Cloud computing with its three key facets (i.e., IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) and its inherent advantages (e.g., elasticity and scalability) still faces several challenges. The distance between the cloud and the end devices might be an issue for…
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…
The current Cloud infrastructure services (IaaS) market employs a resource-based selling model: customers rent nodes from the provider and pay per-node per-unit-time. This selling model places the burden upon customers to predict their job…
IoT paradigm exploits the Cloud Computing platform to extend its scope and service provisioning capabilities. However, due to the location of the underlying IoT devices which is far away from the cloud, some services cannot tolerate the…
Serverless computing with cloud functions is quickly gaining adoption, but constrains programmers with its limited support for state management. We introduce a shared file system for cloud functions. It offers familiar POSIX semantics while…
