Serving large number of users without compromising service availability and performance is key to the success of the Cloud. A fundamental challenge in building such services is incorporating scalability and fail safe techniques for discovering and provisioning of resources. As Peer to Peer (P2P) architectures are invincible to these setbacks, the work proposes a P2P based resource discovery and...

Cloud computing is a recent advancement wherein IT infrastructure and applications are provided as “services” to endusers under a usage-based payment model. They can leverage virtualized services even on the fly based on requirements (workload patterns and QoS) varying with time. The application services hosted under Cloud computing model have complex provisioning, composition, configuration, a...

Popular web applications like Facebook, Google Search Engine or Amazon have to face major challenges. First of all, the volume of data that has to be managed by these applications goes far beyond the limits of traditional data bases. As a reaction, a new generation of very scalable storing solutions, NoSQL data stores, has been design by the major Internet companies. Another important challenge...

While considering the virtual cloud environment and various terms associated with it resource provisioning and load balancing are the main areas where research work has been going on at vast pace. Here we will discuss the various things related to the cloud environment. The main objective of our work is to compare the load balancing and resource provisioning algorithm (i.e. Batch Mode Heuristic...

The cloud computing paradigm provides a shared pool of resources and services with different models delivered to the customers through the Internet via an on-demand dynamically-scalable form charged using a pay-per-use model. The main problem we tackle in this paper is to optimize the resource provisioning task by shortening the completion time for the customers’ tasks while minimizing the asso...

Workflow execution in the cloud is a novel field for processoriented case-based reasoning (PO-CBR). In contrast to traditional POCBR approaches where the focus is usually on single workflow instances, an entire set of workflow instances is considered that are currently running on cloud resources. While traditional methods such as running a workflow management tool monolithically on cloud resour...

Today’s highly successful Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) have millions of registered users and hundreds of thousands of active concurrent players. Motivated by performance and portability, MMOG operators currently pre-provision and then maintain throughout the lifetime of the game tens of thousands of compute resources in data centers located across the world. In contrast, virtualiz...

This paper reports on experience with using semantically-enabled network resource models to construct an operational multi-domain networked infrastructure-as-a-service (NIaaS) testbed called ExoGENI, recently funded through NSF’s GENI project. A defining property of NIaaS is the deep integration of network provisioning functions alongside the more common storage and computation provisioning fun...

The cloud computing is an emerging technology that relies on underlying resource provisioning, which is achieved through virtualization. Virtualization is commonly implemented with Hypervisor to handle Virtual Machine (VM). In this paper, the decision engine is used to provision the resource, which continuously learns take action to change the amount of provisioned resources according to the cu...

17ANSP-BD-001 Hadoop Performance Modeling for JobEstimation and Resource Provisioning MapReduce has become a major computing model for data intensive applications. Hadoop, an open source implementationof MapReduce, has been adopted by an increasingly growing user community. Cloud computing service providers such as AmazonEC2 Cloud offer the opportunities for Hadoop users to lease a certain amou...
