“…This paper identifies research opportunities from the Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) technology to the cloud computing paradigm and vice-versa. Agents are intelligent, flexible, autonomous and proactive; all of these features are needed by a cloud computing system where the resources have to be re-distributed within the system in order to cope with the demand.Current literature, reflects few references of studies that combine both agents and cloud computing paradigms: in [11] software agents appear as a new cloud computing service which would represent clients in virtual environments; [12] presents a complex cloud negotiation mechanism that supports negotiation activities in interrelated markets; and [14] presents a service-oriented QOS-assured cloud computing architecture. These contributions pave the way for an interesting new area of investigation in cloud-based multi-agent systems.…”

Nowadays, cloud computing is revolutionizing the services provided through the Internet to adapt itself in order to keep the quality of its services. Recent research foresees the advent of a new discipline of agent-based cloud computing systems, that can make decisions about adaption in an uncertain environment. This paper discusses the role of argumentation in the next generation of agreement technologies and its use in cloud computing environments.

“…The software based intelligent agents are used in large-scale Datacenters to maintain their extracted huge data [21]. These agents are also used in Datacenters to monitor the services, grant access to legitimate users, make Cloud infrastructure as energy efficient as possible and develop strategies based on collected information.…”

“…Adapt dynamically and fault tolerant If Cloud Computing and software agent's technologies work together then it may produce innovative results. During literature review, it is observed that up till now, a very few researchers have proposed the idea of combination of both technologies [21]. In Cloud Computing, we have to plan and implement a system for familiarization with the dynamic behavior of Cloud Computing environment.…”

In general, an information security approach estimates the risk, where the risk is to occur due to an unusual event, and the associated consequences for cloud organization. Information Security and Risk Management (ISRA) practices vary among cloud organizations and disciplines. There are several approaches to compare existing risk management methods for cloud organizations but their scope is limited considering stereo type criteria, rather than developing an agent based task that considers all aspects of the associated risk. It is the lack of considering all existing renowned risk management frameworks, their proper comparison, and agent techniques that motivates this research. This paper proposes Agent Based Information Security Framework for Hybrid Cloud Computing as an all-inclusive method including cloud related methods to review and compare existing different renowned methods for cloud computing risk issues and by adding new tasks from surveyed methods. The concepts of software agent and intelligent agent have been introduced that fetch/collect accurate information used in framework and to develop a decision system that facilitates the organization to take decision against threat agent on the basis of information provided by the security agents. The scope of this research primarily considers risk assessment methods that focus on assets, potential threats, vulnerabilities and their associated measures to calculate consequences. After in-depth comparison of renowned ISRA methods with ABISF, we have found that ISO/IEC 27005:2011 is the most appropriate approach among existing ISRA methods. The proposed framework was implemented using fuzzy inference system based upon fuzzy set theory, and MATLAB® fuzzy logic rules were used to test the framework. The fuzzy results confirm that proposed framework could be used for information security in cloud computing environment.

Summary Session initiation protocol (SIP) is a widely used standard protocol for multimedia applications and IP multimedia subsystems. Internet protocol multimedia subsystem was introduced by the 3GGP signaling foundation as part of a set of next generation network architectures. Despite having useful practical features, SIP does not have suitable mechanisms to handle overload. This challenge creates a sharp drop in quality of service for next generation network users. Because a distributed SIP network is a complex system composed of subsystems interacting with one another, multiagent system is an appropriate method to model network interactions and to solve overload in SIP networks. In this paper, holonic organization is applied to reduce the multiagent system complexity in modeling a large SIP network. Holonic organization is a hierarchical structure in which each holon covers a geographical area of the SIP network at the first level. At the second level, upper‐level holons control the first‐level holons, and so on. Overload control is achieved by communication and the exchange of knowledge between the intelligent holons. Experimental results show that the proposed method prevents overload in the SIP network. The method also increases total throughput, reduces delay, and considers fairness in the SIP network.
