Cloud computing is an emerging platform of service computing designed for swift and dynamic delivery of assured computing resources. Cloud computing provide Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for guaranteed uptime availability for enabling convenient and on-demand network access to the distributed and shared computing resources. Though the cloud computing paradigm holds its potential status in the...

Cloud computing is widely considered as an attractive service model since the users commitments for investment and operations are minimised, and costs are in direct relation to usage and demand. However, when networking aspects for distributed clouds are considered, there is little support and the effort is often underestimated. The project SAIL is addressing cloud networking as the combination...

With the increasing popularity of the Cloud computing, there are more and more requirements for scientific workflows to utilize Cloud resources. In this paper, we present our preliminary work and experiences on enabling the interaction between the Kepler scientific workflow system and the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). A set of EC2 actors and Kepler Amazon Machine Images are introduced wit...

The emergence of the cloud computing paradigm promises flexibility and adaptability through on-demand provisioning of compute resources. As the utilization of cloud resources extends beyond a single provider, for reasons including fault-tolerance and performance, the issue of effectively managing such resources comes to the fore. Different providers expose different interfaces to their compute ...

In the recent years cloud computing has emerged as potential technology for software industry as a resource base. With cloud computing, organizations need not require large capital outlays and human expenses for realizing innovative ideas. Cloud computing has provided many potential benefits to organizations for maximizing their profit in different perspectives where software testing is believe...

Cloud computing becomes more and more adaptive technology for the current computing world. In the cloud environment to provide infrastructure resources to the end customer they are using virtualization technology. Virtualization is built on a software module called hypervisors. By implementing virtualization in the cloud the same resources are shared among different end customers. This may lead...

Virtualization is critical for resource sharing and dynamic allocation in cloud manufacturing, a new service-oriented networked collaborative manufacturing model. In this paper, an effective method is proposed for manufacturing resources & capabilities virtualization, which contains manufacturing resources modeling and manufacturing cloud services encapsulation. A manufacturing resource virtual...
