cloudcomputing provides a new paradigm for industries to meet the emerging business needs by accessing distributedcomputing resources such as infrastructure, hardware and software applications on-demand over the internet as services. As the technology and the need is growing very fast, in future there may be multiple vendors offering different services with different Quality of Services (QoS) and at various prices. This would lead to development of new methods and tools for the performance evaluation of the system to meet the offerings and requirements. In this paper, we present an analytical finite population model for performance evaluation of a private cloudcomputing system. Various performance measures of the cloud system for finite population environment indicate that the proposed provisioning technique helps the cloud operators in tuning the resources accordingly to improve the QoS targets.
The cloudcomputing is a new computing model which comes from gridcomputing, distributedcomputing, parallelcomputing, virtualization technology, utility computing and other computer technologies and it has more adv...

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is one of the key services in cloudcomputing. It plays an important role in creating reliable, flexible, cost-efficient and open platform for educational system. Several computing platform already exists. However, nearly all current available cloudcomputing platforms are either proprietary or their software infrastructure is invisible to the research community, for universities and research institutes, more open and testable experimental platforms are needed in a lab-level with PCs. Traditional way of building platform have always been very complicated and expensive, in many IT settings platform get installed at every local PC's, this process dramatically increase the time and cost of managing, maintaining, and it's not accessible to user anytime on any device. Instead of developing an individual PC's, the entire package can be stored in centralized hub, in a cloud environment, and can be accessed any time anywhere, which can be achieved by different level of virtualization. Inspired by these reasons, an XCP based service provisioning and managing framework has been proposed and implemented, that would be an appropriate solution to create an open and flexible platform for educational system.

With the rapid development of mobile networking and device capability, energy efficiency becomes an important design consideration due to the limited battery life of mobile terminals. Processing energy cost by CPU is one of the most significant power consuming components in mobile terminals. The emergence of mobile cloudcomputing (MCC) provides the opportunity to save processing energy through the way of offloading computation tasks to remote server(s). In recent years, considerable research has been devoted to computation offloading to achieve energy efficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive summary of recent work, investigates representative infrastructure of computation offloading, and analyzes key components and future design trends of energy efficient mobile applications. Index Terms-Mobile terminal, energy, computation offloading, cloudcomputing.

In this paper, we present the actual architecture of Acigna-G, our cloud-oriented gridcomputing platform and the ongoing deployment of a MAS algorithm for brain segmentation. Also, we discuss three important improvements for this platform to allow the deployment of brain dMRI cloud services: HTTP/Restful oriented computing services for the management of user's service requests, application-level virtualization coupled with distributedcomputing models, and separation of user request management andcomputing tasks execution as found on actual PaaS cloud Services. Such architecture would offer a convenient deployment and use of brain dMRI PaaS/SaaS cloud Services onto a computinggrid.

Over the last decade, with the increasing performance and programmability of Graphics processing unit (GPU), these units have evolved from specialty hardware to massively parallel general computation devices. Simulation of neutron transport plays an important role in national economical construction and large-scale computing in science andengineering. MC (Monte Carlo) simulation of neutron transport owns great advantage over the determined methods to solve some complex types of particle transport. It is the disadvantage that the computational complexity of MC method is very huge. Due to the independence of samples in MC simulation, the algorithm of MC simulation is in principle well-suited to run on highly parallel GPU. However, the complexities of MC simulation of deep penetration particle transport bring serious difficulties in designing a GPU-based algorithm. We present an algorithm based GPU for MC deep penetration particle transport, in which a particle number based task decomposition method and high efficiency parallel data structure are proposed to match with the underlying GPU architecture. Results demonstrate that with the same computational accuracy as MCNP, MCNP-GPU referred to as MCNP integrated with our algorithm on M2050 achieves 3.53-fold and 7.26-fold speedup respectively by compared with MCNP running on X5670 and X5355.

The paper proposes a distributedcomputing framework that integrates parallel differential evolution (DE) and multi-agents. Given a complex high-dimensional optimization problem, our approach decomposes the problem into a set of sub-components, which are evolved by a set of Slave agents concurrently, and the results are synthesized and further evolved by a Master agent. As top-level agents of the framework, the Master and Slave agents can be divided into asynchronous teams of sub-agents including Constructors for solution initialization, Improvers for solution evolution, Repairers for constraint handling, Destroyers for keeping the quality and size of the population, etc., which share populations of solution vectors and cooperate to solve the problem efficiently. The proposed approach is highly parallelized, flexible, and scalable, and its efficiency is demonstrated by comparison with some state-of-the-art approaches.

In dependent task scheduling algorithms, task duplication is the finest scheduling technique for minimizing the response time of workflow application in gridcomputing system. When we apply task duplication scheduling algorithm on workflow application, we get shorter schedules (makespan) but it has one limitation that grid node can be overloaded due to duplications of tasks. In this paper we are proposing an algorithm in which we are focusing on three points (1) reducing makespan (2) reducing tasks duplication, and (3) achieving better processor utilization. For this we have suggested an algorithm (TLD-P) which is achieving good results for considered parameters as compared to the existing HLD and EDS-G algorithm.

With the advancement of new development technologies, softwares are developed with enormous size and complexities and there is a big challenge to minimize maintenance cost. In this paper, a case study is done to demonstrate the minimization of maintenance cost while injecting autonomic manager as a self-maintenance system. Autonomic manager is derived from autonomic computing. Autonomic computing has four self-* characteristics which are inspired by human nervous system, that is self-healing, self-optimization, self-protection and self-configuration.

The resources management in a gridcomputing is a complicated problem. Scheduling algorithms play important role in the parallel distributedcomputing systems for scheduling jobs, and dispatching them to appropriate resources. An efficient task scheduling algorithm is needed to reduce the total Time and Cost for job execution and improve the Load balancing between resources in the grid. In gridcomputing, load balancing is a technique to distribute workload fairly across computational resources, in order to obtain optimal resource utilization with minimum response time, and avoid overload. Load balancing is a crucial problem to gridcomputing. In this paper, we address scheduling problem of independent tasks in the market-based grid. In market grids, resource providers can request payment from users based on the amount of computational resource that used by them. Beside we consider Makespan and Load balancing. In this paper, NSGA II with Fuzzy Adaptive Mutation Operator is used to address independent task assignments problems in parallel distributedcomputing systems. Results obtained proved that our innovative algorithm converges to Pareto-optimal solutions faster and with more quality.
