introduction thermal infrared integrated dust index (tiidi) is one of indices that is presented in this direction. the index operates based on four brightness temperature difference including wavelengths 3.7, 8.6, 11 and 12 micrometer. according to the studies, btd (bt12-bt11) is used for cloud detection. btd (bt8.6-bt11) is the index for separation for dust from sandy surface and btd (bt3.7-bt...

Rapid increment, increase demands and bandwidth cost of access cloud resources be...

Recently, it emerges lots of cloud services in the cloud service market. After many candidate services are initially chosen by satisfying both the behavior and functional criteria of a target cloud service. Service consumers need a selection model to further evaluate nonfunctional QOS properties of the candidate services. Some prior works have focused on objective and quantitative benchmark-tes...

Cloud computing is getting popular and IT giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM have started their cloud computing infrastructure. However, current cloud implementations are often isolated from other cloud implementations. This paper gives an overview survey of current cloud computing architectures and S&V (security & vulnerabilities), discusses issues that current cloud computing imple...

Cloud computing is a promising concept for the implementation of scalable on-demand computing infrastructures, where resources are provided in a self-managing manner based on predefined customers requirements. A Service Level Agreement (SLA), which is established between a Cloud provider and a customer, specifies these requirements. It includes terms like required memory consumption, bandwidth ...

Cloud has emerged into another enhancement that manipulates the diversity of resources in order to expand the ability of Cloud facility. Cloud is no longer being seen as one-type service provider. The advantages of the heterogeneous Cloud give great benefits to the users and have business potential in service market. To cope with the dynamic nature of heterogeneous Cloud, the Cloud provider nee...

Cloud computing is a new discussion in enterprise IT. It has already become popular in terms of distributed technology in some companies. It enables managers to setup and run the intended businesses by avoiding excessive spending on computers, software and hiring expert staff, which proves to be cost effective. Cloud computing also helps users pay for the IT services without spending massive am...

AUTOMATED CLOUD RESOURCE ORCHESTRATION Changbin Liu Boon Thau Loo Realizing Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud requires a control platform for orchestrating the provisioning, configuration, management and decommissioning of a distributed set of diverse cloud resources (i.e., compute, storage, network) serving different clients. Cloud resource orchestration is challenging due to the rapid ...

Cloud feedbacks and rapid adjustments to an abrupt quadrupling of CO2 are diagnosed in five CMIP5 models using cloud radiative kernels in combination with cloud top pressureand optical depthpartitioned cloud fractions. Upon CO2 quadrupling, clouds exhibit a rapid reduction in fractional coverage, cloud top pressure, and optical depth, each contributing roughly equally to a positive global mean ...

Cloud computing is an increasingly popular platform for both industry and consumers. The cloud presents a number of unique security issues, such as a high level of distribution or system homogeneity, which require special consideration. In this paper we introduce a resilience architecture consisting of a collection of self-organising resilience managers distributed within the infrastructure of ...
