Cloudbus Toolkit for Market-Oriented Cloud Computing

This keynote paper: (1) presents the 21st century vision of computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising to deliver computing as a utility; (2) defines the architecture for creating market-oriented Clouds and computing atmosphere by leveraging technologies such as virtual machines; (3) provides thoughts on market-based resource management strategies that encompass both customer-driven service management and computational risk management to sustain SLA-oriented resource allocation; (4) presents the work carried out as part of our new Cloud Computing initiative, called Cloudbus: (i) Aneka, a Platform as a Service software system containing SDK (Software Development Kit) for construction of Cloud applications and deployment on private or public Clouds, in addition to supporting market-oriented resource management; (ii) internetworking of Clouds for dynamic creation of federated computing environments for scaling of elastic applications; (iii) creation of 3rd party Cloud brokering services for building content delivery networks and e-Science applications and their deployment on capabilities of IaaS providers such as Amazon along with Grid mashups; (iv) CloudSim supporting modelling and simulation of Clouds for performance studies; (v) Energy Efficient Resource Allocation Mechanisms and Techniques for creation and management of Green Clouds; and (vi) pathways for future research.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, Conference pape

Internet of robotic things : converging sensing/actuating, hypoconnectivity, artificial intelligence and IoT Platforms

The Internet of Things (IoT) concept is evolving rapidly and influencing newdevelopments in various application domains, such as the Internet of MobileThings (IoMT), Autonomous Internet of Things (A-IoT), Autonomous Systemof Things (ASoT), Internet of Autonomous Things (IoAT), Internetof Things Clouds (IoT-C) and the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) etc.that are progressing/advancing by using IoT technology. The IoT influencerepresents new development and deployment challenges in different areassuch as seamless platform integration, context based cognitive network integration,new mobile sensor/actuator network paradigms, things identification(addressing, naming in IoT) and dynamic things discoverability and manyothers. The IoRT represents new convergence challenges and their need to be addressed, in one side the programmability and the communication ofmultiple heterogeneous mobile/autonomous/robotic things for cooperating,their coordination, configuration, exchange of information, security, safetyand protection. Developments in IoT heterogeneous parallel processing/communication and dynamic systems based on parallelism and concurrencyrequire new ideas for integrating the intelligent “devices”, collaborativerobots (COBOTS), into IoT applications. Dynamic maintainability, selfhealing,self-repair of resources, changing resource state, (re-) configurationand context based IoT systems for service implementation and integrationwith IoT network service composition are of paramount importance whennew “cognitive devices” are becoming active participants in IoT applications.This chapter aims to be an overview of the IoRT concept, technologies,architectures and applications and to provide a comprehensive coverage offuture challenges, developments and applications

Comparison on OpenStack and OpenNebula performance to improve multi-Cloud architecture on cosmological simulation use case

With the increasing numbers of Cloud Service Providers and the migration of the Grids to the Cloud paradigm, it is necessary to be able to leverage these new resources. Moreover, a large class of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications can run these resources without (or with minor) modifications. But using these resources come with the cost of being able to interact with these new resource providers. In this paper we introduce the design of a HPC middleware that is able to use resources coming from an environment that compose of multiple Clouds as well as classical \hpc resources. Using the \diet middleware, we are able to deploy a large-scale, distributed HPC platform that spans across a large pool of resources aggregated from different providers. Furthermore, we hide to the end users the difficulty and complexity of selecting and using these new resources even when new Cloud Service Providers are added to the pool. Finally, we validate the architecture concept through cosmological simulation RAMSES. Thus we give a comparison of 2 well-known Cloud Computing Software: OpenStack and OpenNebula.Avec l'augmentation du nombre de fournisseurs de service Cloud et la migration des applications depuis les grilles de calcul vers le Cloud, il est nécessaire de pouvoir tirer parti de ces nouvelles ressources. De plus, une large classe des applications de calcul haute performance peuvent s'exécuter sur ces ressources sans modifications (ou avec des modifications mineures). Mais utiliser ces ressources vient avec le coût d'être capable d'intéragir avec des nouveaux fournisseurs de ressources. Dans ce papier, nous introduisons la conception d'un nouveau intergiciel HPC qui permet d'utiliser les ressources qui proviennent d'un environement composé de plusieurs Clouds comme des ressources classiques. En utilisant l'intergiciel \diet, nous sommes capable de déployer une plateforme HPC distribuée et large échelle qui s'étend sur un large ensemble de ressources aggrégées entre plusieurs fournisseurs Cloud. De plus, nous cachons à l'utilisateur final la difficulté et la complexité de sélectionner et d'utiliser ces nouvelles ressources quand un nouveau fournisseur de service Cloud est ajouté dans l'ensemble. Finalement, nous validons notre concept d'architecture via une application de simulation cosmologique RAMSES. Et nous fournissons une comparaison entre 2 intergiciels de Cloud: OpenStack et OpenNebula
