Abstract

Testing is a vital component of the system development life cycle. As information systems infrastructure move from native computing to cloud-based and virtualized platforms, it becomes necessary to evaluate their effectiveness to ensure completion of organizational goals. However, the complexity and scale of virtualized environments make this process difficult. Additionally, inherited and novel issues further complicate this process, while relatively high costs can be constraining. Enabling service-driven environments to provide this evaluation is therefore beneficial for both providers and users. No such complete service offering currently exists. This paper is therefore aimed to benefit industry and academia involved in areas involved with cloud-based testing of virtualized software and its environments. A review of current literature highlights a number of challenges in the domain. An analysis of the challenges aided in deriving requirements for developing a servitization framework for virtual infrastructure testing as a service. It is anticipated that this framework can further feedback into developing solutions to the aforementioned challenges. An evaluation of a real-world organization's servitization requirements case scenario indicates that the proposed framework provides potential solutions for associated use cases.

Abstract

Utility Computing is one of the most discussed business models in the context of Cloud Computing. Service providers are more and more pushed into the role of utilities by their customer's expectations. Subsequently, the demand for predictable service availability and pay-per-use pricing models increases. Furthermore, for providers, a new opportunity to optimise resource usage offers arises, resulting from new virtualisation techniques. In this context, the control of service quality and profit depends on a deep understanding of the representation of the relationship between business and technique. This research analyses the relationship between the business model of Utility Computing and Service-oriented Computing architectures hosted in Cloud environments. The relations are clarified in detail for the entire service life cycle and throughout all architectural layers. Based on the elaborated relations, an approach to a delivery framework is evolved, in order to enable the optimisation of the relation attributes, while the service implementation passes through business planning, development, and operations. Related work from academic literature does not cover the collected requirements on service offers in this context. This finding is revealed by a critical review of approaches in the fields of Cloud Computing, Grid Computing, and Application Clusters. The related work is analysed regarding appropriate provision architectures and quality assurance approaches. The main concepts of the delivery framework are evaluated based on a simulation model. To demonstrate the ability of the framework to model complex pay-per-use service cascades in Cloud environments, several experiments have been conducted. First outcomes proof that the contributions of this research undoubtedly enable the optimisation of service quality and profit in Cloud-based Service-oriented Computing architectures.

Abstract

The proliferation of ubiquitous sensing technology is bringing a rising number of the innovative models that have unique characteristics of the utility computing. These models have offered great opportunities to improve IT industries and business processes through the convergence of cloud computing and internet of things (IoT). Although this convergence establishes seamless intelligent interaction among physical and virtual entities, it has difficulty not only to meet the required level of quality of service(QoS) but also to satisfy the user's complex demands. As a result, the predisposition to create a dynamic service-oriented environment has become a fundamental design issue. The main objective of this study is to introduce a dynamic QoS provisioning framework (QoPF) for service-oriented IoT using backtracking search optimization algorithm (BSOA). The QoPF framework is proposed to maximize the composite service quality in IoT application layer by making a balance between service reliability and acceptable cost of the computational time. The effectiveness of the QoPF framework is evaluated using a number of performance metrics such as throughput, delay time, and jitter. The experimental results demonstrate that worthiness of the QoPF to meet QoS requirements more than other state-of-the-art techniques in the literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Enabled by advances in grid and network computing architectures for the delivery of on-demand computing services, the vision of an e-services economy in which computing will be as ubiquitous as a utility is becoming a possibility in business computing. Major firms in the computing industry such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun Microsystems are focusing on agility and flexibility of computing resources and gearing up for their own versions of on-demand computing and information technology (IT) outsourcing solutions. The successful introduction of these new computing models requires the development of appropriate pricing mechanisms that are consistent with the enabling technologies. Our paper introduces the notion of contingent auctions to address this lacuna. In contingent auctions, users bid for computing resources in an auction, but are relieved from the contract (paying a penalty) if demand is not realized. We study different mechanisms--ranging from an advance commitment (capacity reservation) to no commitment (pay-as-you-go)--under demand uncertainty. We consider markets in which the demand for computing is uncertain and, moreover, users' value of computing and demand realization may be related. We show how the different levels of commitment affect prices, revenues, and resource utilization under different market conditions. Our results reiterate the need to address the availability-commitment dichotomy in the design of business models for on-demand computing and IT outsourcing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Years and years of technological advancement have paved the way to cloud computing towards Industry 4.0, making it possible for a wide range of cloud solutions to become a reality, bringing innovation and efficiency to business processes and changing our lifestyles. With the benefit of hindsight in a fully digitalized era, have we ever wondered where does cloud computing come from? Furthermore, as the on-premise commercial model shifted to cloud computing with the advent of the internet, what will the increase in worldwide connectivity and the rise of 5G turn the cloud model into? This article describes in a model for a new commercial grid computing implementation, called "ByteNite". We open the paper with the state of the art of the distributed computing models, including an overview of cloud and grid computing, their commonalities and history, and how they are topical in today’s world. We build the foundations of our work through a key insight that triggers powerful implications in connection with the current technologies. We address the new proposed model through a description of the system, its overall functioning, the underlying business concepts and the innovative value proposition. We finally then dive into its architecture and workflow design, delineating its structure and key features, and the chronological phases of its operation., OASIcs, Vol. 107, 14th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 12th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2023), pages 1:1-1:12

Abstract

A computer cloud is a target-rich environment for malicious individuals and criminal organizations. A cloud faces several types of security threat: traditional ones, threats related to system availability, and threats related to third-party data control. Virtually all surveys report that security is the top concern for cloud users, who are accustomed to having full control of all systems where sensitive information is stored and processed. Users typically operate inside a secure perimeter protected by a corporate firewall. In spite of the potential threats, users have to extend their trust to the cloud service provider if they want to benefit from the economic advantages of utility computing. Chapter 9 starts with an in-depth discussion of security, privacy, and trust in the cloud computing context. Operating system security and virtual machine security are analyzed next. Security of virtualization, the security risks posed by shared images and by a management OS, are the topics of the next sections. An overview of Xoar, a system designed to break the monolithic structure of the Trusted Computing Base (TCB), is followed by a survey of a trusted virtual machine monitor.

