To grow crops in greenhouse complexes, it is necessary to maintain the microclimatic conditions required for these crops and monitor them. Automation of these processes is an urgent task, and for its solution it is necessary to use both hardware and software. The paper proposes a cloud service architecture for managing robotic vertical farms, which allows for reliable two-way data transfer between the greenhouse modules and the operator and can be used for growing crops both in vertical hydroponic installations and in single-level greenhouses of greenhouses. The business processes are described that allow you to understand and evaluate the principles of organizing monitoring and management of cultivation. On the basis of the developed architecture, software has been implemented, which has been tested in the tasks of managing the greenhouse complex and obtaining data on the microclimate. Thanks to the use of wireless networks, the absence of restrictions on the type and location of modules, duplication of functionality and data replication, such a system can be considered flexible in use and scalable.

Abstract. The modern world is in the phase of active implementation of digitalization of most processes, including cloud technologies, which is also associated with the introduction of quarantine measures in most countries. Over the past decade, the average annual growth of the cloud services market has expanded by about 50% to more than $ 220 billion. This figure is projected to exceed $ 500 billion in the near future. Currently, a large number of cloud service companies are concentrated in the market. All companies can be classified into national, operating within one country, and international, operating in many countries simultaneously. In Ukraine, the leader is the high-tech company De Novo, which provides services in the segment of corporate clients based on VMware, EMC, Microsoft Azure solutions. Competitors are well-known foreign IT giants, namely: Oracle, IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, HP and others. The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine plays an important role in this area. The latter signed an agreement with Microsoft to implement the Azure Expansion Program and accelerate Ukraine's digital transformation, including the development of Azure cloud services for the sum of more than $ 500 million. The transition from physical, outdated IT technologies to new cloud services will allow companies to significantly reduce the cost of maintaining their own staff of IT professionals and engineers, reduce dependence on IT equipment suppliers and increase productivity and efficiency of the decisions made. The management of the enterprise can choose one of the offered models from the companies-providers: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS. The choice will depend on the immediate management needs and financial capabilities of the enterprise. In Ukraine, the biggest share of users of cloud services belongs to large utility companies and state enterprises, namely: Dija, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kyiv Municipal Enterprise "Informatics", Prozorro, Ukrposhta, E-Health (National Health Center of Ukraine), Naftogaz and several other organizations. Thus, the introduction of cloud services involves digital business transformations, namely: optimization of business processes, acceleration of innovation, cost reduction and so on. Key words: IT technologies, cloud technologies, cloud service providers, management, business. JEL Classification L86, M15 Formulas: 0; fig.: 1; tabl.: 2; bibl.: 21.

In this paper, will be presented actual research of the intelligent channel allocation. The intelligent channel allocation is based on combination of fuzzy logic method and game theory attributes to increase quality of link in network. The channel allocations will become an important phenomenon in different types of networks such as 5G technology, wireless networks (IEEE 802.11xx), Z-Wave, LoRa, 3G, 4G, etc. In the near future, new network technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities will need to have intelligent channel allocation to prevent interference on the channels used for data transfer. These networks along with IoT are considered as promising technology, that interconnects different types of networks into one fully functional network. The aim of this paper is to present the concept of a methods for channel allocation in wireless networks, where channels work as communication medium based on IEEE 802.11xx technology. The simulations prove, that proposed method is able to provide lower interference, improve data rates and increase quality of links.

Various industrial, scientific and commercial processes involve wireless mesh networks in the recent days. These technologies improve communication technology to a large extent which has led to an increase in utilization of these systems in various fields. In application with intense and complex data flow, improving the quality of service (QoS) has been a challenge and a focus of research leading to more advanced wireless communication systems. This paper provides a novel optimization algorithm for improving the QoS in hybrid wireless networks while preventing malware and routing attacks. The concept of QoS and hybrid wireless networks are examined at the initial stage. Further, the algorithm for optimizing the service quality in the network is proposed accordingly. The ability of data transfer is benefited by data packets in this algorithm. Load distribution is performed such that overcrowding is prevented and information routing is done efficiently though the nodes. Delay or routing is created and control messages are sent for withholding data when certain nodes are overcrowded. This reduces the delay created by overcrowding by 50% while maintaining the permittivity.

The need for information system integration is typical for many companies including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). But especially for SMEs, the costs to run a full-fledged integration platform in-house are beyond the available IT budget. This article describes the concept of Orchestration as a Service (OaaS), a specialization of the Platform as a Service (PaaS) paradigm in the Cloud (computing) world. The goal of this paradigm is to provide a workflow-based integration platform as a (Cloud) service focusing on so-called service orchestrations. We present the BIS-Grid Engine as a core middleware for an OaaS infrastructure including a discussion about how our solution addresses security requirements that are a key issue in Cloud technologies.

Recent computing world has seen rapid growth of the number of middle and large scale enterprises that deploy business processes sharing variety of services available over cloud environment. Due to the advantage of reduced cost and increased availability, the cloud technology has been gaining unbound popularity. However, because of existence of multiple cloud service providers on one hand and varying user requirements on the other hand, the task of appropriate service composition becomes challenging. The conception of this chapter is to consider the fact that different quality parameters related to various services might bear varied importance for different user. This chapter introduces a framework for QoS-based Cloud service selection to satisfy the end user needs. A hybrid algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA) and Tabu Search methods has been developed, and its efficacy is analysed. Finally, this chapter includes the experimental analysis to present the performance of the algorithm.
