The importance of cloud computing standards is the same as the World Wide Web standardization. There are plenty of prevalent standards around cloud computing that make different aspects of cloud computing possible. Standardization is a key answer and solution to the main question in this book (i.e., whether cloud computing will survive and remain on IT trends track or not). Standardization will bring interoperability, integration, and portability to the cloud computing landscape. With these three features, the main elements of IT (i.e., computation and data) can move from one cloud provider to another. Therefore, it eliminates vendor lock-in that is one of the barriers in cloud adoption. In addition, cloud interoperability will minimize cloud fragmentation. We need interoperability and portability to achieve cloud federation and to build hybrid cloud. In addition, there is still no de facto standard for moving workloads or data among different clouds. Cloud standardization needs to be addressed at various layers of a cloud infrastructure such as: virtual machine format, data, interface, context, and identity layers. This chapter reviews the emerging standards from the perspective of various organizations and standard bodies.

Cloud computing is set of resources and services offered through the internet. Cloud services are delivered from data centers located throughout the world. Enterprises are rapidly adopting cloud services for their businesses, measures need to be developed so that organizations can be assured of security in their businesses and can choose a suitable vendor for their computing needs. In this chapter we identify the most vulnerable security threats/attacks in cloud computing, which will enable both end users and vendors to know about the key security threats associated with cloud computing and propose relevant solution directives to strengthen security in the cloud environment. This chapter also discusses secure cloud architecture for organizations to strengthen the security.

Cloud computing suggests that the applications conveyed as services over the internet and frameworks programming in the server that give various services and offers in “pay as you go” trend which means pay only for what you use. The information and services are managed as software as a service (SaaS). Some sellers utilize terms, for example, IaaS (infrastructure as a service) and PaaS (platform as a service). The purpose of cloud computing is quickly expanding in everyday life. Today the use of cloud computing is widespread to the point that it is being utilized even in the medicinal services industry. As the development of cloud computing in healthcare is happening at a fast rate, we can expect a noteworthy piece of the healthcare administrations to move onto the Cloud and along these lines more focus is laid on giving cost-effective and efficient services to the general population all around the world. Cloud these days are turning into the new building pieces of significant organizations spread the world over. They offer assistance in servicing to offer different frameworks. Cloud computing has enhanced its technique and technologies in a better way to provide better services. Existing e-healthcare has many difficulties from advancement to usage. In this chapter, the authors discuss how cloud computing is utilized and the services provided by the Cloud and their models and its infrastructure.

The cloud is an appealing innovation that has driven, in record time, an extraordinary interest. It is right now one of the busiest regions of research in IT, due to its adaptability, vigor, and capacity to altogether lessen the expenses of administrations to clients on the web. Additionally, cloud stores all client information in server farms dispersed the world over. In this manner, security has turned into a foremost worry that anticipates numerous organizations to receive its administrations. Clients should store their information, a few of which are ordinarily secret or individual; in this way, the authors are exceptionally mindful to information honesty and classification amid exchange to a cloud server. This exploration chapter plans to build up an investigation on the different security threats engaged with distributed computing along with their recent countermeasures.


Internet offers bunch of services and resources, one of them is cloud computing. The centers which provide these services are located all around the world and this service has its own mainstream pros and cons. Cloud computing consists of taking cloud services from the internet and taking them away from the considerable firewall. This paper aims in enhancing specifications of cloud computing, review its security threats and address security concerns along with the cloud operations that needs security. Also, this paper addresses basic security models, qualities and prerequisites for cloud Computing

Information technology is increasingly developing and has a positive impact on the world of education. The implementation of student counseling with a Knowledge Management System is one of the contributions of information technology in the world of education. Many benefits provided by the Student Counseling Knowledge Management System, in managing the knowledge needed by the counselor section to document student consultations. The development and implementation of a KMS counseling system costs more to employ professional staff to maintain and improve; KMS student counseling application; For this reason, it is necessary to design a Cloud Computing-based Student Counseling Knowledge Management System. The research method carried out in the first stage is to collect data and information about Knowledge Management and Student Counseling, and how to use it to create a Knowledge Management System Application, Student Counseling Based on cloud computing. Furthermore, conducting a literature study and literature review, system design is in the form of data architecture compounding, process design, network design, and user interface design. The design results of this system can facilitate educational institutions in conducting online cloud computing-based student counseling

Today the volume of healthcare data generated increased rapidly because of the number of patients in each hospital increasing.  These data are most important for decision making and delivering the best care for patients. Healthcare providers are now faced with collecting, managing, storing and securing huge amounts of sensitive protected health information. As a result, an increasing number of healthcare organizations are turning to cloud based services. Cloud computing offers a viable, secure alternative to premise based healthcare solutions. The infrastructure of Cloud is characterized by a high volume storage and a high throughput. The privacy and security are the two most important concerns in cloud-based healthcare services. Healthcare organization should have electronic medical records in order to use the cloud infrastructure. This paper surveys the challenges of cloud in healthcare and benefits of cloud techniques in health care industries.

A lot of research has been done in the field of cloud computing in computing domain.  For its effective performance, variety of algorithms has been proposed. The role of virtualization is significant and its performance is dependent on VM Migration and allocation. More of the energy is absorbed in cloud; therefore, the utilization of numerous algorithms is required for saving energy and efficiency enhancement in the proposed work. In the proposed work, green algorithm has been considered with meta heuristic algorithms, ABC (Artificial Bee colony .Every server has to perform different or same functions. A cloud computing infrastructure can be modelled as Primary Machineas a set of physical Servers/host PM1, PM2, PM3… PMn. The resources of cloud infrastructure can be used by the virtualization technology, which allows one to create several VMs on a physical server or host and therefore, lessens the hardware amount and enhances the resource utilization. The computing resource/node in cloud is used through the virtual machine. To address this problem, data centre resources have to be managed in resource -effective manner for driving Green Cloud computing that has been proposed in this work using Virtual machine concept with ABC and Neural Network optimization algorithm. The simulations have been carried out in CLOUDSIM environment and the parameters like SLA violations, Energy consumption and VM migrations along with their comparison with existing techniques will be performed.
