This paper focuses on solving the problem of cloud application developers facing while using the available Clouds in their cloud application development process. There are multiple cloud infrastructures available in the market. The Cloud Application developers can‘t be familiar with all the clouds available in the market. Our paper addresses this issue, and talks to facilitate the cloud applica...

Cloud computing provides means for reducing overand under-provisioning through enabling a highly flexible resource allocation. Running an existing software system on a cloud computing basis can involve extensive reengineering activities during the migration. To reduce the correspondent effort, it is often possible to deploy an existing system widely unmodified in IaaS VM instances. However, thi...

For Cloud based services to support enterprise class production workloads, Mainframe like predictable performance is essential. However, the scale, complexity, and inherent resource sharing across workloads make the Cloud management for predictable performance difficult. As a first step towards designing Cloud based systems that achieve such performance and realize the service level objectives,...

In this paper, we propose a server structure proposal and automatic performance verification technology which proposes and verifies an appropriate server structure on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud with baremetal servers, container based virtual servers and virtual machines. Recently, cloud services have been progressed and providers provide not only virtual machines but also baremeta...

The Cloud-based infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) paradigm (e.g., Amazon EC2) enables a client who lacks computational resources to outsource her dataset and data mining tasks to the Cloud. However, as the Cloud may not be fully trusted, it raises serious concerns about the integrity of the mining results returned by the Cloud. To this end, in this paper, we provide a focused study about how t...

Yinqian Zhang: Cache-based Side-Channel Attacks in Multi-Tenant Public Clouds and Their Countermeasures (Under the direction of Michael Reiter) Cloud computing is gaining traction due to the business agility, resource scalability and operational efficiency that it enables. However, the murkiness of the security assurances offered by public clouds to their tenants is one of the major impediments...

Cloud computing is an attractive computing model since it allows for the provision of resources on-demand. Such a process of allocation and reallocation of resources is thekey to accommodating unpredictable demands and improving the return on investment from the infrastructure supporting the Cloud. Cloud computing booming area and emerging trends in information communication technology domain. ...

The adoption of the workflow technology in the eScience domain has contributed to the increase of simulation-based applications orchestrating di erent services in a flexible and error-free manner. The nature of the provisioning and execution of such simulations makes them potential candidates to be migrated and executed in Cloud environments. The wide availability of Infrastructure-as-a-Service...

This paper introduces Elastic Cloud Computing Cluster (EC3), a tool that creates elastic virtual clusters on top of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Clouds. The clusters are self-managed entities that scale out to a larger number of nodes on demand, up to a maximum size specified by the user. Whenever idle resources are detected, the clusters automatically scale in, according to some predefin...

The Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud is evolving towards the Resource-as-a-Service (RaaS) cloud: a cloud which requires economic decisions to be taken in real time by automatic agents. Does the economic angle introduce new vulnerabilities? Can old vulnerabilities be exploited on RaaS clouds from different angles? How should RaaS clouds be designed to protect them from attacks? In this s...
