Abstract
Cloud computing is presently playing a significant role in the provisioning of vital
services in information technology. A unique aspect of cloud computing is the cloud
middleware and other related entities which supports applications and networks.
Determining a particular research area especially in terms of cloud middleware and
services at all levels could be a cumbersome process for a researcher, hence the need
for reviews and paper surveys that identify research gaps. The purpose of this paper
was to conduct a systematic mapping study of cloud computing middleware, stacks,
tools and services at all layers. The focus was on three facets of studies, the research
facet, topic facet and contribution facet. The results showed that there were more
publications on tool in the contribution facet with tool, model, method and process
having 18.10%, 13.79%, 6.03% and 8.62% respectively. In addition, evaluation and
solution research had the largest number of articles in terms of tool with 14.17% and
26.77% respectively. A most striking aspect of the systematic map is that solution
research has the highest frequencies of publication in relation to all aspects of the
topics extracted for the study. This study clearly identified gaps in the field of cloud
computing middleware, which should stimulate interest for further studies by both
researchers and industry practitioners.
