Advancements in the application service provisioning have created stringent scenarios in the world of cloud. The framework now needs to comply with specific requirements of consumers with specific demands. The diversified needs of storage and other related services in the dynamically changing needs of consumers. Such application requirements are becoming frequent as a consequence to high performance computing and large data/information retrievals. At the same time, understandings between the Cloud and its consumers have to be more transparent and should work under pre-defined terms. This leads to a committed Quality of Service delivered which directly effects revenues. To bring in transparency and durability between the service providers and service seekers, there is a need of a Techno Commercial Service Level Agreement that fixes responsibility of both parties. In this work, authors propose and implement an algorithm for meta scheduling that envisages enforcement of SLA apart from managing the distinct cloud applications such as storage. The work assesses the changes brought in terms of revenues, QoS enhancement, recoveries, building long term ties etc.. The results have been found to be encouraging while testing the scheduler proposed with stringent service level conditions well. The agreement imposes clear by laws and penalties to the bi-part irate redressed on service provider cloud & the consumers. The frame work is tested and achieves objectives & goals with specific features suitable for storage cloud.

Koltuk, Furkan; Yazar, Alper; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (2019-04-01)
In this paper, we propose CLOUDGEN workflow that produces synthetic workloads for Infrastructure and Platform as a Service for the evaluation of resource management approaches in cloud computing systems. To this end, CLOUDGEN systematically processes and clusters records in a given workload trace and fits distributions for different workload parameters within the clusters. Different than the previous work, clustering is carried out to produce different virtual machine types for achieving models that are sui...
PLGAKD: A PUF-based Lightweight Group Authentication and Key Distribution Protocol
Yıldız, Hüsnü; Cenk, Murat; Onur, Ertan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-11-01)
Securing Internet of Things (IoT) applications that collect and transport sensitive data by guaranteeing authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality is a critical challenge. Reducing computation and communication overhead of security functions is also a key concern since a large number of constrained devices may take place in such applications. Our main focus in this paper is group authentication and key management in IoT. The existing group authentication and key management protocols in the literature per...
EPICS: A Framework for Enforcing Security Policies in Composite Web Services
Ranchal, Rohit; Bhargava, Bharat; Angın, Pelin; ben Othmane, Lotfi (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-05-01)
With advances in cloud computing and the emergence of service marketplaces, the popularity of composite services marks a paradigm shift from single-domain monolithic systems to cross-domain distributed services, which raises important privacy and security concerns. Access control becomes a challenge in such systems because authentication, authorization and data disclosure may take place across endpoints that are not known to clients. The clients lack options for specifying policies to control the sharing of...
Automated Web Services Composition with the Event Calculus
Aydin, Onur; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Cicekli, Ilyas (2007-10-24)
As the web services proliferate and complicate it is becoming an overwhelming job to manually prepare the web service compositions which describe the communication and integration between web services. This paper analyzes the usage of the Event Calculus, which is one of the logical action-effect definition languages, for the automated preparation and execution of web service compositions. In this context, abductive planning capabilities of the Event Calculus are utilized. It is shown that composite process ...
Semantic Annotation of Web Services with Lexicon-Based Alignment
Cantürk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar (2011-07-04)
As the number of available web services published in registries and on web sites increases, web service discovery becomes a challenging task. One solution to the problem is to use distributed web service search system composed of domain specific sub service discoverers. Using ontology is the most common practice to specify domain knowledge. However, an important problem at this point is the lack of semantic annotation for currently available web services. For this reason, there is a strong need for a mechan...
