One of the fundamental concepts in Grid computing is the creation of Virtual Organizations (VO's): a set of resource consumers and providers that join forces to solve a common problem. Typical examples of Virtual Organizations include…
Resource sharing among users serves as the foundation of cloud computing, which, however, may also cause vulnerabilities to diverse co-residence attacks launched by malicious virtual machines (VM) residing in the same physical server with…
Cloud computing environments demand dynamic and efficient resource management to ensure optimal performance, reduced energy consumption, and adherence to Service Level Agreements (SLAs). This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based…
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…
Rule-based cloud security posture management (CSPM) solutions are known to produce a lot of false positives based on the limited contextual understanding and dependence on static heuristics testing. This paper introduces a validation-driven…
Autonomous agents require the capability to identify dynamic objects in their environment for safe planning and navigation. Incomplete and erroneous dynamic detections jeopardize the agent's ability to accomplish its task. Dynamic detection…
Managing cloud services is a fundamental challenge in todays virtualized environments. These challenges equally face both providers and consumers of cloud services. The issue becomes even more challenging in virtualized environments that…
Cloud monitoring activity involves dynamically tracking the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters related to virtualized resources (e.g., VM, storage, network, appliances, etc.), the physical resources they share, the applications running on…
In cloud computing, network Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are well studied and defenses have been implemented, but severe DoS attacks on a victim's working memory by a single hostile VM are not well understood. Memory DoS attacks are…
This paper proposes an architectural framework for the efficient orchestration of containers in cloud environments. It centres around resource scheduling and rescheduling policies as well as autoscaling algorithms that enable the creation…
The rising use of microservices based software deployment on the cloud leverages containerized software extensively. The security of applications running inside containers as well as the container environment itself are critical…
