Data loss occurs due to crashing, correlated failure, logical failure, power outages and security threats. Several techniques (e.g. NoBackup, WARBackup and LocalRecovery) are being used to recover data locally. And, strongly consistent Cloud services (SCCS) must provide good performance and high availability. However, conventional strong consistency replication methods have the limitation of availability of replicated services when recovering huge amount of data across wide area links. There is a need for remote recovery mechanisms for high availability of service/data, because distributed nature of cloud infrastructures. To address these issues, the article proposes a hierarchical system architecture for replication across a data center, and employs the backward atomic backup recovery technique (BABRT) for local recovery and remote recovery for high availability of the cloud services/data. A mathematical model for BABRT is described. Simulation results show that BABRT reduces the storage consumption, recovery time, window of vulnerability and failure rates, compared to other recovery models.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze cloud reviews according to the end-user context and requirements.Design/methodology/approachpropose a comprehensive knowledge base composed of interconnected Web Ontology Language, namely, modular ontology for cloud service opinion analysis (SOPA). The SOPA knowledge base will be the basis of context-aware cloud service analysis using consumers' reviews. Moreover, the authors provide a framework to evaluate cloud services based on consumers' reviews opinions.FindingsThe findings show that there is a positive impact of personalizing the cloud service analysis by considering the reviewers' contexts in the performance of the framework. The authors also proved that the SOPA-based framework outperforms the available cloud review sites in term of precision, recall and F-measure.Research limitations/implicationsLimited information has been provided in the semantic web literature about the relationships between the different domains and the details on how that can be used to evaluate cloud service through consumer reviews and latent opinions. Furthermore, existing approaches are lacking lightweight and modular mechanisms which can be utilized to effectively exploit information existing in social media.Practical implicationsThe SOPA-based framework facilitates the opinion based service evaluation through a large number of consumer's reviews and assists the end-users in analyzing services as per their requirements and their own context.Originality/valueThe SOPA ontology is capable of representing the content of a product/service as well as its related opinions, which are extracted from the customer's reviews written in a specific context. Furthermore, the SOPA-based framework facilitates the opinion based service evaluation through a large number of consumer's reviews and assists the end-users in analyzing services as per their requirements and their own context.

Nowadays, many business organizations are operating on the cloud environment in order to diminish their operating costs and to select the best service from many cloud providers. The increasing number of Cloud Services available on the market encourages the cloud consumer to be conscious in selecting the most apt Cloud Service Provider that satisfies functionality, as well as QoS parameters. Many disciplines of computer-based applications use standardized ontology to represent information in their fields that indicate the necessity of an ontology-based representation. The proposed generic model can help service consumers to identify QoS parameters interrelations in the cloud services selection ontology during run-time, and for service providers to enhance their business by interpreting the various relations. The ontology has been developed using the intended attributes of QoS from various service providers. A generic model has been developed and it is tested with the developed ontology.

In addition to the rapid development of global information and communications technology (ICT) and the Internet, recent rapid growth in cloud computing technology represents another important trend. Individual continuance intention towards information technology is a critical area in which information systems research can be performed. This study aims to develop an integrated model designed to explain and predict an individual’s continuance intention towards personal cloud services based on the concepts of technology readiness (TR) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2), moderated by gender, age, and experience of personal cloud services. The key results of the partial least square test largely support the proposed model’s validity and the significant impact of effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, price value, habit, and technology readiness on continuance intention towards personal cloud services. In addition to providing symmetric theoretical support with the proposed model and transforming the individual characteristics of TR into UTAUT2, this study could be used to enhance and analyze users’ adoption of personal cloud services and also increase the symmetry of the model’s explanation and prediction. The findings from this research contribute to providing practical implications and academic resources as well as improving our understanding of personal cloud service applications.

Abstract Cloud computing has become one of the major computing paradigms. Not only the number of offered cloud services has grown exponentially but also many different providers compete and propose very similar services. This situation should eventually be beneficial for the customers, but considering that these services slightly differ functionally and non-functionally -wise (e.g., performance, reliability, security), consumers may be confused and unable to make an optimal choice. The emergence of cloud service brokers addresses these issues. A broker gathers information about services from providers and about the needs and requirements of the customers, with the final goal of finding the best match. In this paper, we formalize and study a novel problem that arises in the area of cloud brokering. In its simplest form, brokering is a trivial assignment problem, but in more complex and realistic cases this does not longer hold. The novelty of the presented problem lies in considering services which can be sold in bundles. Bundling is a common business practice, in which a set of services is sold together for the lower price than the sum of services’ prices that are included in it. This work introduces a multi-criteria optimization problem which could help customers to determine the best IT solutions according to several criteria. The Cloud Brokering with Bundles (CBB) models the different IT packages (or bundles) found on the market while minimizing (maximizing) different criteria. A proof of complexity is given for the single-objective case and experiments have been conducted with a special case of two criteria: the first one being the cost and the second is artificially generated. We also designed and developed a benchmark generator, which is based on real data gathered from 19 cloud providers. The problem is solved using an exact optimizer relying on a dichotomic search method. The results show that the dichotomic search can be successfully applied for small instances corresponding to typical cloud-brokering use cases and returns results in terms of seconds. For larger problem instances, solving times are not prohibitive, and solutions could be obtained for large, corporate clients in terms of minutes.
