The recent emergence of the small cloud (SC), both in concept and in practice, has been driven mainly by issues related to service cost and complexity of commercial cloud providers (e.g., Amazon) employing massive data centers. However, the…

As a cost-effective option for Cloud consumers, spot service has been considered to be a significant supplement for building a full-fledged market economy for the Cloud ecosystem. However, unlike the static and straightforward way of…

It is becoming common practice to push interactive and location-based services from remote datacenters to resource-constrained edge domains. This trend creates new management challenges at the network edge, not least to ensure resilience.…

We consider how underused computing resources within an enterprise may be harnessed to improve utilization and create an elastic computing infrastructure. Most current cloud provision involves a data center model, in which clusters of…

Caching at the network edge has emerged as a viable solution for alleviating the severe capacity crunch in modern content centric wireless networks by leveraging network load-balancing in the form of localized content storage and delivery.…

A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources over widely dispersed places exemplified by initiatives like Network Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for a widespread service deployment and can…

Network virtualization and programmability allow operators to deploy a wide range of services over a common physical infrastructure and elastically allocate cloud and network resources according to changing requirements. While the elastic…

There is a rapidly growing interest in the use of cloud computing for automotive vehicles to facilitate computation and data intensive tasks. Efficient utilization of on-demand cloud resources holds a significant potential to improve future…

In large scale smart edge networks, computation resource is generally underutilized due to the uneven distribution of computation resource in time and space domain. This may correspond to a simple fact that no device is capable for…

Low latency communication is one of the fundamental requirements for 5G wireless networks and beyond. In this paper, a novel approach for joint caching, user scheduling and resource allocation is proposed for minimizing the queuing latency…

Amazon EC2 provides two most popular pricing schemes--i) the {\em costly} on-demand instance where the job is guaranteed to be completed, and ii) the {\em cheap} spot instance where a job may be interrupted. We consider a user can select a…

Load balancing is vital for the efficient and long-term operation of cloud data centers. With virtualization, post (reactive) migration of virtual machines after allocation is the traditional way for load balancing and consolidation.…

Database platform-as-a-service (dbPaaS) is developing rapidly and a large number of databases have been migrated to run on the Clouds for the low cost and flexibility. Emerging Clouds rely on the tenants to provide the resource…

Cloud Computing is a paradigm of both parallel processing and distributed computing. It offers computing facilities as a utility service in pay as par use manner. Virtualization, self service provisioning, elasticity and pay per use are the…

Cloud operators have expanded their service offerings, known as Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), to accommodate diverse demands, resulting in increased complexity for customers to select appropriate configurations. In a studied system, only 43%…

Cloud computing allow the users to efficiently and dynamically provision computing resource to meet their IT needs. Cloud Provider offers two subscription plan to the customer namely reservation and on-demand. The reservation plan is…

Mobile micro-clouds are promising for enabling performance-critical cloud applications. However, one challenge therein is the dynamics at the network edge. In this paper, we study how to place service instances to cope with these dynamics,…

Cloud platforms offer the same VMs under many purchasing options that specify different costs and time commitments, such as on-demand, reserved, sustained-use, scheduled reserve, transient, and spot block. In general, the stronger 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…

In multi-hop secondary networks, bidding strategies for spectrum auction, route selection and relaying incentives should be jointly considered to establish multi-hop communication. In this paper, a framework for joint resource bidding and…
