“…In addition, the cost can be variable depending on where the computing platform is placed, its performance, and the moment (hour/day/month) when it is required. The new cloud service brokerage efficiently trades infrastructure cloud services among multiple resource providers and consumers [58,59]. In this way, billing is completely flexible and just based on resource usage.…”

Mobile Cloud Computing is one of today's more disruptive paradigms of computation due to its effects on the performance of mobile computing and the development of Internet of Things. It is able to enhance the capabilities of devices by outsourcing the workload to external computing platforms deployed along the network, such as cloud servers, cloudlets, or other edge platforms. The research described in this work presents a computational model of a multilayer architecture for increasing the performance of devices using the Mobile Cloud Computing paradigm. The main novelty of this work lies in defining a comprehensive model where all the available computing platforms along the network layers are involved to perform the outsourcing of the application workload. This proposal provides a generalization of the Mobile Cloud Computing paradigm which allows handling the complexity of scheduling tasks in such complex scenarios. The behaviour of the model and its ability of generalization of the paradigm are exemplified through simulations. The results show higher flexibility for making offloading decisions.

“…This layer is responsible for addressing the issues of managing the purchase, exchange, and sale of energy, and was the layer with the largest number of articles returned. The broker also performs the orchestration and commercialization of cloud services, providing services to customers and cloud service providers, monitoring changes in legislation, and verifying compliance with law and QoS during the service integration phase 64 . It is important to have in the regulation the definition for the performance of the cloud broker.…”

Summary The global energy matrix has been transforming in recent years and today it is moving toward a decentralized form of management for the generation of clean energy worldwide. With this, new ways of management for the energy environment has been emerging, being the Energy Cloud (EC), through cloud computing, one of these trends that seek to optimize the process of generation, distribution, storage and energy consumption, making the most flexible and dynamic energy market. Given these motivations, the objective of this article is to discuss the proposal of a series of technical, economic, and environmental standards for energy management in a cloud computing environment. For this, a systematic review was carried out to identify these regulatory suggestions, where through the reading and analysis of 121 articles, 72 suggestions were extracted and classified according to the layers and management support blocks of from EC management environment. Besides, these policies were grouped according to their approach into technical, economic, and environmental factors to identify what was already proposed by the academy's authors and what are the regulatory deficiencies for EC. These regulatory suggestions can be used by policy‐makers, researchers, and managers of this innovative energy management environment, which is the EC. Novelty Statement This study consists of a regulatory proposal for Energy Cloud (EC), an innovative energy management environment. As there is still no regulatory body responsible for the regulation of EC, the main contribution of this article is the proposal of a regulation layer. In this sense, 72 suggestions for standards were raised, presenting a new layer for EC.

“…The process remains flexible; hence, every variation starts at the process [87]. The prospect for which business processes have been introduced to SOA has formed the baseline for areas such as enterprise procedures and implementation semantics that include the organizational method framework, and notations that are typical for computerization and orchestration services for the business processes [88].…”

Cloud computing as a technology has the capacity to enhance cooperation, scalability, accessibility, and offers discount prospects using improved and effective computing, and this capability helps organizations to stay focused. Ontologies are used to model knowledge. Once knowledge is modeled, knowledge management systems can be used to search, match, visualize knowledge, and also infer new knowledge. Ontologies use semantic analysis to define information within an environment with interconnecting relationships between heterogeneous sets. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on ontology in cloud computing and defines the state of the art. We applied the systematic literature review (SLR) approach and identified 400 articles; 58 of the articles were selected after further selection based on set selection criteria, and 35 articles were considered relevant to the study. The study shows that four predominant areas of cloud computing—cloud security, cloud interoperability, cloud resources and service description, and cloud services discovery and selection—have attracted the attention of researchers as dominant areas where cloud ontologies have made great impact. The proposed methods in the literature applied 30 ontologies in the cloud domain, and five of the methods are still practiced in the legacy computing environment. From the analysis, it was found that several challenges exist, including those related to the application of ontologies to enhance business operations in the cloud and multi-cloud. Based on this review, the study summarizes some unresolved challenges and possible future directions for cloud ontology researchers.
