Cloud computing has created a shift from the use of physical hardware and locally managed software-enabled platforms to that of virtualized cloud-hosted services. Cloud assembles large networks of virtual services, including hardware (CPU, storage, and network) and software resources (databases, message queuing systems, monitoring systems, and load-balancers). As Cloud continues to revolutionize applications in academia, industry, government, and many other fields, the transition to this efficient and flexible platform presents serious challenges at both theoretical and practical levels—ones that will often require new approaches and practices in all areas. Comprehensive and timely, Cloud ...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2009, held in Poznan, Poland, in October 2009. The 33 revised full papers and 17 revised short papers presented together with two keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from around 144 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on web computing, industrial session, tagging, semantics, search, visualization, web services, trust and uncertainty, recommendation and quality of service, user interfaces, web understanding, exploiting structures information on the web, systems, data mining and querying, querying and workflow and architecture.
"Content Delivery Networks" enables the readers to understand the basics, to identify the underlying technology, to summarize their knowledge on concepts, ideas, principles and various paradigms which span on broad CDNs areas. Therefore, aspects of CDNs in terms of basics, design process, practice, techniques, performances, platforms, applications, and experimental results have been presented in a proper order. Fundamental methods, initiatives, significant research results, as well as references for further study have also been provided. Comparison of different design and development approaches are described at the appropriate places so that new researchers as well as advanced practitioners ...
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Grid Economics and Business Models held in August 2007. The twelve full papers are organized into topical sections covering grid business modeling, market mechanisms for the grid, and economic grid service provisioning. The proceedings are rounded off by six project reports that give an overview of current and ongoing research in grid economics.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems, OPODIS 2004, held at Grenoble, France, in December 2004. The 30 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on design of distributed systems, ad-hoc networks and mobile agents, grid and networks, security, distributed algorithms, self-stabilization, sensor networks, and task/resource allocation.
Semantic technologies are experimenting an increasing popularity in the context of different domains and applications. The understanding of any class of system can be significantly changed under the assumption any system is part of a global ecosystem known as Semantic Web.The Semantic Web would be an evolving extension of current Web model (normally referred as Syntactic Web) that introduces a semantic layer in which semantics, or meaning of information, are formally defined.So, semantics should integrate web-centric standard information infrastructures improving several aspects of interaction among heterogeneous systems. This is because common interoperability models are progressively becom...
"This book is a collection of the papers presented at the 32nd Communicating Process Architecture conference (CPA), held at the Technical University Eindhoven, the Netherlands, from the 1st to the 4th of November 2009. Concurrency is a fundamental mechanism of the universe, existing in all structures and at all levels of granularity. To be useful in this universe, any computer system has to model and reflect an appropriate level of abstraction. For simplicity, therefore, the system needs to be concurrent - so that this modeling is obvious and correct. Today, the commercial reality of multicore processors means that concurrency issues can no longer be ducked if applications are going to be ab...
Cloud Computing has grown popular as a new prototype for providing services over the Internet. This introductory textbook on Cloud Computing is suitable for undergraduate students of computer science engineering, and for postgraduate students of computer science and computer applications. It teaches both the basic concepts and cloud technologies by adopting a straightforward approach of presenting theoretical concepts and cloud models. Several Cloud providers of distinct types are discussed here with their advantages and disadvantages. Different cloud services are also covered in this book. The book advances on the cloud architecture and cloud examples that are latest in market. Salient Features Clear and concise explanations Discussion on cloud models with diagrams In-depth analysis of various cloud architectures Numerous case studies Several questions from previous question papers
