In an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud, tenants want to receive reliable services and the cloud provider intends to reducing intra-network traffic in order to provide more services. Achieving the requirements of both sides is a challenging problem. Current tenant abstraction models cannot provide enough information for the cloud provider to optimize network traffic while satisfying reli...

Most library systems use the client/server and ASP services for their software. However, such systems are difficult to manage and incur high operating costs because of the problems related to high HW and SW purchasing costs, installation and distribution, customization, upgrade, fault and problem management, and costly license royalties. To solve such problems, this study developed the key elem...

Accurately predicting response times of service queries is necessary for deployments optimisation in the multi-tenant applications system. This task is particularly challenging owing to the fact that the mixes of tenants with different business scale and operating characteristics and the interaction among the concurrently running queries have a great impact on the response time of queries in th...

Multi-tenant application is one of the main characteristics of cloud computing. Today, most of the application uses cache service for getting faster access and low response time. Currently in multi-tenant cloud applications data are often evicted mistakenly by cache service, which is managed by existing algorithms such as LRU. Also, security mechanisms are implemented to avoid data breach when ...

The database of multi-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) applications has challenges in designing and developing a relational database for multi-tenant applications. In addition, combining relational tables and virtual relational tables to make them work together and act as one database for each single tenant is a hard and complex problem to solve. Based on our multitenant Elastic Extension Ta...

Legal technologies, or “legal tech,” are disrupting the practice of law and providing efficiencies for businesses around globe. Indeed, legal tech often conjures up notions billion-dollar highly sophisticated parties. However, one branch that holds particular promise less parties is expanding access to justice (A2J) through use online dispute resolution (ODR). This because ODR uses technology a...

Arkansas is the only U.S. state that does not have a landlord's implied warranty of habitability, meaning tenants have a requirement for maintaining their rental properties at certain habitability standards, but landlords are not legally required to contribute to those minimum health and safety standards. This project assessed the possibility that this lack of landlord responsibility affects te...

A multi-tenant database is the primary characteristic of SaaS, it allows SaaS vendors to run a single instance application which supports multiple tenants on the same hardware and software infrastructure. This application should be highly customizable to meet tenants’ expectations and business requirements. This paper examined current solutions on multi-tenancy, and proposed a new meta-data dri...

Software architects struggle to choose an adequate architectural style for multi-tenant software systems. Bad choices result in poor performance, low scalability, limited flexibility, and obstruct software evolution. We present a comparison of 12 Multi-Tenant Architecture (MTA) patterns that supports architects in choosing the most suitable architectural pattern, using 17 assessment criteria. B...
