Examining Cloud Computing from the Perspective of Grid and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work

Cloud IoT as a Crucial Enabler: a Survey and Taxonomy

“…Broadly speaking, this new phenomenon, Cloud computing (CC), has borrowed some fundamental notions from other relevant preceding computing research areas such as Virtualization, Abstraction, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Resource Pooling, Content Outsourcing, Internet Delivery, and Real-Time Monitoring (Foster et al, 2008) (George Pallis, 2010) (Bratterud, Happe and Duncan, 2017) (Beacham and Duncan, 2017) (Arora et al, 2017). Furthermore and as indicated in Figure 1, CC is not completely a new paradigm, but rather a new operational model that it is indeed evolved out of other relevant interrelated prominent computing models that have been subject to extensive years of research and development, such as Grid Computing (GC), Utility Computing (UC), Multi-processor systems, Multicore architectures, Parallel Computing, Internet, Cluster Computing, and Distributed Systems (Foster et al, 2008) (Jiang and Yang, 2010) (Al-Ta'ee, El-Omari and Kasasbeh, 2013) (Kaur, 2015)(C. Vijaya and P.Srinivasa, 2016). So, CC nearly includes everything that can be obtainable by other already existing technologies (George Pallis, 2010).…”

“…Whereby, buying these elements is cost-effective but it may have technical and financial risks. (Foster et al, 2008) (Jiang and Yang, 2010) (Akshatha and Manjunath, 2016) Short ahead, in their ways of seeking high-level computation in terms of response time and budgeting issues, scientists and experts have increasingly duplicated their efforts to coordinate many networked resources to work together to accomplish a big unmanageable problem by dividing it into small manageable sub-problems and then solving them through a coordinated manner by using a number of connected processing elements (Akshatha and Manjunath, 2016). These different resource elements, such as mass storage devices, data sources, and computational power are interconnected by a computer network and they are deeply cooperated in accomplishing the assigned main problem and can be exploited by users/clients as a single-unified resource (Akshatha and Manjunath, 2016).…”

“…Whenever any component, namely processing element or node, fail to function in a satisfactorily mode then other elements will take care of it. (Foster et al, 2008) (Jiang and Yang, 2010) (Venkatachalapathy et al, 2016) Likewise, as these nods are not specifically organized just only to work together to accomplish a single large job, the arrangement of computers all over the place are being randomly added and removed from the set working on the problem. Evidently, the great growths in networks and its communication protocols paved the way for seeing this reasonable technology that has two faces of the same coin: the decentralization of processing at the system level, and the integration of the information resources at the logical level (Foster et al, 2008)(Al-Ta'ee, El-Omari andKasasbeh, 2013).…”

Economic and Technical Assessment of Cloud Computing

“…Different web-based enterprise solutions such as Customer Relations Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Resources Management (HRM), Business Process Management (BPM), and Expense Management (EM) will also be investigated if they have been adapted to cloud platforms, and as such, can be classified as SaaS solutions. Within the literature that discusses the critical deterrents for cloud computing, some authors have concentrated on economic challenges, whereas others have also considered technology related issues (Armbrust, et al, 2010;Leavitt, 2009;Jiang and Yang, 2010).…”

Short time prediction of cloud server round-trip time using a hybrid neuro-fuzzy network

“…Cloud is a collection of distributed computing systems consisting of a stack of virtualized and interconnected systems that are dynamically provisioned as computing resource based on a service level agreement (SLA) among the cloud service provider (CSP) and the cloud users [2]. Cloud computing represents an important advancement towards computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) [3], providing an effective and trustworthy computing framework for collaborative computation task executions [4] and infrastructure for collaborative enterprises [5] and establishing collaborative networked organizations [6]. The benefits of cloud computing stem from the fundamental idea that CSCW can be enabled by arranging and using distributed resources which may be controlled by different hosts.…”
