Cloud computing allows shared computer and storage facilities to be used by a multitude of clients. While cloud management is centralized, the information resides in the cloud and information sharing can be implemented via off-the-shelf…

Recent years have seen a trend towards decentralisation - from initiatives on decentralized web to decentralized network infrastructures (e.g community networks). In this position paper, we present an architectural vision for decentralising…

The idea of a social cloud has emerged as a resource sharing paradigm in a social network context. Undoubtedly, state-of-the-art social cloud systems demonstrate the potential of the social cloud acting as complementary to other computing…

Cloud elasticity - the ability to use as much resources as needed at any given time - and low cost - a user pays only for the resources it consumes - represent solid incentives for many organizations to migrate some of their computational…

Enterprises are driving towards less cost, more availability, agility, managed risk - all of which is accelerated towards Cloud Computing. Cloud is not a particular product, but a way of delivering IT services that are consumable on demand,…

As cloud computing services rapidly expand their customer base, it has become important to share cloud resources, so as to provide them economically. In cloud computing services, multiple types of resources, such as processing ability,…

Cloud platform came into existence primarily to accelerate IT delivery and to promote innovation. To this point, it has performed largely well to the expectations of technologists, businesses and customers. The service aspect of this…

Even with the vast potential that cloud computing has, so far, it has not been adopted by the consumers with the enthusiasm and pace that it be worthy; this is a very reason statement why consumers still hesitated of using cloud computing…

Cloud computing is the next stage of the internet evolution. It relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence on a network. It is emerged as new computing standard that impacts several different research fields, including software…

The Web is becoming more and more a wide software framework on which each one can compose and use contents, software applications and services. It can offer adequate computational resources to manage the complexity implied by the use of the…

Business Intelligence (BI) has gained a new lease of life through Cloud computing as its demand for unlimited hardware and platform resources expandability is fulfilled by the Cloud elasticity features. BI can be seamlessly deployed on the…

In recent years, Cloud Computing has transformed local businesses and created new business models on the Internet- and Cloud services are still flourishing. But after the emphatic hype in the early years, a more realistic perception of…

The deployment of business critical applications and information infrastructures are moving to the cloud. This means they are hosted in large scale data centers with other business applications and infrastructures with less (or none)…

As billions of devices get connected to the Internet, it will not be sustainable to use the cloud as a centralised server. The way forward is to decentralise computations away from the cloud towards the edge of the network closer to the…

Development of cloud computing enables to move Big Data in the hybrid cloud services. This requires research of all processing systems and data structures for provide QoS. Due to the fact that there are many bottlenecks requires monitoring…

Millions of users across the world leverages data processing and sharing benefits from cloud environment. Data security and privacy are inevitable requirement of cloud environment. Massive usage and sharing of data among users opens door to…

Cloud sovereignty can no longer be defined by data residency or infrastructure location alone. Under conditions of geopolitical disruption, legal exposure, and expanding service boundaries, sovereignty must be understood as enforceable…

Cloud services today are increasingly built using functionality from other running services. In this paper, we question whether legacy Quality of Services (QoS) metrics and enforcement techniques are sufficient as they are producer centric.…

Cloud computing as a potential paradigm offers tremendous advantages to enterprises. With the cloud computing, the market's entrance time is reduced, computing capabilities is augmented and computing power is really limitless. Usually, to…

Cloud computing is an opened and distributed network that guarantees access to a large amount of data and IT infrastructure at several levels (software, hardware...). With the increase demand, handling clients' needs is getting increasingly…
