A Study on Strategic Provisioning of Cloud Computing Services

Abstract

Cloud computing is currently emerging as an ever-changing, growing paradigm that models “everything-as-a-service.” Virtualised physical resources, infrastructure, and applications are supplied by service provisioning in the cloud. The evolution in the adoption of cloud computing is driven by clear and distinct promising features for both cloud users and cloud providers. However, the increasing number of cloud providers and the variety of service offerings have made it difficult for the customers to choose the best services. By employing successful service provisioning, the essential services required by customers, such as agility and availability, pricing, security and trust, and user metrics can be guaranteed by service provisioning. Hence, continuous service provisioning that satisfies the user requirements is a mandatory feature for the cloud user and vitally important in cloud computing service offerings. Therefore, we aim to review the state-of-the-art service provisioning objectives, essential services, topologies, user requirements, necessary metrics, and pricing mechanisms. We synthesize and summarize different provision techniques, approaches, and models through a comprehensive literature review. A thematic taxonomy of cloud service provisioning is presented after the systematic review. Finally, future research directions and open research issues are identified.

Study and Analysis of Cloud Aided Remote Sensing Multiprocessing System (CARMS) with Task Allocation

“…T 1 = {m 11 ( 4), m 12 (5) , m 13 (6)} T 2 = {m 21 (5), m 22 (6), m 23 (7), m 24 (3), m 25 (4)} T 3 = {m 31 (8), m 32 (9), m 33 (7)} 2) Number of processors say P 1 , P 2 and P 3 with their Memory capacity say 100MB. 3) IMCC for task T 1 (Table I) and T 2 (Table II).…”

A cloud service for COTS component-based architectures

“…The strengths of cloud computing for users and organizations have been widely described in scientific literature, as in (Lee, 2010) or (Whaiduzzaman et al, 2014). The identified benefits include the use of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and specifically that of Models-as-a-Service (MaaS) as a software element of high level abstraction which is available for systems to use at any time on demand.…”

A Web Services Infrastructure for the Management of Mashup Interfaces

“…Thirdly, Model Driven Engineering (MDE) [9] techniques are used to produce abstraction mechanisms on the mashup interfaces and allow their formal representation. Finally, cloud computing concepts [13] [19] are used enabling the component architectures to be managed by web services.…”
