In order to fully characterize the cloud firewall operation and gain actionable insights on the design of cloud security, performance models for the...

Cloud Computing has assumed a relevant role in the ICT, profoundly influencing the life-cycle of modern applications in the manner they are designed, developed, deployed and operated. In this paper, we tackle the problem of supporting the design-time analysis of Cloud applications to identify a cost-optimized strategy for allocating components onto...

Edge computing is a new computing paradigm, which aims at enhancing user experience by bringing computing resources closer to where data is produced by Internet of Things (IoT). Edge services are provided by small data centers located at the edge of the network, called cloudlets. However, IoT users often face strict Quality of Service (QoS) constra...

Cloud computing offers on-demand availability of computing resources over the Internet. To attract users, cloud providers offer their resources as services at reasonable prices and provide various price models to reflect higher level of quality of service (QoS), which are referred as pricing schemes. k-times anonymous authentication (k-TAA) is an a...

Cloud computing (CC) is a centralized computing paradigm that accumulates resources centrally and provides these resources to users through Internet. Although CC holds a large number of resources, it may not be acceptable by real-time mobile applications, as it is usually far away from users geographically. On the other hand, edge computing (EC), w...

Edge node placement is a key topic to edge cloud systems for that it affects their service performances significantly. Previous solutions based on the existing information are not suitable for the mobile environment due to the mobility and random Internet access of end users. In this paper, we propose a dynamic virtual edge node placement scheme, i...

Containers are lightweight and provide the potential to reduce more energy consumption of data centers than Virtual Machines (VMs) in container-based clouds. The on-line resource allocation is the most common operation in clouds. However, the on-line Resource Allocation in Container-based clouds (RAC) is new and challenging because of its two-level...

Cloud computing has significantly enhanced the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) by ensuring and supporting the Quality of Service (QoS) of IoT applications. However, cloud services are still far from IoT devices. Notably, the transmission of IoT data experiences network issues, such as high latency. In this case, the cloud platforms cannot sa...
