“…Its architecture has been analyzed in [188], where the importance of middleware resiliency for cloud systems was also emphasized. Resiliency approaches for middleware are manifold: checkpoint management, resilient connectivity on top of virtualized components, resilient load balancing and scheduling among virtualized components, and self-adaptable middleware architecture design.…”

Abstract-Today's businesses increasingly rely on cloud computing, which brings both great opportunities and challenges. One of the critical challenges is resiliency: disruptions due to failures (either accidental or because of disasters or attacks) may entail significant revenue losses (e.g., US$ 25.5 billion in 2010 for North America). Such failures may originate at any of the major components in a cloud architecture (and propagate to others): (i) the servers hosting the application, (ii) the network interconnecting them (on different scales, inside a data center, up to wide-area connections), or (iii) the application itself. We comprehensively survey a large body of work focusing on resilience of cloud computing, in each (or a combination) of the server, network, and application components.First, we present the cloud computing architecture and its key concepts. We highlight both the infrastructure (servers, network) and application components. A key concept is virtualization of infrastructure (i.e., partitioning into logically separate units), and thus we detail the components in both physical and virtual layers. Before moving to the detailed resilience aspects, we provide a qualitative overview of the types of failures that may occur (from the perspective of the layered cloud architecture), and their consequences.The second major part of the paper introduces and categorizes a large number of techniques for cloud computing infrastructure resiliency. This ranges from designing and operating the facilities, servers, networks, to their integration and virtualization (e.g., also including resilience of the middleware infrastructure).The third part focuses on resilience in application design and development. We study how applications are designed, installed, and replicated to survive multiple physical failure scenarios as well as disaster failures.

“…If a fault occurs, the reconfiguration/recovery mechanisms implemented in the middleware ensure that a backup replica obtains all the information it needs to reproduce the actions of the application. The middleware presented in [5] has been designed aiming mission assurance for critical Cloud applications across hybrid Clouds. It is centered on policy-based event monitoring and dynamic reactions to guarantee the accomplishment of "end-toend" and "cross-layer" security, dependability, and timeliness.…”

Abstract. Transportation of Dangerous Goods represents a sensitive problem due its congenital high potential risk of causing disaster if an accident occurs. Transportation of Dangerous Goods Risk Management systems reduce the possibility of both accidental disasters and terrorist attacks detecting unusual events and blocking possible threats. Cloud computing can facilitate the development of such kinds of systems thanks to new emerging paradigms and technologies. In this paper, we discuss the design of a new Message-Oriented Cloud Middleware for Cloud, that can be used to develop a Cloud-based Transportation of Dangerous Goods Risk Management system. More specifically, we investigate issues on Transportation of Dangerous Goods, in order to focus the attention on the requirements of the Risk Management system. Then, we describe how to use the Message-Oriented Cloud Middleware for Cloud architecture and the necessary utilities in particular here for supporting Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

“…Campbell et al [28] proposed the properties and building blocks of a middleware that assured Cloud can support critical missions, where the middleware must include sophisticated monitoring, assessment of policies, and response to manage the configuration and management of trusted resources. Specifically, it considers applications in which assigned tasks or duties are performed in accordance with an intended purpose or plan in order to accomplish an assured mission.…”

In Cloud environments, resources are provided as services to endusers over the internet upon request. Resources' coordination in the Cloud enables users to reach their resources anywhere and anytime. Ensuring the security in Cloud environment plays an important role, as customers often store important information on Cloud storage services. These services are not always trusted by the data owners. Customers are wondering about the integrity and the availability of their data in the Cloud. Users need to save their data from outsider and insider attackers (i.e. attacker within service providers' coordination's). Moreover, any collateral damage or errors of Cloud services provider arises as a concern as well. Most of the vital security needs and issues regarding data Cloud services are mentioned in this chapter. The purpose of this chapter is to examine recent research related to data security and to address possible solutions. Research of employing uncommon security schemes into Cloud environments has received an increasing interest in the literature, although these schemes are neither mature nor rigid yet. This work aspires to promote the use of security protocols due to their ability to reduce security risks that affect users of data Cloud services.
