A simulation as a service cloud middleware

Energy Aware Resource Management of Cloud Data Centers

Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. Virtualization technology forms a key concept for new cloud computing architectures. The data centers are used to provide cloud services burdening a significant...

A tutorial on cloud computing for agent-based modeling & simulation with repast

Cloud computing facilitates access to elastic high performance computing without the associated high cost. Agent-based Modeling & Simulation (ABMS) is being used across many scientific disciplines to study complex adaptive systems. Repast Simphony (Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit) is a widely used ABMS system. Cloud computing can speed-up significantly ABMS to facilitate more accurate...

Access control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware

  The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...

Platform-as-a-Service Private Cloud with Oracle Fusion Middleware White Paper

A necessary paradigm change to enable composable cloud-based M&S services

Cloud-based M&S can have many forms, from hardware as a service or cloud-based data for M&S applications to providing M&S as a service. In order to be able to compose such cloud-based M&S services, these services not only need to be able to exchange data and use such exchanged data, they also must represent truth consistently. Current paradigms are not sufficient to support these requirements. ...

Cloud Architecture for Dynamic Service Composition

Service composition provides value-adding services through composing basic Web services, which may be provided by various organizations. Cloud computing presents an efficient managerial, on-demand, and scalable way to integrate computational resources (hardware, platform, and software). However, existing Cloud architecture lacks the layer of middleware to enable dynamic service composition. To ...
