A service computing model based on interaction among local Campus Clouds

Abstract

With the increasing number of computers and experimental apparatus, there is a growing interest in harnessing the unused and inexpensive computational resources, educational resources and teaching devices in universities. The quality of services of resource sharing in university should be improved in order to meet all kinds of service request of users. In this paper, we design a service computing model based on interaction among local Campus Cloud. In this model cloud service providers cloud improve the performance of service delivery and increase level of resources utilization. The service computing model could utilize the interaction among local Campus Clouds to augment the capacity of the local resources. In the end, users in universities could request any cloud service from the local Campus Cloud.

Cloud provider capacity augmentation through automated resource bartering

“…Cloud computing has found applications in many fields including e-business and e-education [10]. To assist the scientific community in performing the resource-intensive tasks, Cloud@Home was introduced [11].…”

“…Model [32] The proposed model adopts multiple local campus clouds where each one provides services by virtualizing a set of resources to manage university's activities. Cooperative Cloud based Model [33] The proposed cloud based model can be applied for large scale universities and academic institutes located at different continents in order to share resources and increase efficiency.…”

“…Reference [32] introduces a service computing model for interaction between local campus clouds in order to manage universities' activities and sharing resources efficiently. The model proposes multiple local campus clouds; each one provides services by virtualizing a set of resources.…”

“…The technology dimension which involved technical issues that should be implemented to develop the cloud computing model appeared in [29], [31], [34], [39]. The organization dimension that includes considerations of organizational aspects that are affecting the HEIs was discussed in [30], [32], [35] - [37]. The people dimension, which considers human behavioral issues and considers different perspectives of the people involved, was identified in [38].…”

“…Cloud computing is considered one of the evolving paradigms that enable providing computing resources as services, which are easily accessed by customers from everywhere and at anytime via the Web [5]. The information technology research and advisory firm, Gartner, predicted that by the year 2016 over a quarter of all computing applications would be available on the cloud [6].…”
