This paper concerns auto-scaling techniques for dynamically controlling the number of resources used by the client enterprise. We focus on proactive auto-scaling that is based on predictions of future workload based on the past workload. The primary goal of the auto-scaling techniques is to achieve a profit for the intermediary enterprise while maintaining a desired grade of service for the client enterprise. The technique supports both on demand requests and requests with service level agreements (SLAs). This paper presents an auto-scaling algorithm and includes a discussion of system design and implementation experience for a prototype system that implements the technique. A detailed performance analysis based on measurements made on the prototype is presented.","PeriodicalId":106002,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE World Congress on Services","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130205745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, in order to provide a powerful function to a specific problematic, several web services should combine and work together. Such a collaboration of web services is regarded as web service composition. There are two main difficulties in web service composition: selecting web services as partners and making interactions among these web services. A web service works as a functional black box, it takes in inputs and generates outputs. For a specific web services, both the inputs and the outputs are in specific formats. In order to make interactions among web services, it is necessary to be synergistic among their inputs and outputs. To generate specific inputs for a particular web service, the outputs from one or several other web services should transform the formats and combine together. This paper presents an automatic model transformation methodology, which focuses on transforming and combining outputs to generate inputs for web services. This automatic model transformation methodology regards all web services' inputs and outputs as models. In order to do the transformation and combination process efficiently and effectively, syntactic checking and semantic checking measurements have been combined into a refined model transformation process.","PeriodicalId":106002,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE World Congress on Services","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128581879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Followed by this new emerging paradigm, functions would be designed and developed as components, deployed separately and provided as services for integration. In generally, experienced developers tend to introduce some reusable distributed service frameworks in their projects. These frameworks are usually developed based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and take charge of Remote Procedure Call (RPC), distributed service collaboration, remote service communication and other common duties. It has been proved that these distributed service frameworks are a kind of effective software infrastructures to facilitate development. However, in large-scale cloud ecosystems development, chaos might occur if interdependent remote services composed together to enable cloud services and complex systems. Towards this problem, this paper proposes a novel framework developed by leveraging a platform as a unified access gateway of remote services for different cloud services in the ecosystem. Experimental results show that the framework could effectively reduce the development difficulty of the large-scale cloud ecosystems, and improve the performance of the developed systems.","PeriodicalId":106002,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE World Congress on Services","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130093262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One consequence of this cloud model is the huge amount of energy consumption and significant carbon footprints caused by large cloud infrastructures. A key and common objective of cloud service providers is thus to develop cloud application deployment and management solutions with minimum energy consumption while guaranteeing performance and other QoS specified in Service Level Agreements (SLAs). However, finding the best deployment configuration that maximises energy efficiency while guaranteeing system performance is an extremely challenging task, which requires the evaluation of system performance and energy consumption under various workloads and deployment configurations. In order to simplify this process we have developed Stress Cloud, an automatic performance and energy consumption analysis tool for cloud applications in real-world cloud environments. Stress Cloud supports the modelling of realistic cloud application workloads, the automatic generation of load tests, and the profiling of system performance and energy consumption. We demonstrate the utility of Stress Cloud by analysing the performance and energy consumption of a cloud application under a broad range of different deployment configurations.","PeriodicalId":106002,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE World Congress on Services","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123402501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other approaches are interested to integrate the notion of adaptation to select services that satisfies the users context.Finally other approaches are interested to satisfy the goal of users by integrate the notion of goal. In our opinion, these three approaches are complementary. Such as the satisfaction of intentions user is meaningful only if it meets in user context and the service possesses a better QoS.

Using these controls, users are enabled to construct their own tasks autonomously by using resources of their own choice from across the cloud. I propose using web tasking over the cloud as a tasking approach to provide (1) average users consistent and universal tasking experience across the cloud despite of the resource diversity, and also, to provide (2) developers prescriptive, standard-ready software engineering steps to produce and contribute web-tasking resources. This proposed approach also provides (3) built-in interoperability. Users can use web-tasking resources produced by independent parties and expect that they can interoperate seamlessly together.

The main aim of this paper is to identify and address service-level interoperability issues when using APIs from different commercial providers of platform as a service. First, we define use case to add current user information from one platform as a service offer to the application hosted on another offer. To address interoperability problems, the ontology driven data mediation will be used and tested in this use case. Remote vendors' APIs are implemented as web services. Resulting web operations and their inputs/outputs are semantically annotated using cross-PaaS concepts from the developed platform as a service OWL ontology. Next, SAWSDL and XSLT are used to define service type mappings. Actual composition of platform as a service APIs is implemented by means of AI planner and developed Java web application. Testing and validation was performed on a case where current Sales force's user is added to data container in Vosao content management system deployed on Google App Engine. Novelty of the paper is a specific application domain (composition of operations defined in PaaS APIs) and new algorithm for identification of interoperability problems.","PeriodicalId":106002,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE World Congress on Services","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121148034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using purely syntactic approaches to discover Web services has limited efficiency. Therefore, semantic matchmaking registries can play an important role in providing better results. However, most of the semantic registries make decisions based on only functional requirements. Due to the proliferation of Web services that have similar functionality, there is a need to further filter Web services according to Quality of Service (QoS) specifications. This work introduces a rich QoS ontology inspired from the World Wide Web Consortium that defines relationships among QoS attributes. The QoS attributes defined here are mainly used to define network related characteristics. However, the work can be extended by defining QoS ontologies for other domains. Additionally, we extend the test collection OWLS-TC according to the QoS ontology. The extension is intended to integrate quantified values for QoS attributes into Web service descriptions. A matchmaking algorithm based on similarity measurements is presented. Moreover, deterministic and adaptive parameter control techniques are introduced to guide the requester, when needed, to adjust QoS specifications so better similarity can be achieved. Parameter control algorithms integrate Pellet, an OWL reasoner, to reason about dependencies among QoS concepts in the QoS ontology.","PeriodicalId":106002,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE World Congress on Services","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121949782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a migration is also often only justified if it could be done seamlessly, with as few changes to the system as possible. Transparent Data Encryption could help, but solutions for TDE shipped with major database systems are limited to securing only data-at-rest, and appear to be useless if the machine could be physically accessed by the adversary, which is a probable risk when hosting in the cloud.
