Cloud Computing means a place where we can store our valuable information of data and access the computing and networking services following the pay-as-you-go method without a physical environment. In the present day, cloud computing offers…

We study online resource allocation in a cloud computing platform, through a posted pricing mechanism: The cloud provider publishes a unit price for each resource type, which may vary over time; upon arrival at the cloud system, a cloud…

When a company migrates to cloud storage, the way back is neither easy nor cheap. The company is then locked up in the storage contract and exposed to upward market prices, which reduce the company's profit and may even bring it below zero.…

Cloud providers, like Amazon, offer their data centers' computational and storage capacities for lease to paying customers. High electricity consumption, associated with running a data center, not only reflects on its carbon footprint, but…

As more and more users begin to use the cloud for their computing needs, datacenter operators are increasingly pressed to effectively allocate their resources among these client users. Yet while much work has been done in this area,…

An increasing number of technology enterprises are adopting cloud-native architectures to offer their web-based products, by moving away from privately-owned data-centers and relying exclusively on cloud service providers. As a result,…

Cloud computing can be defined as the outsourcing / renting of resources over the network. It has been regarded as an essential utility similar to electricity, water, telephone and sewerage utilities. Over the years, a number of providers…

With the rapid growth of the cloud computing marketplace, the issue of pricing resources in the cloud has been the subject of much study in recent years. In this paper, we identify and study a new issue: how to price resources in the cloud…

We study a model of congestible resources, where pricing and scheduling are intertwined. Motivated by the problem of pricing cloud instances, we model a cloud computing service as linked $GI/GI/\cdot$ queuing systems where the provider…

In this paper, we study cache policies for cloud-based caching. Cloud-based caching uses cloud storage services such as Amazon S3 as a cache for data items that would have been recomputed otherwise. Cloud-based caching departs from…

We study a general online combinatorial auction problem in algorithmic mechanism design. A provider allocates multiple types of capacity-limited resources to customers that arrive in a sequential and arbitrary manner. Each customer has a…

The availability of public computing resources in the cloud has revolutionized data analysis, but requesting cloud resources often involves complex decisions for consumers. Under the current pricing mechanisms, cloud service providers offer…

We study the problem of optimizing data storage and access costs on the cloud while ensuring that the desired performance or latency is unaffected. We first propose an optimizer that optimizes the data placement tier (on the cloud) and the…

A mobile cloud computing system is composed of heterogeneous services and resources to be allocated by the cloud service provider to mobile cloud users. On one hand, some of these resources are substitutable (e.g., users can use storage…

In cloud storage, the digital data is stored in logical storage pools, backed by heterogeneous physical storage media and computing infrastructure that are managed by a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). To balance the tradeoff between service…

Cloud computing provides scientists a platform that can deploy computation and data intensive applications without infrastructure investment. With excessive cloud resources and a decision support system, large generated data sets can be…

Today, static cloud markets where consumers purchase services directly from providers are dominating. Thus, consumers neither negotiate the price nor the characteristics of the service. In recent years, providers have adopted more dynamic…

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…

Cloud block storage systems support diverse types of applications in modern cloud services. Characterizing their I/O activities is critical for guiding better system designs and optimizations. In this paper, we present an in-depth…

Cloud computing refers to a paradigm shift to overall IT solutions while raising the accessibility, scalability and effectiveness through its enabling technologies. However, migrated cloud platforms and services cost benefits as well as…
