When users flood in cloud data centers, how to efficiently manage hardware resources and
virtual machines (VMs) in a data center to both lower economical cost and ensure a high …

Abstract Modern Cloud Data Centers exploit virtualization for efficient resource management
to reduce cloud computational cost and energy budget. Virtualization empowered by virtual …

Cloud Computing is a promising paradigm in comparison with traditional information
technology approaches, in which organizations and enterprises adopt elastic cloud services …

In the virtualization area, replication has been considered as a mechanism to provide high
availability. A high-availability system should be active most of the time, and this is the …

Datacenter virtualization technologies have attracted a lot of attention to enable various
cloud computing services and to facilitate virtual machine (VM) migration. VM migration can …

Live migration of virtual machines (VM) across distinct physical hosts is an important feature
of virtualization technology for maintenance, load-balancing and energy reduction …

In this paper we address the problem of network contention between the migration traffic and
the Virtual Machine (VM) application traffic for the live migration of co-located Virtual …

Digital watermarking technology is a frontier research field, and it serves an important role in
information security. According to the analysis of the definition and basic characteristics of …

Activity recognition has primarily addressed the identification of either actions or well-
defined interactions among objects in a scene. In this work, we extend the scope to the study …

We present a decentralized approach towards scalable and energy-efficient management of
virtual machine (VM) instances that are provisioned by large, enterprise clouds. In our …