Abstract

This article reports on the readiness for cloud computing in several financial services institutions from the Pietermaritzburg region. Cloud computing is viewed as being a disruptive technology, and there are real benefits for the adoption of this paradigm for service delivery. The study on which this article reports, investigated whether or not these small organisations are ready to take advantage of this technology. The researcher developed an initial framework for readiness, then interviewed three decision-makers - one from each organisation - and organised the data generated into a revised model for readiness. It has emerged that awareness and trust are key factors for these organisations. Counter-intuitively, cost saving has less of an influence than expected. There is limited literature in this specific context; this article therefore forms an initial basis for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Cloud computing is a constantly evolving archetype since web 2.0. Though it’s a popular IT buzzword and concepts are derived from decade old grid computing, distributed computing, utility computing and intensive application computing. It offers a broader range of services such as virtual machines (VMs), servers, storage devices, operating systems (OS),network resources over the internet to its users on ‘pay-for-usage’ basis. Dynamic group data sharing were users anonymously share his/her data with other group members over cloud could compromise security hence there is need to design an efficient, secure data sharing in dynamic group. Hence, this review paper presents various problems and challenges in designing an effective dynamic group data sharing. The problems and challenges are classified based on Client based and service provider based were client-based problems includes user authentication, user privacy and security, data confidentiality & integrity and query cost and service provider based problems includes user’s identity & traceability, user revocation, energy efficiency and performance. Based on the challenges, researchers have proposed and developed various protocols, management and control mechanisms under data security, access control, query grouping and energy efficiency headings which is briefly summarised in this review to help future researchers in developing efficient, security data sharing schemes in cloud environment.

Abstract

Virtual machine (VM) migration is a process of migrating VMs from one physical server to another. It provides several benefits to a data center in a variety of scenarios including improved performance, fault tolerance, manageability load balancing and power management. However, VM’s migration leads to performance degradation and service-level agreement (SLA) violations which cannot be ignored, particularly if critical business goals are to be met. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for VM’s placement and migration that considers different users quality of service requirement, in order to decrease energy consumption and SLA violations due to under utilization of data centers. The proposed work mainly focuses on a novel heuristics-based energy-aware resource allocation to allocate the user’s tasks in the form of cloudlets to the cloud resources that consumes minimal energy. In addition to that, it is incorporated with load balancing and constraint-based scheduling mechanism. The proposed work is implemented using the service-oriented-based architecture, and the same has been simulated using the CloudSim toolkit. In this paper, we compared our work with non-power-aware (NPA), dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), single-threshold (ST) policies and minimization migration policy (MMP). The experiment results indicate that our approach saves about 83% of power comparing to the NPA system and 77% comparing to a system that apply only DVFS. However, if we compare these algorithms, which allow dynamic consolidation of VMs such as ST, it saves 53%, and finally, if we compare to MMP, it saves power between 22 and 38%. Similarly if we compare number of VM migration comparing to ST, it reduces 23 and 73% compared to MMP polices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

30. Cloud vs Fog: assessment of alternative deployments for a latency-sensitive IoT application.

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) smart places are systems composed of sensors, actuators and computing infrastructure that acquires data about the surrounding environment and uses that data to improve the user experience of the smart place. For instance, RFID readers can detect a tag approaching and, after the event is processed in a dedicated server, open a door automatically. Many IoT applications are latency-sensitive because actions need to be done in a timely manner. To meet this requirement these applications are usually provisioned close to the physical place, which represents an infrastructure burden because it is not always practical to deploy a physical server at a location. Utility computing in the Cloud can solve this issue but the latency requirements must be carefully assessed. Fog computing is a concept that brings the cloud close to devices at the edge of the network, aiming to provide low latency communication for applications and services. The present work implemented a provisioning mechanism to deploy a “smart warehouse” IoT application according in utility computing platforms: Cloud and Fog. We compared the event latency performance of both approaches and the results show that a fog deployment is more adequate for the considered IoT application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Cloud computing is pictured as the next-generation technology. It is a web-based technology where quality services are provided to users including data and software, on remote servers. Cloud computing is just like as called Data outsourcing as an outsider gives storage services to the client. There is producing good result for the customers without costing a lot of money for equipment and programming for information storage. Cloud computing eliminates the need of having a complete infrastructure of software and hardware to meet clients requirements and applications. It can be thought of or considered as an entire or an incomplete outsourcing of hardware and software resources. To access cloud applications, a fast Internet connection and a standard Internet browser are required. It offers an on-demand and scalable access to a shared pool of resources hosted in a data Centre at providers' site. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In hybrid LRU algorithm was built to execute parameterized priority queue using Least Recently Used model. It helped to determine the object in an optimum mode to remove from cache. Experiment results demonstrated ~30% decrease of the execution time to extract data from cache store during object cache extraction process. In the era of modern utility computing theory, Serverless architecture is the cloud platform concept to hide the server usage from the development community and runs the code on-demand basis. This paper provides Hybrid LRU algorithm by leveraging Serverless Architecture benefits. Eventually, this new technique added few advantages like infrastructure instance scalability, no server management, reduced cost on efficient usage, etc. This paper depicts about the experimental advantage of Hybrid LRU execution time optimization using Serverless architecture.
