Chargeback for cloud services [PDF]
Future Generation Computer Systems, 2014 With pay-per-use pricing models, elastic scaling of resources, and the use of shared virtualized infrastructures, cloud computing offers more efficient use of capital and agility. To leverage the advantages of cloud computing, organizations have to introduce cloud-specific chargeback practices.

Geospatial services in the Cloud
Computers & Geosciences, 2014 AbstractData semantics play an extremely significant role in spatial data infrastructures by providing semantic specifications to geospatial data and enabling in this way data sharing and interoperability. By applying, on the fly, composite geospatial processes on the above data it is possible to produce valuable geoinformation over the web directly ...

Security governance as a service on the cloud [PDF]
Journal of Cloud Computing, 2018 AbstractSmall companies need help to detect and to respond to increasing security related threats. This paper presents a cloud service that automates processes that make checks for such threats, implement mitigating procedures, and generally instructs client companies on the steps to take.

Cloud Services Pricing Models [PDF]
, 2013 A major condition for commercial success is a well-defined pricing strategy, however, cloud service providers face many challenges around pricing. Clearness and transparency in pricing is beneficial for all the actors in the ecosystem, where the currently existing abundance of different pricing models makes decision making difficult for service ...

Confidential Execution of Cloud Services [PDF]
Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science, 2014 In this paper, we present Confidential Domain of Execution (CDE), a mechanism for achieving confidential execution of software in an otherwise untrusted environment, e.g., at a Cloud Service Provider. This is achieved by using an isolated execution environment in which any communication with the outside untrusted world is forcibly encrypted by trusted ...

Procedia Computer Science, 2015 AbstractIn recent years, types of user devices and applications for cloud services have grown rapidly with little standardization. The users prefer services that are on-demand, scalable, survivable and secure with usage-based billing. In order to meet these demands, service providers need to be able to quickly create the services and utilize their ...

Matching Cloud Services with TOSCA [PDF]
, 2013 The OASIS TOSCA specification aims at enhancing the portability of cloud-based applications by defining a language to describe and manage service orchestrations across heterogeneous clouds. A service template is defined as an orchestration of typed nodes, which can be instantiated by matching other service templates.

FedUp! Cloud Federation as a Service [PDF]
, 2016 Current solutions for establishing federations of clouds require applications to be installed on the individual members of the federation, which have to devote a certain amount of resources to services for federation managing. Moreover, additional interoperability requirements may need to be satisfied by individual clouds in order to join a federation.

Optimizing Service Ecosystems in the Cloud [PDF]
, 2013 A service ecosystem is a virtual space ideally distributed across networks and geographical areas where vast numbers of services and other digital entities can coexist and converge to form ad-hoc solutions. In this paper we present experimental results showing the performance of two optimization models in service ecosystem.
