Amazon Simple Storage Service is storage for the Internet designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Objects are the fundamental entities stored in Amazon S3. It is a simple key-based object store where each Amazon S3 object has data, a key, and metadata. Object key name identifies the object in a bucket uniquely. Object metadata is a set of name-value pairs that can be set at the...
Nowadays, cloud computing is an emerging technology thanks to its ability to provide on-demand computing services (hardware and software) with less description standardization effort. Multiple issues and challenges in discovering cloud services appear due to the lack of the cloud service description standardization. In fact, the existing cloud providers describe, their similar offered services in...
The Inter-IoT project is aiming at the design and implementation of, and experimentation with, an open cross-layer framework and associated methodology, to provide voluntary interoperability among heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The project is initially driven by uses cases from two domains: (e/m) Health and transportation and logistics in a port environment. While the Inter-IoT...
In the recent years great interest has been shown by both private organizations and independent researchers on Business Processes definition and management, which resulted in the development of several tools for their design and execution, and in proposals of standards for their formal representation, such as BPMN. At the same time, Cloud Computing solutions have reached a good level of maturity,...
Scientists gain benefits from scalable resource provisioning on-demand, and various computing environments by using cloud computing resources for their applications. However, many cloud computing providers offer their cloud resources according to their own rules. The descriptions of various cloud resources also differ for each vendor. Subsequently, it becomes difficult to find suitable cloud resources...
In the contemporary cloud computing environment, the various cloud providers adopt different architectures for their systems and usually these are not compatible. The scalable exchange of information about these heterogeneous resources is often not addressed; still this represents an interesting challenge, since different Cloud systems and vendors have different ways to describe and invoke their services,...
This paper focuses on two aspects related to the widespread of cloud computing: first, the definition of a common formalism, based on a unique and shared model, which could be used to completely describe Cloud patterns, second, the investigation of a methodology to automatize the recognition of similar elements in Design and Cloud patterns, thus defining an automatic mapping among representations...
The deployment and provisioning of intelligent systems and utility-based services will greatly benefit from a cloud-based intelligent middleware framework, which could be deployed over multiple infrastructure providers (such as smart cities, hospitals, campus and private enterprises, offices, etc.) in order to deliver on-demand access to smart services. This paper introduces the formulation of an...
Despite recent advances in the IoT area for developing control systems into the cloud, the proliferation of inter-connected entities and the collection of diverse information act as the big challenges in order to provide full control over IoT devices. Solutions to the problem of formulating and managing internet-connected objects in cloud environments i.e. environments comprising "entities"...
Nowadays a large number of companies world-wide has moved their applications in the cloud, exploiting a lot of types of functions, such as customer relationship management, human resources, accounting and document sharing. In this work we propose "'CloSe"', a cloud system for document composition, which offers editing/composing aiding services by exploiting semantic based technology. Close...
