Cloud computing is an emerging computing model which has evolved as a result of the maturity of underlying prerequisite technologies. There are differences in perspective as to when a set of underlying technologies becomes a “cloud” model. In order to categorize cloud computing services, and to expect some level of consistent characteristics to be associated with the services, cloud adopters need a consistent frame of reference. The Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (CCRA) defines a standard reference architecture and consistent frame of reference for comparing cloud services from different service providers when selecting and deploying cloud services to support their mission requirements. Cloud computing offers information retrieval systems, particularly digital libraries and search engines, a wide variety of options for growth and reduction of maintenance needs and encourages efficient resource use. These features are particularly attractive for digital libraries, repositories, and search engines. The dynamic and elastic provisioning features of a cloud infrastructure allow rapid growth in collection size and support a larger user base, while reducing management issues. Hence, the objective of this chapter is to investigate and design reference architecture to Digital Library Systems using cloud computing with scalability in mind. The proposed reference architecture is called as CORADLS. This architecture accelerates the rate at which library users can get easy, efficient, faster and reliable services in the digital environment. Here, the end user does not have to worry about the resource or disk space in cloud computing.

The cloud-based computing paradigm helps organizations grow exponentially through means of employing an efficient resource management under the budgetary constraints. As an emerging field, cloud computing has a concept of amalgamation of database techniques, programming, network, and internet. The revolutionary advantages over conventional data computing, storage, and retrieval infrastructures result in an increase in the number of organizational services. Cloud services are feasible in all aspects such as cost, operation, infrastructure (software and hardware) and processing. The efficient resource management with cloud computing has great importance of higher scalability, significant energy saving, and cost reduction. Trustworthiness of the provider significantly influences the possible cloud user in his selection of cloud services. This chapter proposes a cloud service selection model (CSSM) for analyzing any cloud service in detail with multidimensional perspectives.

Cloud computing is a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without any upfront investments. Despite the growth achieved from the cloud computing, security is still questionable which impacts the cloud model adoption. Aside of having network and application securities being adopted, there must be a security that authenticate the user when accessing the cloud services that is bound to the rules between the cloud computing provider and the client side. The existing system provides authentication based on keys Encryption algorithms either symmetric key-based or asymmetric are key-based. Both encryption approaches have a major problem related to encryption key management i.e. how to securely generate, store, access and exchange secrete keys. In this paper, an optimized infrastructure for secure authentication and authorization in Cloud Environment using SSO (Single Sign-On) is proposed. SSO is a process of authenticating once and gain access of multiple resources that aims at reducing number of login and password in heterogeneous environment and to gain balance in Security, Efficiency and Usability. Also an authentication model for cloud computing based on the Kerberos protocol to provide single sign-on and to prevent against DDOS attacks is also presented in this paper.

Developing and maintaining Digital Libraries requires substantial investments that are not simply a matter of technological decisions but also organizational issues. While digital libraries hold plenty of promise both now and for the future, they have been slow in taking off. Some digital libraries have either been completely abandoned or they have been put on hold indefinitely. One of the reasons for this predicament is that developers of digital libraries have approached their implementation the same traditional way of building applications, which is also akin to how structures of physical information organizations are built. Digital Libraries with their universal functionality may be even more flexible and reusable, if designed in a service-oriented manner. Such design should allow decreasing the effort of the creation of new digital libraries and the maintenance and scaling of currently existing large installations. Service-oriented architecture offers a better approach to building digital libraries, including streamlining business components, employing reusable services and connecting existing applications to communicate efficiently. The SOA is still a fairly new concept in DL systems. This chapter investigates the applicability of SOA as a fundamental architecture within the system. Its objective is to design a Service-Oriented Architecture for Digital Library System (DLS) using Web Service technology. SORADLS includes different layers which provide primitive services to the library applications built on top of the DLS. DLS techniques of personalization, alert, and caching build SORADLS as services. This architecture provides a fast, safe, convenient, and efficient service to users connected through the Internet.

Cloud computing is an on-demand computing model, which uses virtualization technology to provide cloud resources to users in the form of virtual machines through internet. Being an adaptable technology, cloud computing is an excellent alternative for organizations for forming their own private cloud. Since the resources are limited in these private clouds maximizing the utilization of resources and giving the guaranteed service for the user are the ultimate goal. For that, efficient scheduling is needed. This research reports on an efficient data structure for resource management and resource scheduling technique in a private cloud environment and discusses a cloud model. The proposed scheduling algorithm considers the types of jobs and the resource availability in its scheduling decision. Finally, we conducted simulations using CloudSim and compared our algorithm with other existing methods, like V-MCT and priority scheduling algorithms.

Cloud computing provides various services over the internet and its increasing day by day.Given the growing demands of cloud services, it requires a lot of computing resources to meet customer needs. So, the addition of energy consumption through cloud computing resources will increase day by day and become a key obstacle in the cloud environment.In cloud computing,data centers consume more energy and additionally release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. To reduce energy consumption through the cloud datacenter, energy-efficient resource management is required. In this paper a specific technique for performing virtual machines through datacenter is given. Our goal is to reduce power consumption on the datacenter by reducing the host running in the cloud datacenter. To reduce power consumption, schedule the incoming task such a way that all the resources like ram,cpu(mips) and bandwidth utilize in equal weightage.Then after if any host is over utilized then migrate one or more vm from that host to another host as well as if any host is underutilize then migrate running vm of that host and switch off the under loaded host to save energy.
