The eucalyptus open-source cloud-computing system

by Daniel Nurmi, Rich Wolski, Chris Grzegorczyk, Graziano Obertelli, Sunil Soman, Lamia Youseff, Dmitrii Zagorodnov - In Proceedings of Cloud Computing and Its Applications [Online
"... Cloud computing systems fundamentally provide access to large pools of data and computational resources through a variety of interfaces similar in spirit to existing grid and HPC resource management and programming systems. These types of systems offer a new programming target for scalable applicati ..."

. In this work, we present EUCALYPTUS – an opensource software framework for cloud computing that implements what is commonly referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS); systems that give users the ability to run and control entire virtual machine instances deployed across a variety physical resources. We

Benchmarking cloud serving systems with ycsb

by Brian F. Cooper, Adam Silberstein, Erwin Tam, Raghu Ramakrishnan, Russell Sears - SoCC
"... While the use of MapReduce systems (such as Hadoop) for large scale data analysis has been widely recognized and studied, we have recently seen an explosion in the number of systems developed for cloud data serving. These newer systems address “cloud OLTP ” applications, though they typically do not ..."

SQL implementation. We also hope to foster the development of additional cloud benchmark suites that represent other classes of applications by making our benchmark tool available via open source. In this regard, a key feature of the YCSB framework/tool is that it is extensible—it supports easy definition of new

Active Cloud DB: A RESTful Software-as-a-Service for Language Agnostic Access to Distributed Datastores

by Chris Bunch, Jonathan Kupferman, Chandra Krintz
"... (SaaS) application that allows for RESTful access to cloud-based distributed datastore technologies that implement the Google Datastore API. We implement Active Cloud DB as a Google App Engine application that we employ to expose the Google App Engine Datastore API to developers – for use with any l ..."

Annotating Security in the Cloud

by John Edstrom, Michael Woods
"... Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings are fundamentally chang-ing traditionally held beliefs about software deployment en-vironments. Developers can no longer assume that they control the entirety of the software stack: the source, the compiler, the run-time environment, etc. In PaaS, develop-ers w ..."

make no guarantees to end users about the security of their data. To address these shortcomings of PaaS, we present An-noFlow, an annotation framework for CloudSpace (a PaaS offering) that allows developers to define application-specific data flow assertions. We demonstrate how developers can protect

REQUIREMENTS ELICITATION FRAMEWORK FOR CLOUD APPLICATIONS

by J. Vijayashree, Dr. Persis, Urbana Ivy, J. Jayashree
"... Abstract — Requirements elicitation helps in identifying the customers and stakeholders requirements in constructing software or a system. In this paper, literature survey is performed for the challenges and issues in different elicitation methods. From literature survey it is clear that there is no ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
that there is no relevant Elicitation Topic Map [1] for specific system and application domains. No standardized elicitation methods for cloud providers [2]. Large scale distributed software projects [3] suffer information overload, inadequate stakeholder input prioritization of requirements. The paper presents a

CloudER: A Framework for Automatic Software Vulnerability Location and Patching in the Cloud

by Ping Chen, Dongyan Xu, Bing Mao
"... In a virtualization-based cloud infrastructure, customers of the cloud deploy virtual machines (VMs) with their own applications and customized runtime environments. The cloud provider supports the execution of these VMs without detailed knowledge of the guest applications and operating systems in t ..."

of the software vulnerability – outside the VMs and without the source code. In this paper, we present CloudER, a cloud “emergency room ” architecture that automatically detect, locate, and patch software vulnerabilities in cloud application binaries at runtime. CloudER leverages an existing taint-based system

Turning Down the LAMP: Software Specialisation for the Cloud

by Anil Madhavapeddy, Richard Mortier, Ripduman Sohan, Thomas Gazagnaire, Steven H, Tim Deegan, Derek Mcauley, Jon Crowcroft
"... The wide availability of cloud computing offers an unprecedented opportunity to rethink how we construct applications. The cloud is currently mostly used to package up existing software stacks and operating systems (e.g. LAMP) for scaling out websites. We instead view the cloud as a stable hardware ..."

Smart Fabric – An Infrastructure-Agnostic Artifact Topology Deployment Framework

by Johannes M. Schleicher, Christian Inzinger, Schahram Dustdar
"... Abstract—The cloud computing paradigm enables the devel-opment of applications that can elastically react to changes in their environment by autonomously provisioning and releasing infrastructure resources. However, current applications need to be specifically tailored to a concrete cloud provider i ..."

Active Cloud DB: A Database-Agnostic HTTP API to Key-Value Datastores

by Chris Bunch, Jonathan Kupferman, Chandra Krintz - In UCSB CS
"... In this paper, we present a technique that connects web applications to cloud-based distributed datastore technologies that implement the Google App Engine cloud datastore API. We implement our approach as a Google App Engine (GAE) application that we employ to expose the GAE datastore API to develo ..."

to developers – for use with any language and framework. We evaluate this application on both GAE and over AppScale, the open-source implementation of GAE that removes the programming and library restrictions of GAE and that enables GAE applications to execute on virtualized cluster resources, including

Offloading Android Applications Framework with The Help of Cloud I

by Harsh Bandhu Parnami , Nishu Bansal , Mayank Arora
