Item A novel family genetic approach for virtual machine allocation(Elsevier B.V., 2015) Joseph, C.T.; Chandrasekaran, K.; Cyriac, R.The concept of virtualization forms the heart of systems like the Cloud and Grid. Efficiency of systems that employ virtualization greatly depends on the efficiency of the technique used to allocate the virtual machines to suitable hosts. The literature contains many evolutionary approaches to solve the virtual machine allocation problem, a broad category of which employ Genetic Algorithm. This paper proposes a novel technique to allocate virtual machines using the Family Gene approach. Experimental analysis proves that the proposed approach reduces energy consumption and the rate of migrations, and hence offers much scope for future research. © 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.Item Elucidating the challenges for the praxis of fog computing: An aspect-based study(John Wiley and Sons Ltd vgorayska@wiley.com Southern Gate Chichester, West Sussex PO19 8SQ, 2019) Martin, J.P.; Kandasamy, A.; Chandrasekaran, K.; Joseph, C.T.The evolutionary advancements in the field of technology have led to the instigation of cloud computing. The Internet of Things paradigm stimulated the extensive use of sensors distributed across the network edges. The cloud datacenters are assigned the responsibility for processing the collected sensor data. Recently, fog computing was conceptuated as a solution for the overwhelmed narrow bandwidth. The fog acts as a complementary layer that interplays with the cloud and edge computing layers, for processing the data streams. The fog paradigm, as any distributed paradigm, has its set of inherent challenges. The fog environment necessitates the development of management platforms that effectuates the orchestration of fog entities. Owing to the plenitude of research efforts directed toward these issues in a relatively young field, there is a need to organize the different research works. In this study, we provide a compendious review of the research approaches in the domain, with special emphasis on the approaches for orchestration and propose a multilevel taxonomy to classify the existing research. The study also highlights the application realms of fog computing and delineates the open research challenges in the domain. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Item Straddling the crevasse: A review of microservice software architecture foundations and recent advancements(John Wiley and Sons Ltd vgorayska@wiley.com Southern Gate Chichester, West Sussex PO19 8SQ, 2019) Joseph, C.T.; Chandrasekaran, K.Microservice architecture style has been gaining wide impetus in the software engineering industry. Researchers and practitioners have adopted the microservices concepts into several application domains such as the internet of things, cloud computing, service computing, and healthcare. Applications developed in alignment with the microservices principles require an underlying platform with management capabilities to coordinate the different microservice units and ensure that the application functionalities are delivered to the user. A multitude of approaches has been proposed for the various tasks in microservices-based systems. However, since the field is relatively young, there is a need to organize the different research works. In this study, we present a comprehensive review of the research approaches directed toward microservice architectures and propose a multilevel taxonomy to categorize the existing research. The study also discusses the different distributed computing paradigms employing microservices and identifies the open research challenges in the domain. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
