Abstract

PurposeCloud computing originated in central data centers that are connected to the backbone of the Internet. The network transport to and from a distant data center incurs long latencies that hinder modern low-latency applications. In order to flexibly support the computing demands of users, cloud computing is evolving toward a continuum of cloud computing resources that are distributed between the end users and a distant data center. The purpose of this review paper is to concisely summarize the state-of-the-art in the evolving cloud computing field and to outline research imperatives.Design/methodology/approachThe authors identify two main dimensions (or axes) of development of cloud computing: the trend toward flexibility of scaling computing resources, which the authors denote as Flex-Cloud, and the trend toward ubiquitous cloud computing, which the authors denote as Ubi-Cloud. Along these two axes of Flex-Cloud and Ubi-Cloud, the authors review the existing research and development and identify pressing open problems.FindingsThe authors find that extensive research and development efforts have addressed some Ubi-Cloud and Flex-Cloud challenges resulting in exciting advances to date. However, a wide array of research challenges remains open, thus providing a fertile field for future research and development.Originality/valueThis review paper is the first to define the concept of the Ubi-Flex-Cloud as the two-dimensional research and design space for cloud computing research and development. The Ubi-Flex-Cloud concept can serve as a foundation and reference framework for planning and positioning future cloud computing research and development efforts.
Ubi Flex Cloud:无处不在的灵活云计算:现状和研究需求
目的云计算起源于连接到互联网主干的中央数据中心。往返于远程数据中心的网络传输会产生长延迟,这阻碍了现代低延迟应用程序。为了灵活地支持用户的计算需求,云计算正在向分布在最终用户和远程数据中心之间的云计算资源的连续体发展。这篇综述论文的目的是简要总结不断发展的云计算领域的最新技术,并概述研究的必要性。设计/方法论/方法作者确定了云计算发展的两个主要维度(或轴):扩展计算资源的灵活性趋势,作者将其称为Flex cloud,以及泛在云计算的趋势,作者称其为Ubi cloud。沿着Flex Cloud和Ubi Cloud这两个轴线,作者回顾了现有的研究和开发,并确定了亟待解决的问题。发现作者发现,广泛的研发工作已经解决了Ubi Cloud和Flex Cloud的一些挑战,迄今为止取得了令人兴奋的进展。然而,一系列广泛的研究挑战仍然存在,从而为未来的研究和开发提供了肥沃的领域。原创性/价值本文首次将Ubi Flex Cloud的概念定义为云计算研发的二维研究和设计空间。Ubi Flex Cloud概念可以作为规划和定位未来云计算研发工作的基础和参考框架。

期刊介绍: Applied Computing and Informatics aims to be timely in disseminating leading-edge knowledge to researchers, practitioners and academics whose interest is in the latest developments in applied computing and information systems concepts, strategies, practices, tools and technologies. In particular, the journal encourages research studies that have significant contributions to make to the continuous development and improvement of IT practices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries. By doing so, the journal attempts to bridge the gap between the academic and industrial community, and therefore, welcomes theoretically grounded, methodologically sound research studies that address various IT-related problems and innovations of an applied nature. The journal will serve as a forum for practitioners, researchers, managers and IT policy makers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management and evaluation of various IT applications. Contributions may deal with, but are not limited to: • Internet and E-Commerce Architecture, Infrastructure, Models, Deployment Strategies and Methodologies. • E-Business and E-Government Adoption. • Mobile Commerce and their Applications. • Applied Telecommunication Networks. • Software Engineering Approaches, Methodologies, Techniques, and Tools. • Applied Data Mining and Warehousing. • Information Strategic Planning and Recourse Management. • Applied Wireless Computing. • Enterprise Resource Planning Systems. • IT Education. • Societal, Cultural, and Ethical Issues of IT. • Policy, Legal and Global Issues of IT. • Enterprise Database Technology.
