing a stochastic reward net model for an investigation of its availability. The proposed model is a first attempt at obtaining a quantification of the availability level of the cloud storage provided by the VISION Cloud architecture. {\textcopyright} 2013 SCPE.</p>

	abstract = {<p>VISION Cloud is a European Commission funded project, whose aim is to design and propose a new architecture for a scalable and flexible cloud environment. The VISION Cloud reference architecture considers a single cloud as composed by multiple distributed data centers each of which can be composed by a great number of storage clusters. On top of the storage rich nodes forming each cluster, a distributed file system is built. In this paper, we provide an stochastic reward net model for a storage cluster in the context of the storage cloud environment proposed by the VISION Cloud project. The proposed model represents a first step in the direction of obtaining a quantification of the availability level reached through the use of the VISION Cloud proposed architecture from a user perspective. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.</p>
