VCE is a Cloud framework for exposing virtual appliances as Web services. The VCE follows the Software as a Service (SaaS) model and relies on the concept of virtual appliances to provide a common set of generic interfaces to the user while hiding the details of the underlying software and hardware infrastructure. VCE is the software project leading to my PhD and has been proven to provide a stable core codebase for several European research projects including CPAMMS and VPH-Share. It’s core technology has been deployed and been in service at more than 10 sites in Europe for several years.
