Abstract:
In the Cloud computing era, lots of protocols are proposed to meet
the various requirements requested by the quickly emerging Cloud
applications. However, protocols used to be independently developed
by closed communities. Each protocol proposes its own specifications
and encoding method. Some common functions are repeatedly developed
by different protocols. The way that the protocols used to be
developed significantly prolongs the process that protocols are
brought to the real market.
In order to address these problems, this document proposes GEARS
(Generic and Extensible Architecture for pRotocolS) which provides an
open platform to facilitate protocol innovations. A new protocol
would be developed as an application running on this platform while
those common functions provided by this platform can be reused.
Customized features of this application can be easily built as add-
ons with the friendly and extensible data modeling language.
