Nevertheless, Received in revised form a single cloud does not have limitless resources to offer to its users, hence the notion of an Inter-Cloud 16 August 2014 environment where a cloud can use the infrastructure resources of other clouds. However, there is no Accepted 31 January 2015 common framework in existence th
