Cloud environment consists of many components playing different roles which need to interact with each other. Based on the context the nature of interaction may vary. Trust is an essential facet for confidence-based interactions among the various entities in cloud environment. This paper presents the taxonomy of trust models and classification of information sources for trust assessment in cloud paradigm...
Nowadays, the demands for composite services with devices such as sensors/actuators and Web services have increased [1]. Many kinds of cloud services that can connect to real world, as typified by image recognition or speech recognition has come into widespread use to address the limitation in information processing on devices. In that situation, sensors are also provided as sensor services that senses...
Cloud computing has emerged as the primary and popular computing paradigm recently. Since cloud users move continuously, sustaining the required quality of service (QoS) in a cost effective manner is very challenging. For maintaining the required QoS for a moving user, the current cloud systems use some of the existing service replication or/and migration strategies. However, those policies become...
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is the most promising cloud solution for the future mobile environment. It aims to integrate mobile devices with cloud computing, and provide to mobile users an online access to unlimited cloud resources. Furthermore, MCC has changed the concept of mobile devices from primitive gadget to full computers that accommodate work, personal and mobility needs. Thus, in this paper...
Cloud federation is a group of aggregated providers, who are mutually cooperating and collaborating to share their resources in order to improve each other services. It has lured the attention of commercial industries towards itself for its effective utilization of cloud resources. Effective management of the resource is very much required in order to increase the profits of an individual service...
Trust is the cornerstone of success in any relationship between two or more parties. Current technologies to include cloud computing, social networking, and mobile applications, coupled with the explosion in storage and processing power, are evolving large-scale marketplaces for a wide variety of resources and services. In such marketplaces, users (consumer, provider and broker) are largely autonomous...
For the matching relation between the logistics cloud service and logistics task in cloud logistics systems, the description method of logistics cloud service based on context was proposed. Firstly, build the concept model of logistics cloud service, then designed cloud logistics domain context ontology and analyzed the description of logistics cloud service by introducing the definition of context,...
Service level agreements (SLAs) are considered not only a central tool for managing QoS compliance, but also a differentiating factor between service implementations. In today's application environments with fast instrumentation deployment cycles in hybrid Cloud platforms, managing QoS compliance poses tremendous challenges, including how to deliver solutions that live up to promised QoS properties...
Although extensive progress has been made in Mobile Cloud Augmentation, automated decision support on the device that enables the opportunistic and intelligent use of cloud resources is missing. Furthermore, we need solutions with reflective capabilities that can handle a changing environment and runtime variability. To simplify the deployment of smart mobile applications, we present a framework with...
With the increase in number of mobile devices deployed in cloud computing, the demand of context-aware services to assign increases. Indeed, Information about the user's environment exposes new challenges to cloud computing in terms of location-aware, time-aware, device-aware and personalized applications to cope with the constraints of mobile devices in matters of interaction abilities and communication...
Cloud computing has been touted as a revolutionary concept in computing in the Information Age, since it enhances the quality of communication and it is highly cost effective. Cloud computing market has attracted the interest of several providers and corporations, creating an environment in which the user's Quality of Experience (QoE) becomes a competitive advantage. Cloud services are often available...
The ad-hoc mobile markets are increasing daily with providers and consumers ready to participate in these markets. Issues like service discovery and selection are major challenges in these markets. As these markets grow, researchers are working on discovery while little is done on selection. Most scholars have developed different selection mechanisms considering only consumer's quality of service...
The past decade has witnessed immense developments in the field of network computing thanks to the rise of the cloud computing paradigm, which enables shared access to a wealth of computing and storage resources without needing to own them. While cloud computing facilitates on-demand deployment, mobility and collaboration of services, mechanisms for enforcing security and performance constraints when...
Service matching concerns finding suitable services according to the service requester's requirements, which is a complex task due to the increasing number and diversity of cloud services available. Service matching is discussed in web services composition and user oriented service marketplaces contexts. The suggested approaches have different problem definitions and have to be examined closer in...
The recent emergence of the cloud opens new challenges for data processing and integration. Indeed, unlimited access to cloud resources and the "pay as U go" model change the hypothesis for integrating and processing big data collections. This is accentuated due to cloud provider incentives to attract data providers and let them choose their cloud. In this context data services are deployed...
The Cloud Computing paradigm has enabled the multi-tenancy architectural approach in Cloud applications. In a multi-tenant application, one single instance is shared by many tenants (users). Since each client has its own and particular requirements and context, that are exposed to change in time, the process of realizing customizable and adaptable services becomes complex and difficult to handle....
The number of web services has been increased rapidly and thereby discovering the services in cloud computing has become a challenge for the service consumers. As a result, Service discovery and mapping have become even more challenging due to different service descriptions, conventions, heterogeneous types and features of Cloud services. Service discovery has been identified as a key activity for...
Recent advances in distributed resource-constrained systems have seen the rapid growth of interest for middleware exploitation especially in mobile cloud computing. The rapid advancement of mobile cloud computing has shown that there is a high demand for mobile cloud applications. Moreover, mobile cloud computing aims to ensure that mobile devices make the best use of cloud computing resources in...
This paper discusses technical considerations of a Cloud infrastructure which interacts with mobile devices in order to migrate part of the computational overhead from the mobile device to the Cloud. The aim of the interaction between the mobile device and the Cloud is the enhancement of parameters that affect the Quality of Experience (QoE) of the mobile end-user through the offloading of computational...
With the fast adoption of Services Computing, even more driven by the emergence of the Cloud, the need to ensure accountability for quality of service (QoS) for servicebased systems/services has reached a critical level. This need has triggered numerous researches in the fields of trust, reputation and provenance. Most of the researches on trust and reputation have focused on their evaluation or computation...
