Cloud computing has proposed a new perspective for provisioning the large-scale resources by using virtualization technology and pay-per-use cost model. Load balancing is taken into account as vital part parallel distributed systems. It helps cloud systems improving general performance, better utilization, energy consumption management, enhancing services’ QoS, avoiding SLA violation maintainin...

The adoption of mobile application is increasing at enormous rate due to their improved functionality and features. Increased storage and computing power has augmented its utility. However, these mobile applications are still intrinsically limited by a relative lack of bandwidth, computing power, storage and energy compared to desktops. To overcome these limitations, the concept of Mobile Cloud...

The present manuscript concentrates on the application of Fog computing to a Smart Grid Network that comprises of a Distribution Generation System known as a Microgrid. It addresses features and advantages of a smart grid. Two computational methods for on-demand processing based on shared information resources is discussed. Fog Computing acts as an additional layer of computational and/or commu...

Cloud computing represents a novel and promising computing paradigm where computing resources have to be allocated to software for their execution. Self-manageable Cloud infrastructures are required in order to achieve that level of flexibility on one hand, and to comply to users’ requirements specified by means of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) on the other. However, many assumptions in Cloud...

Cloud computing is the new paradigm to deliver all the hosted services over internet on demand. The ultimate goal of cloud computing paradigm is to realize computing as a utility. The cloud is rapidly maturing towards its goal to support a wide variety of enterprise and consumer services and real-world applications. Recently a movement towards cross cloud also called as multi-clouds or inters c...

The very large infrastructure and the increasing demand of services of cloud computing systems lead to the need of an effective fault tolerant allocation technique. In this paper, we address the problem of allocating user applications to the virtual machines of cloud computing systems so that failures can be avoided in the presence of faults. We employ job replication as an effective mechanism ...

The energy efficiency of ICT has become a major issue with the growing demand of Cloud Computing. More and more companies are investing in building large datacenters to host Cloud services. These datacenters not only consume huge amount of energy but are also very complex in the infrastructure itself. Many studies have been proposed to make these datacenter energy efficient using technologies s...

Cloud computing provides processing power in form of virtual machines. This processing power can be given to very big and small devices. Similarly for providing processing power, devices with small or big processing power can be utilized. These devices can also be ubiquitous computing devices. Ubiquitous computing devices present in environment may communicate with each other. Ubiquitous comput...

Nowadays one of the most useful computing paradigm is cloud computing which can be accessed as “Pay-n-Use” method and it provides services in terms of software, utility and platform. Cloud computing leads people to run any kind of complex applications and it allows accessing data centers remotely and costing effectively. It is well known that most of the complex applications need parallel proce...

Cloud computing refers to a paradigm shift to overall IT solutions while raising the accessibility, scalability and effectiveness through its enabling technologies. However, migrated cloud platforms and services cost benefits as well as performances are neither clear nor summarized. Globalization and the recessionary economic times have not only raised the bar of a better IT delivery models but...
