Title
Towards Scalable and Dependable Computing in the Cloud

Keywords
Distributed systems, Cloud computing, QoS, SLA, Scalability, Dependability

Research Description
Cloud Computing is a paradigm for enabling remote, on-demand access to a set of configurable computing resources. A Cloud may stand at different levels of the hardware and software stack where: (i) an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud enables access to hardware resources such as servers and storage devices,
(ii) a Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud allows the access to software resources such as operating systems and software development environment, and
(iii) a Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud is an alternative to classical software applications running locally on personal computers which are, instead, provided remotely by the cloud (e.g. messaging services, document editing services, etc.). Although Cloud Computing provides a means to support remote, on-demand access to computing resources, its ad-hoc management poses significant challenges to the scalability, performance, dependability and economical costs of cloud services.
