The cloud phenomenon is quickly becoming an important service in Internet computing.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in cloud computing is one of the most significant and …

For task-scheduling problems in cloud computing, a multi-objective optimization method is
proposed here. First, with an aim toward the biodiversity of resources and tasks in cloud …

Public clouds provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to users who do not own sufficient
compute resources. IaaS achieves the economy of scale by multiplexing, and therefore …

Cloud computing is now a well-consolidated paradigm for on-demand services provisioning
on a pay-as-you-go model. Elasticity, one of the major benefits required for this computing …

Scientific workflows are often deployed across multiple cloud computing platforms due to
their large-scale characteristic. This can be technically achieved by expanding a cloud …

In rapid changing the global business environment, information communication technology
(ICT) is essential for the survival of a firm, and the functions of ICT is becoming increasingly …

In the context of fifth-generation mobile networks, the concept of “Slice as a Service”
promotes mobile network operators to flexibly share infrastructures with mobile service …
