Smart applications are increasingly emerged in our daily professional and personal lives, ranging from augmented reality and gaming applications to E‐health and telesurgery services. In fact, the growing development of Internet of Things (IoT) and its integration with cloud and fog paradigms have encouraged infrastructures and services providers to perform intelligence in advanced technologies. However,...
Cloud computing is an innovative model that is gaining attention and wide popularity among IT professionals and users. It provides a new mode of use of IT resources by offering everything as a service (storage, servers, network, etc.) and provisioning resources on-demand. In cloud computing environments, users outsource their data to distributed data centers in the cloud and entrust cloud providers...
Nowadays, virtualization is an important technique that offers illimited resources to network users. It allows users to share switch's resources in time and space. Sharing in time is done by scheduling algorithms determining at which moment each input queue is matched with an output queue. Regarding sharing in space, it takes place in the queues which are split into multiple virtual queues. Being...
Cloud computing is often presented as the fifth generation of computing providing a wide range of techniques (virtualization, utility-based pricing, etc.) to deliver everything as a service through Internet. It is an attractive way that enables users to take advantage of the powerful computation solutions and the numerous available network services. And as any other new technology, cloud computing...
In a cloud computing environment, cloud users are competing for the same shared resources in order to run their applications or storage their data. In fact, cloud providers try to offer the necessary resources according to the users' demands giving the illusion of infinite resources. However, when these resources are insufficient to satisfy the users' requirements, conflicts may appear. Thus, it is...
Cloud computing is a revolutionary model that allows companies and individuals to outsource their data to external data centers which become responsible for their storage and processing. Nevertheless, this new computing model has raised some issues related to data security. In fact, since cloud computing environments are shared between different users, there is definitely a way that a malicious (undesirable)...
Cloud Computing is a revolutionary model that offers everything as a service (storage, servers, network, etc.). It enables users to outsource their data and entrust a service provider with its storage and processing. However, we are doing with resource-limited environment where users compete to have enough resources for their tasks. Thus, a resource allocation model is needed for a better utilization...
As the number of services and users in Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) keeps increasing, network virtualization seems to be a good alternative for Mobile Virtual Network Operators(MVNOs) in order to provide better services to customers and save cost and time. As a matter of fact, it offers better performances in terms of resource management and automatic allocation. Furthermore, when...
