This work aims to highlight the benefits of Cloud Automation for industrial adopters and some of the research challenges that must be addressed in this process. The focus is on the use of cloud computing for efficiently planning the motion of new robot manipulators designed for flexible manufacturing floors. In particular, different ways that a robot can interact with a computing cloud are cons...

Internet of Things (IoT) are being adopted for industrial and manufacturing applications such as manufacturing automation, remote machine diagnostics, prognostic health management of industrial machines and supply chain management. CloudBased Manufacturing is a recent on-demand model of manufacturing that is leveraging IoT technologies. While Cloud-Based Manufacturing enables on-demand access t...

Cloud Computing, the emerging technology, delivers IT capabilities as services-on-demand using internet. Though the Cloud technology possesses lot many benefits, it suffer several challenges which hinders the adoption of public cloud by many organizations. Since the consumer has to depend on the cloud provider’s infrastructure that is not completely controlled internally by the consumer, the ma...

Hybrid cloud technology is becoming increasingly popular as it merges private and public clouds to bring the best of two worlds together. However, due to the heterogeneous cloud installation, facilitating a hybrid cloud setup is not simple. Despite the availability of some commercial solutions to build a hybrid cloud, an open source implementation is still unavailable. In this paper, we try to ...

1.1 Introduction Clouds typically have highly dynamic demands for resources with highly heterogeneous and dynamic workloads. For example, the workloads associated with the application can be quite dynamic, both in terms of the number of tasks processed as well as computation requirements of each task. Furthermore, different applications may have very different and dynamic QoS requirements, for ...
