Popular public cloud infrastructures tend to feature centralized, mutual exclusion models for distributed resources, such as file systems. The result of using such centralized solutions in the Google File System (GFS), for instance, reduces scalability, increases latency, creates a single point of failure, and tightly couples applications with the underlying services. In addition to these quali...

The emergence of more and more cloud offerings from a multitude of service providers calls for a meta cloud, which smoothens the jagged cloud landscape. We discuss our proposal for such a meta cloud, and explain how it solves the lock-in problems that current users of public and hybrid clouds face. The cloud computing paradigm has found widespread adoption throughout the last years. The reason ...

With the rapid development of network technology in recent years, more and more innovative computing models and related applications appear, such as mobile device based cloud computing, social network, intelligent manufacturing and e‐business, et al. Under these situations, massive data will be generated, stored and processed under various circumstances and different requirement. In order to ef...

Cloud computing is becoming the new generation computing infrastructure, and many cloud vendors provide different types of cloud services. How to choose the best cloud services for specific applications is very challenging. Addressing this challenge requires balancing multiple factors, such as business demands, technologies, policies and preferences in addition to the computing requirements. Th...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to verify and realize, with the use of Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the interactive effects of cloud technology investment on flexible manufacturing capabilities and logistics capabilities respectively. Research subjects are the section chiefs and managers working at Taiwan-listed photovoltaic companies. The simple Random Sampling method is adopted, and St...

More and more clients would like to store their data to PCS (public cloud servers) along with the rapid development of cloud computing. New security problems have to be solved in order to help more clients process their data in public cloud. When the client is restricted to access PCS, he will delegate its proxy to process his data and upload them. On the other hand, remote data integrity check...
