Cloud computing has gained popularity at a breakneck pace over the last few years. It has revolutionized the way businesses operate by providing a flexible and scalable infrastructure for their computing needs. Cloud providers offer a range of ...

Problems with task distribution in cloud data centers persist despite earlier research in cloud computing (CC). Particularly in the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud paradigm. In cloud data centers, effective task allocation is essential ...

The major cloud computing software companies offer a new concept, on which resources are virtualised to provide these as a service on the internet. Currently, there are multiple service providers, and additional options to virtualise services on-...

The paper aims at mitigating hot-spots during Offline Scheduling in IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) cloud systems. Unlike previous studies, the research focuses on identifying and resolving hot-spots not at servers, but at server ...

• A server rack is a hot-spot if it exceeds the upper bound of power consumption.

Many currently existing cloud cost optimisation solutions are aimed at cloud infrastructure providers, and they often deal only with specific types of application services. Unlike infrastructure providers, the providers of cloud applications are ...

Today, mobile cloud computing is very popular, because of its characteristics, where the cloud computing offers services via the mobile networks. This makes it more attractive to attackers. Many complex attack targets cloud networks are used, such as ...

In Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), the large number of providers and instances combined with the lack of transparency in understanding pricing policies hampers the choice for the best provider-plan-instance combination. An issue less explored by the ...

Cloud computing environments allow businesses to deploy applications in a fast and scalable way. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and container-as-a-service (CaaS) models can be adopted for the deployment of cloud-based applications. The current ...

CloudAnchor is a multi-agent brokerage platform for the negotiation of Infrastructure as a Service cloud resources between Small and Medium Sized Enterprises, acting either as providers or consumers. This project entails the research, design, and ...

The resource provisioning and workflow execution in a multi-cloud environment using a pay-as-you-use framework have recently gained the attention of the cloud computing research community. Scheduling of workflows in the multi-cloud platform is ...$\mathit{}$

Cloud computing has recently attracted significant attention due to its economical and high-quality services. In the last decade, cloud services have inevitably entangled with businesses’ and individuals’ daily lives through products ...

Cloud computing is an on-demand model that computes shared and dynamic resource availability in a remote or independent location. Cloud computing provides many services online to clients in a pay-as-you-go manner. Nowadays, many organizations use cloud ...

Replication increases data availability and reduces access latency in cloud storage. Solutions prioritise system performance over replica production and storage costs. Under a pay-as-you-go model, cloud users incur rising fees for replica storage and ...

The world is changing at a very rapid pace and drastic scale. In today's digital world, businesses are adopting new technologies and going digital in order to survive, keep the business relevant, compete with the world and shape the future. Organisations ...

In Cloud computing deployments, specifically in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model, networking is one of the core enabling facilities provided for the users. The IaaS approach ensures significant flexibility and manageability, since the ...

The IaaS model provides elastic infrastructure that enables the migration of legacy applications to cloud environments. Many cloud computing vendors such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform offer a pay-per-use policy ...

With response to the emerging virtualization trend, we focus on a Virtual Machine (VM) remote attestation process assuming that it is running in an uncontrolled and untrusted cloud infrastructure.

We present a solution that ...

Cloud computing, a novel and promising model of Service-oriented computing, provides a pay-per-use framework to solve large-scale scientific and business workflow applications. Workflow scheduling in cloud is challenging due to dynamic nature of ...$$

Cloud computing provides distributed computing resources such as servers, storage and applications to the end users through data centers. The data centers are geographically located at different locations. The client applications or requests being ...

A complex and important task in the cloud resource management is the efficient allocation of virtual machines (VMs), or containers, in physical machines (PMs). The evaluation of VM placement techniques in real-world clouds can be tedious, complex ...
