In the context of the efforts to organize the knowledge in the new and emerging area of Cloud Computing we performed an analysis of relevant existing developments and built on this basis a framework for a semantic registry of cloud services. The framework contains core ontological definitions and extension mechanisms used to define ontologies for cloud services, related to the aspects of semantic discovery and composition of cloud services. The relevance of the proposed registry can be assessed in relation with cloud interoperability, cloud service composition, as well as software services that offer support for finding and selecting cloud services and for marketing advantages of different cloud providers.

Network tomography is the problem of discovering the delay and loss rate of the internal links of a network, assuming the internal nodes are not cooperating. The first step to solving this problem is finding network topology. Well-known tools such as trace route solve this problem, however they depend on cooperation of the internal nodes. This paper studies the problem of topology identification without relying on the cooperation of the internal nodes of the network. First, we suggest a novel probing scheme which is based on end-to-end unicast delay measurements. We then introduce a topology inference algorithm which uses the information from this probing scheme to find the topology of the network. Our experiments show that this approach improves the topology identification process compared to previous methods.

This paper describes a work-in-progress programming experiment where the playground is an entire city. Based on the SmartSantander FIRE infrastructure, the City Script project is aimed at integrating and experimenting a Web of Things scenario in which sensors and actuators in the city have a digital counterpart and can eventually used to compose mashups with social networks and other digital online sources of data.

Video surveillance is used to solve the problems of public security and preservation of evidence. So far, many researchers have offered their secure systems. However, storage and streaming migration issues must be discussed in more detail. In the paper, a method for streaming service migration in a cloud video storage system and the system using the same are provided, and the cloud storage video system includes a directory host, stream processing apparatuses and detection apparatuses. The method includes: assigning a first stream processing apparatus to establish a first stream connection with a first detection apparatus among the detection apparatuses, and assigning at least a second stream processing apparatus to establish a second stream connection with the first detection apparatus but not to receive the video stream data from the first detection apparatus, and assigning the first processing apparatus to receive and store the video stream data from the first detection apparatus, and the second stream processing apparatus receives and stores the video stream data from the first detection apparatus when the directory host determines that the first stream connection is abnormal, and disconnects the first stream connection.

As the number of network services provided in fixed and mobile environments are increasing recently, it becomes harder to expect users to manually pick up appropriate services from all these available. Therefore, it has been proposed that network services are automatically selected in accordance with relational information among people and other social objects, i.e., locations, things and contents. The fusion of online and physical sensing platforms has brought about the possibility of building relational information from sensing data: online logs and sensing data collected at mobile devices could reflect what objects people are related to in their daily lives. The relational information can be represented as a graph in which each node could be a social object and each link could represent a direct relation between two nodes and is called relational metric. We discuss how to build relational metrics from sensing data and propose a system design for it.

The recent emphasis on monitoring and managing telecommunication networks in more intelligent and autonomic manner has led to the emergence and popularity of Machine Learning based Network Management Systems. In order to study the behavior and assess the performance of such NMS, it is essential that a suitable modeling and evaluation framework exists. The work presented here addresses this need and proposes an autonomic NMS which employs the prediction capabilities of the Bayesian Networks (BN) models. To achieve this, it formulates and models the BN-based Decision Support System for providing real-time decisions with regard to the Call Admission Control (CAC) problem in the Next Generation Network (NGN) environment. Simulated experiments are performed to verify the suitability and practicality of the proposed models. The novelty and relevance of this research is demonstrated through offline modeling and online performance evaluation of BNAC (Bayesian Networks-based Admission Control) by considering the metrics of Packet Delay, Packet Loss, Queue Size and Blocking Probability. The paper concludes that BNAC approach performs better than the Peak Rate CAC in terms of online CAC functionality.

Load balancing is the core of virtual resource management and scheduling in cloud computing. For network applications, the cost of user would be greatly saved if load balancer could dynamically adjust cluster resources in accordance with the current applied load. The current load balancing products of cloud, such as Amazon's ELB, can be used to manage virtual machines in the cloud. The main drawbacks are still only supporting template-based deployment of new virtual machines, not supporting the trend prediction, failing to gain resources dynamically, and not sufficiently providing the elastic management of resources. Since the virtual machine for load balancing management in cloud computing can be dynamically applied and released, an algorithm of prediction-based elastic load balancing resource management (TeraScaler ELB) is presented to overcome the drawbacks. Experiments have shown that the required number of virtual machines change in compliance with the change of network load, thus TeraScaler ELB is able to dynamically adjust the processing capacity of back-end server cluster with the applied load. Besides it could make full use of the 'use on demand' feature of cloud computing, TeraScaler ELB leads to a better application of prediction based load balancing in cloud computing. It concludes that compared with the traditional elastic resource management algorithm, TeraScaler ELB is more reasonable for providing scalability and high availability.

The usage of mobile ferries, under which we understand the nodes that transfer the data between other nodes in process of their movement, provides multiple benefits for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In the paper, we suggest and evaluate several different approaches and protocols for collecting the data using such ferries from isolated WSN sub networks for different scenarios. We present the results of the simulations that reveal the effects of the WSN density, ferry speed, node sleep policy and maximum hop limitation on the performance and required resources for the tested protocols.
