Problem Definition: Allocating sufficient capacity to cloud services is a challenging task, especially when demand is time-varying, heterogeneous, contains batches, and requires multiple types of resources for processing. In this setting,…

Supercomputing systems today often come in the form of large numbers of commodity systems linked together into a computing cluster. These systems, like any distributed system, can have large numbers of independent hardware components…

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,…

Cloud computing systems promise to offer subscription-oriented, enterprise-quality computing services to users worldwide. With the increased demand for delivering services to a large number of users, they need to offer differentiated…

The new era of computing called Cloud Computing allows the user to access the cloud services dynamically over the Internet wherever and whenever needed. Cloud consists of data and resources; and the cloud services include the delivery of…

In current cloud computing systems, when leveraging virtualization technology, the customer's requested data computing or storing service is accommodated by a set of communicated virtual machines (VM) in a scalable and elastic manner. These…

Resilience in optical networks has traditionally relied on redundancy and pre-planned recovery strategies, both of which assume a certain level of disaster predictability. However, recent environmental changes such as climate shifts, the…

Allocating resources in a distributed environment is a fundamental challenge. In this paper, we analyze the scheduling and placement of virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud platform of SAP, the world's largest enterprise resource planning…

A non-invasive, cloud-agnostic approach is demonstrated for extending existing cloud platforms to include checkpoint-restart capability. Most cloud platforms currently rely on each application to provide its own fault tolerance. A uniform…

Cloud Computing emerges from the global economic crisis as an option to use computing resources from a more rational point of view. In other words, a cheaper way to have IT resources. However, issues as security and privacy, SLA (Service…

Optimal resource utilization for executing tasks within the cloud is one of the biggest challenges. In executing the task over a cloud, the resource provisioner is responsible for providing the resources to create virtual machines. To…

Edge computing is the practice of placing computing resources at the edges of the Internet in close proximity to devices and information sources. This, much like a cache on a CPU, increases bandwidth and reduces latency for applications but…

In this article we look at the potential of cloud containers and we provide some guidelines for companies and organisations that are starting to look at how to migrate their legacy infrastructure to something modern, reliable and scalable.…

The vulnerability of cyber-physical systems to cyber attack is well known, and the requirement to build cyber resilience into these systems has been firmly established. The key challenge this paper addresses is that maturing this discipline…

Cloud computing is a revolutionary process that has impacted the manner of using networks. It allows a high level of flexibility as Virtual Machines (VMs) run elastically workloads on physical machines in data centers. The issue of placing…
