Accounting and Billing for Federated Cloud Infrastructures

2009 Eighth International Conference on Grid and Cooperative Computing, 2009
Emerging Cloud computing infrastructures provide computing resources on demand based on postpaid principles. For example, the RESERVOIR project develops an infrastructure capable of delivering elastic capacity that can automatically be increased or decreased in order to cost-efficiently fulfill established Service Level Agreements.

A Metamodel for Measuring Accountability Attributes in the Cloud

2013 IEEE 5th International Conference on Cloud Computing Technology and Science, 2013
Cloud governance, and in particular data governance in the cloud, relies on different technical and organizational practices and procedures, such as policy enforcement, risk management, incident management and remediation. The concept of accountability encompasses such practices, and is essential for enhancing security and trustworthiness in the cloud.

A Survey on Cloud Accountability

2013 International Conference on Cloud Computing and Big Data, 2013
Recent advances in cloud computing technology now allow users to access data wherever they are. However, with these advances come some costs: cloud data is often stored and manipulated by remote machines that users have no access to. Moreover, cloud service providers often claim that their data is safe and secure, but users rarely have ways to make ...

Guiding Lights for Cloud Accountability

2018 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS), 2018
Security concerns are often cited as the most prominent reason for not using cloud computing [1]. At the same time, customers of cloud users, especially end-users, frequently do not understand the need to control access to personal information. This is particularly evident in the context of social media, where the users are not the customers, but the ...

Optimal Evidence Collection for Accountability in the Cloud

2018 IEEE 15th International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE), 2018
In multi-tenant cloud services, accountability can be used to strengthen the trust of tenants in the cloud. It provides the reassurance that the processing of personal data hosted in the cloud is done according to tenants' requirements (a.k.a. accountability obligations).

Accountability for Federated Clouds

2017
The evolution of software service delivery has changed the way accountability is performed. The complexity related to cloud computing environments increases the difficulty in properly performing accountability, since the evidences are spread through the whole infrastructure, from different servers at physical, virtualization, and application layers ...

Achieving Accountable MapReduce in cloud computing

Future Generation Computer Systems, 2014
MapReduce is a programming model that is capable of processing large data sets in distributed computing environments. The original MapReduce model was designed to be fault-tolerant in case of various network abnormalities. However, fault-tolerance does not guarantee that each working machine will be completely accountable; when nodes are malicious ...
