The cloud computing paradigm has the ability to adapt to new technologies and provide consistent cloud services. These features have led to the widespread use of the paradigm, making it necessary for the underlying computer infrastructure to cope with the increased demand and the high number of end users. Platforms often use classical mathematical models for this purpose, helping assign computational resources to the services provided to the final user. Although this kind of model is valid and widespread, it can be refined through intelligent techniques. Therefore, this research presents a novel system consisting of a multi-agent system, which integrates a case-based reasoning system. The resulting system dynamically allocates resources within a cloud computing platform. This approach, which is distributed and scalable, can learn from previous experiences and produce better results in each resource allocation. A model of the system has been implemented and tested on a real cloud platform with successful results.

Considering the low efficiency of massive data retrieving in traditional parallel processing, by taking advantage of the great availability of cloud computing paradigm, we propose a hybrid solution based on Map-Reduce model and distributed computing framework--Spark. Moreover, we design and implement this solution in our lab. The results show that the solution can effectively improve the performance of massive data retrieving.

This paper reviews, discusses, and highlights some of the standard cloud computing vulnerabilities primarily related to virtualization platforms and their implementations while outsourcing services and resources to different end-users and business enterprises. Furthermore, we provide Blockchain-enabled solutions for virtualized cloud computing platform involving both the end-users as well as cloud service providers (CSP) to address and solve different security and privacy-related vulnerabilities using blockchain-enabled solutions to improve their cloud services and resource provisioning facilities.

This paper describes our work on STORM CLOUDS[1], a project with the main objective of migrating smart-city services, that Public Authorities (PAs) currently provided using traditional Information Technology, to a cloud-based environment. Our organization was in charge of finding the technical solutions, so we designed and implemented a cloud computing solution called Storm Clouds Platform (SCP), for that purpose. In principle, the applications we ported could run on a public cloud service, like Amazon Web ServicesTM[2] or Microsoft® Azure[3], that provide computational resources on a pay-per-use paradigm. However, these solutions have disadvantages due to their proprietary nature: vendor lock-in is one of the issues but other serious problems are related to the lack of full control on how data and applications are processed in the cloud. As an example, when using a public cloud, the users of the cloud services have very little control on the location where applications run and data are stored, if there is any. This is identified as one of the most important obstacles in cloud computing adoption, particularly in applications manage personal data and the application provider has legal obligation of preserving end user privacy[4]. This paper explains how we faced the problem and the solutions we found. We designed a cloud computing platform — completely based on open software components — that can be used for either implementing private clouds or for porting applications to public clouds.

CloudStack is an Apache open source software that designed to install and handle large virtual machine (VM) networks, designed by Cloud.com and Citrix. This application is written in Java and was released under the terms of Apache License 2.0. This chapter discusses the easy availability and effortless scalability of CloudStack, which is an Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud computing platform software. We explore how CloudStack can either be used to setup public cloud services, or to provide a private cloud service.


End the age of digitalization, data generated from numerous online and offline sources in every second. The Data are having a considerable amount of size and several properties termed as Bigdata. It is challenging to store, manage processes, analyze, visualize, and extract useful information from Bigdata using traditional approaches in local machines. To resolve this cloud computing platform is the solution. Cloud computing has high-level processing units, storage, and applications that do not depend on user devices' performance. Many users can access resources and demanded services remotely from the cloud on a pay-as-use basis. That is why users are not needed to buy and install costly resources locally. Some cloud services providers are Google, AWS, IBM, and Microsoft, and they have their Bigdata analyzing robust systems and products in a cost-efficient manner. There are many Cloud Service Providers (CSP's) having different services of Bigdata analyzing filed. However, we discuss in the paper about an excellent service BigQuery in the Data warehouse product of Google to analyze and represent numerous samples of datasets in real-time for making the right decisions within a short time.
