This book chapter describes the different aspects related to designing a suitable monitoring architecture for Cloud Computing, aiming to support cross-layer monitoring across all layers available in the Cloud stack. For this purpose, the importance of monitoring services in Cloud scenarios is outlined, followed by a comprehensible analysis of a wide set of distributed monitoring solutions. After that, the particular requirements related to cross-layer monitoring for Cloud Computing architectures are identified and explained. Then, diverse aspects which may fit a monitoring architecture for fulfilling such requirements are explained. Finally, some future research directions and conclusions are highlighted.

This chapter seeks to present the dependence of throughput on signal to noise ratio (SNR) in IEEE802.11 WLAN systems. High throughput and low delays are presented as the requirements for indicating good performance of WLAN systems. The multiple communication data rates specified by the physical layer of IEEE802.11 WLANs which vary depending on the SNR observed is shown to appreciably influence the throughput experienced by the users. Cross-layer modelling principles which simplifies the process of estimating the dependence of throughput on SNR is presented. Recent research findings which apply cross-layer modelling principles to model the dependence of throughput on SNR only is presented along with future research directions.

E-procurement systems that have been in place for over a decade have begun incorporating digital tools like big data, cloud computing, internet of things, and data mining. Hence, there exists a rich literature on earlier e-procurement systems and advanced digitally-enabled e-procurement systems. Existing literature on these systems addresses many research issues (e.g., adoption) associated with e-procurement. However, one critical issue that has so far received no rigorous attention is about “unit of analysis,” a methodological concern of importance, for e-procurement research context. Hence, the aim of this chapter is twofold: 1) to discuss how the notion of “unit of analysis” has been conceptualised in the e-procurement literature and 2) to discuss how its use has been justified by e-procurement scholars to address the research issues under investigation. Finally, the chapter provides several interesting findings and outlines future research directions.

Cloud computing has significantly enhanced the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) by ensuring and supporting the Quality of Service (QoS) of IoT applications. However, cloud services are still far from IoT devices. Notably, the transmission of IoT data experiences network issues, such as high latency. In this case, the cloud platforms cannot satisfy the IoT applications that require real-time response. Yet, the location of cloud services is one of the challenges encountered in the evolution of the IoT paradigm. Recently, edge cloud computing has been proposed to bring cloud services closer to the IoT end-users, becoming a promising paradigm whose pitfalls and challenges are not yet well understood. This paper aims at presenting the leading-edge computing concerning the movement of services from centralized cloud platforms to decentralized platforms, and examines the issues and challenges introduced by these highly distributed environments, to support engineers and researchers who might benefit from this transition.

In cloud computing, data placement is a critical operation performed as part of workflow management and aims to find the best physical machine to place the data. It has direct impact on performance, cost and execution time of workflows. Number of data placement algorithms is designed in cloud computing environment that aimed to improve various factors affecting the workflows and their execution including the movement of data among data centers. This paper provides a complete survey and analyses of existing data placement schemes proposed in literature for cloud computing. Further, it classifies data placement schemes based on their assess capabilities and objectives. Further objectives and properties of data placement schemes are compared. Finally future research directions are provided with concluding remarks.


Recent years have shown the explosive emergence of Cloud computing in the industry and it is now the need of the hour. It is a great idea to go to utilize 5G remote advancement and man-made thinking to engage speedier response times, lower latency, improved upkeep in figuring. The cloud has at no other time been so essential to the undertaking beforehand. This is where Edge Computing came into picture — seen as an expansion to the cloud, yet interesting in a couple of crucial ways. Empowering data to be taken care of, explored and moved at the edge of the framework, edge enlisting will enable undertakings to gather and assessments data closer to where it is taken care of, consistently, without idleness. Thus it can take into consideration snappy substance conveyance and information preparing that ought to be the eventual fate of registering. In this paper we will extensively study the necessity of Edge Cloud simulation environment and simulate it through EdgeCloudSim. We find that the utilization based, fuzzy competitor based and hybrid based methodologies incline toward offloading the assignments to the edge, so they give better outcomes whereas the average service time of the Fuzzy-Based methodology is least in contrast with the others
