Blueprint for the Intercloud - Protocols and Formats for Cloud Computing Interoperability

Strategies for Increased Energy Awareness in Cloud Federations

“…They investigated the following problems faced by fed-erated cloud solutions: (i) dynamic service elasticity, (ii) admission control, (iii) policy-driven placement optimization, (iv) cross-cloud virtual networks (v) crosscloud monitoring, and (vi) cross-cloud live migration. Bernstein et al [8] defined two use case scenarios that exemplify the problems of multi-cloud systems like (i) VM Mobility where they identify the networking, the specific cloud VM management interfaces and the lack of mobility interfaces as the three major obstacles and (ii) storage interoperability and federation scenario in which storage provider replication policies are subject to change when a cloud provider initiates subcontracting.…”

A Self or Manual Destruction of Data and its Secure Migration among Different Clouds

“…The fast emerging Cloud computing market over the last years resulted in a variety of heterogeneous and less interoperable Cloud infrastructures [3]. This leads to a challenging and urgent problem for Cloud users when selecting their best fitting Cloud provider and hence it ties them to a particular provider.…”

“…A new growing research paradigm, which envisions a network of interconnected and interoperable Clouds through the use of open standards, is Inter-cloud computing. This allows users to easily migrate their application workloads across Clouds regardless of the underlying used Cloud provider platform [3]. A very promising future use case of Inter-cloud computing is Cloud services brokerage.…”

Studying Complex Interactions in Real Time: An XMPP-based Framework for Behavioral Experiments

“…XMPP was originally designed for instant messaging (IM), but has been used as a core enabling technology for multi-player games (Lee, 2004), Internet of Things (IoT) (Schuster et al, 2014), as well as cloud computing (Bernstein et al, 2009) and grid computing (Albano et al, 2015) (see (Hornsby and Walsh, 2010) for an overview). It has thus been demonstrated that the XMPP protocol can be used in a wide variety of applications where the common denominator is connecting humans and/or systems, often with real-time constraints and on a massive scale.…”
