Cloud Storage Providers (CSPs) offer geographically data stores providing several storage classes with different prices. An important problem facing by cloud users is how to exploit these storage classes to serve an application with a time-varying workload on its objects at minimum cost. This cost consists of residential cost (i.e., storage, Put and Get costs) and potential migration cost (i.e....

This paper presents a tool that helps developers to design and implement storage models for OWL ontologies. This tool uses xml both to represent the knowledge given by the ontology, and define the rules that generate the storage model. It presents a graphical interface that helps developers to use it. The storage models created by this tool will be used in our research studies.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only available technology that allows us to significantly reduce our CO2 emissions while keeping up with the ever-increasing global energy demand. Research in CCS focuses on reducing the costs of carbon capture and increasing our knowledge of geological storage to ensure the safe and permanent storage of CO2. This brief review will discuss progress in dif...
