Abstract:
Computing is being transformed
to a model consisting of services that are commoditised and delivered in a
manner similar to utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and
telephony. In such a model, users access services based on their
requirements without regard to where the services are hosted. Several
computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing vision
and they include Grid computing, P2P computing, and more recently Cloud
computing. The latter term denotes the infrastructure as a “Cloud” in
which businesses and users are able to access applications from anywhere
in the world on demand. Cloud computing delivers infrastructure, platform,
and software (application) as services, which are made available as
subscription-based services in a pay-as-you-go model to consumers. These
services in industry are respectively referred to as Infrastructure as a
Service (Iaas), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
To realize Cloud computing potential, vendors such as Amazon, Google,
Microsoft, and IBM are starting to create and deploy Clouds in various
locations around the world. In addition, companies with global operations
require faster response time, and thus save time by distributing workload
requests to multiple Clouds in various locations at the same time. This
creates the need for establishing a computing atmosphere for dynamically
interconnecting and provisioning Clouds from multiple domains within and
across enterprises. There are many challenges involved in creating such
Clouds and Cloud interconnections.
This seminar (1) presents the 21st
century vision of computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising
to deliver the vision of computing utilities; (2) defines the architecture
for creating market-oriented Clouds and computing atmosphere by leveraging
technologies such as VMs; (3) provides thoughts on market-based resource
management strategies that encompass both customer-driven service
management and computational risk management to sustain SLA-oriented
resource allocation; (4) presents the work carried out as part of our new
Cloud Computing initiative, called Cloudbus: (i) Aneka, a software system
for providing PaaS within private or public Clouds and supporting
market-oriented resource management, (ii) internetworking of Clouds for
dynamic creation of federated computing environments for scaling of
elastic applications, (iii) creation of 3rd party Cloud brokering services
for content delivery network and e-Science applications and their
deployment on capabilities of IaaS providers such as Amazon and Nirvanix
along with Grid mashups, and (iv) CloudSim supporting modelling and
simulation of Clouds for performance studies; and (5) concludes with the
need for convergence of competing IT paradigms for delivering our 21st
century vision along with pathways for future research.
Biography:
Dr. Rajkumar Buyya is Professor of Computer Science and Software
Engineering; and Director of the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems
(CLOUDS) Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He is also
serving as the founding CEO of Manjrasoft Pty Ltd., a spin-off company of
the University, commercialising its innovations in Grid and Cloud
Computing. He has authored and published over 300 research papers and four
text books. The books on emerging topics that Dr. Buyya edited include,
High Performance Cluster Computing (Prentice Hall, USA, 1999),
Market-Oriented Grid and Utility Computing (Wiley, USA, 2009), and Cloud
Computing: Principles and Paradigms (Wiley, USA, 2010). He is one of the
highly cited authors in computer science and software engineering
worldwide (h-index=49, g-index=106, 13000+ citations).
Software technologies for Grid and Cloud computing developed under Dr.
Buyya's leadership have gained rapid acceptance and are in use at several
academic institutions and commercial enterprises in 40 countries around
the world. Dr. Buyya has led the establishment and development of key
community activities, including serving as foundation Chair of the IEEE
Technical Committee on Scalable Computing and four IEEE conferences (CCGrid,
Cluster, Grid, and e-Science). He has presented over 250 invited talks on
his vision on IT Futures and advanced computing technologies at
international conferences and institutions in Asia, Australia, Europe,
North America, and South America. These contributions and international
research leadership of Dr. Buyya are recognized through the award of "2009
IEEE Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing" from the IEEE Computer
Society, USA. Manjrasoft’s Aneka technology for Cloud Computing developed
under his leadership has received “2010 Asia Pacific Frost & Sullivan New
Product Innovation Award”. For further information on Dr. Buyya, please
