Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a Serverless Cloud paradigm where a platform manages the execution scheduling (e.g., resource allocation, runtime environments) of stateless functions. Recent developments demonstrate the benefits of using…
The web ecosystem is rapidly evolving with changing business and functional models. Cloud platforms are available in a SaaS, PaaS and IaaS model designed around commoditized Linux based servers. 10 billion users will be online and accessing…
Today, a paradigm shift is being observed in science, where the focus is gradually shifting toward the cloud environments to obtain appropriate, robust and affordable services to deal with Big Data challenges (Sharma et al. 2014, 2015a,…
In this paper, we examine the problem of a single provider offering multiple types of service level agreements, and the implications thereof. In doing so, we propose a simple model for machine-readable service level agreements (SLAs) and…
New generations of distributed systems are opening novel perspectives for logic programming (LP): on the one hand, service-oriented architectures represent nowadays the standard approach for distributed systems engineering; on the other…
The global economic recession and the shrinking budget of IT projects have led to the need of development of integrated information systems at a lower cost. Today, the emerging phenomenon of cloud computing aims at transforming the…
We study the problem of maximizing the average hourly profit earned by a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider who runs a software service on behalf of a customer using servers rented from an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider. The…
In recent years, extensive research has been conducted in the area of Service Level Agreement (SLA) for utility computing systems. An SLA is a formal contract used to guarantee that consumers' service quality expectation can be achieved. In…
Serverless computing has made it easier than ever to deploy applications over scalable cloud resources, all the while driving higher utilization for cloud providers. While this technique has worked well for easily divisible resources like…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms and "serverless" cloud computing are becoming increasingly popular. Current FaaS offerings are targeted at stateless functions that do minimal I/O and communication. We argue that the benefits of…
Decision taking can be performed as a service to other parties and it is amenable to outtasking rather than to outsourcing. Outtasking decision taking is compatible with selfsourcing of decision making activities carried out in preparation…
Cloud computing is significantly reshaping the computing industry built around core concepts such as virtualization, processing power, connectivity and elasticity to store and share IT resources via a broad network. It has emerged as the…
Cloud computing is a new paradigm and innovation in the technology service delivery. It is utilized for IT-enabled value creation. The capex-free nature of cloud service delivery renders it very attractive to many SMEs. But it is saddled…
Serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a popular cloud paradigm to quickly and cheaply implement complex applications. Because the function instances cloud providers start to execute user code run on shared infrastructure, their…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are moving from customized deployments in specific domains towards generic solutions horizontally permeating vertical domains and industries. For instance, decisions on when to perform maintenance…
During the last few years, the explosion of Big Data has prompted cloud infrastructures to provide cloud-based database services as cost effective, efficient and scalable solutions to store and process large volume of data. Hence, NoSQL…
Service-oriented computing has emerged as the new area to address software as a service. This paper proposes a model for component based development for service-oriented systems and have created best practice guidelines on software…
Serverless computing has emerged as a very popular cloud technology, together with its companion Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model enabling invocations of stateless functions from clients. An evolution of serverless is now…
Direct-satellite-to-device (DS2D) communication is emerging as a promising solution for global mobile service extension, leveraging the deployment of satellite constellations. However, the challenge of managing DS2D connectivity for…
Cloud computing is a paradigm that has the potential to transform and revolutionalize the next generation IT industry by making software available to end-users as a service. A cloud, also commonly known as a cloud network, typically…
