As more and more service providers choose Cloud platforms, which is provided by third party resource providers, resource providers needs to provision resources for heterogeneous workloads in different Cloud scenarios. Taking into account the dramatic differences of heterogeneous workloads, can we coordinately provision resources for heterogeneous workloads in Cloud computing? In this paper we f...

Private set intersection (PSI) protocols have many real world applications. With the emergence of cloud computing the need arises to carry out PSI on outsourced datasets where the computation is delegated to the cloud. However, due to the possibility of cloud misbehaviors, it is essential to verify the integrity of any outsourced datasets, and result of delegated computation. Verifiable Computa...

We present PRISM, a privacy-preserving scheme for word search in cloud computing. Assuming a curious cloud provider, privacy of data stored in the cloud becomes an issue. The main challenge in the context of cloud computing is to design a scheme that achieves privacy while preserving the efficiency of cloud computing. Main approaches like simple encryption, Private Information Retrieval (PIR) a...

With the growing popularity of cloud computing, more and more users outsource their private data to the cloud. To ensure the security of private data, data owners usually encrypt their private data before outsourcing the data to the cloud server, which brings incommodity of data operating. This paper proposes a scheme for similar search on encrypted images. In the setup phase, image owner extra...

Major cloud providers offer networks of virtual machines with private IP addresses as a service on the cloud. To isolate the address space of different customers, customers are required to tunnel their traffic to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway, which is typically a middlebox inside the cloud that internally tunnels each packet to the correct destination. To improve performance, an incr...

Cloud computing platforms are complex system, which consist of a lot of software working together. Because of software defects, cloud computing platforms may has performance anomaly during runtime. In this paper, a data-driven anomaly detection method is proposed to monitor runtime performance for cloud computing platforms. The proposed method can not only detect the performance anomaly of clou...

Cloud computing has started to gain acceptance for adoption and implementation among organizations, however, this new technology area has already started to deal with security, performance and availability challenges. Within Cloud Security issues being paramount for the corporates, private enterprises, the denial of service attacks are rated as the highest priority threat to the cloud environme...

On-demand access to computing resources asa-service has the potential to allow enterprises to temporarily scale out of their private data center into the infrastructure of a public cloud provider during times of peak demand. However, concerns about privacy and security may limit the adoption of this technique. We describe an approach to partitioning a software application (particularly a client...

With wide use of cloud computing and storage services, sensitive information is increasingly centralized into the cloud to reduce the management costs, which raises concerns about data privacy. Encryption is a promising way to maintain the confidentiality of outsourced sensitive data, but it makes effective data utilization to be a very challenging task. In this paper, we focus on the problem o...

Cloud computing promises innate scalability and high availability at low cost. So far cloud storage deployments were subject to big companies but an increasing amount of available open-source systems allow also smaller private cloud installations. In this paper we discuss cloud aggregation and cloud bursting with their empirical review. Based on the review we map class and object in the sharabl...
