Cloud infrastructures have seen increasing popularity for addressing the growing computational needs of today's scientific and engineering applications. However, resource management challenges exist in the elastic cloud environment, such as resource provisioning and task allocation, especially when data movement between multiple domains plays an important role. In this work, we study the impact of data-aware resource management and scheduling on scientific workflows in multicloud environments. We develop a workflow simulator based on a network simulation framework for fine-grained simulation for workflow computation and data movement. Using the workload traces from a production metagenomic data analysis service, we evaluate different resource scheduling mechanisms, including proposed data-aware scheduling policies under various resource and bandwidth configurations. The results of this work are expected to answer questions about how to provision computing resources for certain workloads efficiently and how to place tasks across multidomain clouds in order to reduce data movement costs for overall improved system performance.

Enterprise cloud tenants would store their outsourced cloud data in encrypted form for data privacy and security. However, flexible data access functions such as data searching is usually sacrificed as a result. Thus, enterprise tenants demand secure data retrieval and computation solution from the cloud provider, which will allow them to utilize cloud services without the risks of leaking private data to outsiders and even service providers. In this paper, we propose an exclusive-or (XOR) homomorphism encryption scheme to support secure keyword searching on encrypted data. First, this scheme specifies a new data protection method by encrypting the data and randomizing it by performing XOR operation with a random bit-string. Second, this scheme can effectively protect data-in-transit against passive attack such as cipher text analysis due to the randomization. Third, this scheme is lightweight and only requires a symmetric encryption scheme and bitwise operations, which requires processing time in the order of milliseconds.

With the wide adoption of cloud computing, the scientific applications are migrated to cloud for execution. The complex structure of scientific applications bring challenges to optimization scheduling scientific applications across multiple heterogeneous clouds. In this paper, the directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are adopted to represent scientific applications, which have different priorities in the process of scheduling. We propose a dynamic multi-cloud priority list scheduling algorithm (DMPLS), combining with workloads preemptive strategy and feedback mechanism to schedule scientific applications in time. Our algorithm regulates the workloads scheduling dynamically based on the updated information about the actual workloads execution time. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the average time to complete the applications compared with First-Come-First-Service and Round-Robin algorithm. Moreover, the advantage of the DMPLS algorithm is more significant under the severe resources confliction situations.

Software as a Service (SaaS) providers can serve thousands of customers, which have hundreds of thousands of overlapping requirements, using a single application instance to offer service at a lower price. Even with a potentially large number of customers with varying requirements, a multitenant application should make co-tenancy transparent to the tenants, which means that every tenant must appear to be the sole owner of the application, to achieve this, a highly configurable multitenant solution is needed. In this paper, we analyze variation in multiple tenants' requirements, to propose a classification for multitenant application requirements, and implement variability realization techniques depending on requirement levels. Furthermore, we prioritize the tenants' requirements to satisfy as many customer requirements as possible, and provide key guidelines to software architects and developers to implement a configuration layer in a multi-tenancy architecture.

The technology of Cloud Computing has shown its great power in consolidating and integrating compute resources for higher utilizing efficiency. With the cloud computing, the organizations or companies can own their hardware and software infrastructures easily. Because of the diversity of the operating systems and applications, it is very difficult or even impossible for administrator to deploy a large number of virtual machines within a short time manually. In this paper, we propose an automatic deployment mechanism on Open Stack, a popular Cloud Computing platform. This proposed system supports the automatic deployment service at both operating system level and application level. We also develop a dashboard to facilitate users operations. Without professional knowledge of cloud, Users also can deploy their systems and the applications expediently.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) provides efficient network and traffic management for data center network. As underlying devices in SDN, SDN switches must maintain a large number of hardware counters. Implementation of these counters faces serious challenges for SDN switches, i.e., High memory consumption and inflexibility. Thus, we previously proposed Software Defined Hardware Counters (SDHC), which decouples definition and implementation of counters to overcome these challenges. However, like traditional hardware counters, SDHC only supports passive statistical mode (i.e., The values of the counters can be only read passively by the controller). Based on the passive mode, most of applications need to send request messages at some frequency to obtain statistics, which causes some critical problems for SDN: i) low statistical accuracy, ii) high network bandwidth consumption. Hyper Software Defined Hardware Counters (Hyper SDHC) is thus proposed by extending SDHC. Through introducing the timer-triggering and updating-triggering statistics-reporting mechanisms, Hyper SDHC can naturally support active statistical mode, i.e., Counters actively report their values according to triggering condition. It can greatly enhance the statistical accuracy and reduce network bandwidth consumption between controller and switch. The demo of Hyper SDHC is implemented based on Net Magic platform. The demo will exhibit how Hyper SDHC works and how it supports a typical video quality monitor application.

Efficient resource utilization is one of the main concerns of cloud providers, as it has a direct impact on energy costs and thus their revenue. Virtual machine (VM) consolidation is one the common techniques, used by infrastructure providers to efficiently utilize their resources. However, when it comes to large-scale infrastructures, consolidation decisions become computationally complex, since VMs are multi-dimensional entities with changing demand and unknown lifetime, and users often overestimate their actual demand. These uncertainties urges the system to take consolidation decisions continuously in a real time manner. In this work, we investigate a decentralized approach for VM consolidation using Peer to Peer (P2P) principles. We investigate the opportunities offered by P2P systems, as scalable and robust management structures, to address VM consolidation concerns. We present a P2P consolidation protocol, considering the dimensionality of resources and dynamicity of the environment. The protocol benefits from concurrency and decentralization of control and it uses a dimension aware decision function for efficient consolidation. We evaluate the protocol through simulation of 100,000 physical machines and 200,000 VM requests. Results demonstrate the potentials and advantages of using a P2P structure to make resource management decisions in large scale data centers. They show that the P2P approach is feasible and scalable and produces resource utilization of 75% when the consolidation aim is 90%.

This paper proposes a replication cost model and two greedy algorithms, named GS QoS and GS QoS C1, for replication placements in cloud-based storage systems. The model aims to minimize replication cost with full consideration of quality of user access to storage nodes. Our two algorithms employ a utility measurement to guide placement procedures. Our final experimental results show that 1) GS QoS outperforms GS QoS C1, 2) both algorithms have more economical results than those from existing greedy replica placement algorithm.

Bandwidth and latency are two major factors that contribute the most to network application performance. Between each pair of switches in a network, there may be multiple paths connecting them. Each path has different properties because of multiple factors. Traditional shortest-path routing does not take this knowledge into consideration and may result in sub-optimal performance of applications and underutilization of network. We proposed a concept of "bandwidth and latency aware routing". The idea is that we could improve overall performance of the network by separating application into bandwidth-oriented and latency-oriented application and allocate different route for each type of application accordingly. We also proposed a design of this network system implemented using Open Flow. Routes are calculated from monitored information using Dijkstra algorithm and its variation. To support our design, we show a use case in which our design performs better than traditional routing as well as evaluation results.

Cloud application platforms gain popularity and have the potential to alter the way service based cloud applications are developed involving utilisation of platform basic services. A platform basic service is considered as a piece of software, which provides certain functionality and is usually offered via a web API, e.g. e-mail, payment, authentication service. However, the proliferation and diversification of platform basic services and the available providers increase the challenge for the application developers to integrate them and deal with the heterogeneous providers' web APIs. Therefore, a new approach of developing applications should be adopted in which developers leverage multiple platform basic services independently from the target application platforms. To this end, this paper presents a development framework whose objective is to enable the consistent integration of the platform services, and to allow the seamless use of the concrete providers by alleviating the heterogeneities among them.
