Elastic Resource Management In Distributed Clouds, Tian Guo Nov 2016

Elastic Resource Management In Distributed Clouds, Tian Guo

Doctoral Dissertations

The ubiquitous nature of computing devices and their increasing reliance on remote resources have driven and shaped public cloud platforms into unprecedented large-scale, distributed data centers. Concurrently, a plethora of cloud-based applications are experiencing multi-dimensional workload dynamics---workload volumes that vary along both time and space axes and with higher frequency. The interplay of diverse workload characteristics and distributed clouds raises several key challenges for efficiently and dynamically managing server resources. First, current cloud platforms impose certain restrictions that might hinder some resource management tasks. Second, an application-agnostic approach might not entail appropriate performance goals, therefore, requires numerous specific methods. Third, …


Sla Management In A Collaborative Network Of Federated Clouds: The Cloudland, Asma Obaid Subaih Ai Falasi Nov 2016

Sla Management In A Collaborative Network Of Federated Clouds: The Cloudland, Asma Obaid Subaih Ai Falasi

Theses

Cloud services have always promised to be available, flexible, and speedy. However, not a single Cloud provider can deliver such promises to their distinctly demanding customers. Cloud providers have a constrained geographical presence, and are willing to invest in infrastructure only when it is profitable to them. Cloud federation is a concept that collectively combines segregated Cloud services to create an extended pool of resources for Clouds to competently deliver their promised level of services. This dissertation is concerned with studying the governing aspects related to the federation of Clouds through collaborative networking. The main objective of this dissertation is …


Dynamic Workload Management In Hybrid Cloud Computing, Mohid Emrooz, Mohammad Munawar Khan, Qutub Mohiuddin Apr 2016

Dynamic Workload Management In Hybrid Cloud Computing, Mohid Emrooz, Mohammad Munawar Khan, Qutub Mohiuddin

All Capstone Projects

The main core part of this hybrid computing model, a very intelligent or skilled workload managing service has been designed for better throughput of proactive workload management. It allows a collaboration between on- and off-premise clouds structures for hosting Internet-based applications for clients in the organization, also its main striking feature lies in the explicit segregation of its modules like base workload and flash crowd workload, The main benefit of this application is that its service uses a very fast frequent data item detection algorithm, which allows the application to be robust and very fast processing of large volume of …


Information-Theoretic Secure Outsourced Computation In Distributed Systems, Zhaohong Wang Jan 2016

Information-Theoretic Secure Outsourced Computation In Distributed Systems, Zhaohong Wang

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

Secure multi-party computation (secure MPC) has been established as the de facto paradigm for protecting privacy in distributed computation. One of the earliest secure MPC primitives is the Shamir's secret sharing (SSS) scheme. SSS has many advantages over other popular secure MPC primitives like garbled circuits (GC) -- it provides information-theoretic security guarantee, requires no complex long-integer operations, and often leads to more efficient protocols. Nonetheless, SSS receives less attention in the signal processing community because SSS requires a larger number of honest participants, making it prone to collusion attacks. In this dissertation, I propose an agent-based computing framework using …
