Probabilistic Modeling to Achieve Load balancing in Expert Clouds

Expert Cloud as a new class of Cloud computing systems enables its users to request the skill, knowledge and expertise of people without any information of their location by employing Internet infrastructures and Cloud computing concepts. Effective load balancing in a heterogeneous distributed environment such as Cloud is important. Since the differences in the human resource (HRs) capabilities and the variety of users' requests causes that some HRs are overloaded and some others are idle. The task allocation to the HR based on the announced requirements by the user may cause the imbalanced load distribution among HRs as well. Hence resource management and scheduling are among the important cases to achieve load balancing. Using static and dynamic algorithms, the ant colony, and the method based on searching tree all are among the methods to achieve load balancing. This paper presents a new method in order to distribute the dynamic load based on distributed queues aware of service quality in the Cloud environment. In this method, we utilize the colorful ants as a ranking for making distinction among the HRs capabilities. In this paper, we perform the mapping among the tasks and HRs using allocating a label to each HR. We model the load balancing and mapping process based on Poisson and exponential distribution. This model allows us to allocate each task to the HR which is able to execute it with maximum power using the distributed queues aware of the service quality. Simulation results show that the expert Cloud can reduce the execution and tardiness time and improve HR utilization. The cost of using resources as an effective factor in load balancing is also observed.

A Secure Cloud Computing Based Framework for Big Data Information Management of Smart Grid

Smart grid is a technological innovation that improves efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of electricity services. It plays a crucial role in modern energy infrastructure. The main challenges of smart grids, however, are how to manage different types of front-end intelligent devices such as power assets and smart meters efficiently; and how to process a huge amount of data received from these devices. Cloud computing, a technology that provides computational resources on demands, is a good candidate to address these challenges since it has several good properties such as energy saving, cost saving, agility, scalability, and flexibility. In this paper, we propose a secure cloud computing based framework for big data information management in smart grids, which we call “Smart-Frame.” The main idea of our framework is to build a hierarchical structure of cloud computing centers to provide different types of computing services for information management and big data analysis. In addition to this structural framework, we present a security solution based on identity-based encryption, signature and proxy re-encryption to address critical security issues of the proposed framework.
