The Cloud services are becoming an essential part of many organizations. Cloud providers have to adhere to security and privacy policies to ensure their users' data remains confidential and secure. Though there are some ongoing efforts on developing cloud security standards, most cloud providers are implementing a mish-mash of security and privacy controls. This has led to confusion among cloud consumers as to what security measures they should expect from the cloud services, and whether these

In cloud computing environment, pricing is an effective method for resource allocation and it provides efficient incentive for cloud providers to provide cloud services. In this paper, we investigate two pricing schemes for the allocation of cloud resources in a monopoly cloud market subject to constrained capacity of the cloud provider. There are two main pricing schemes, on-demand and reserved pricing mechanisms adopted by leading cloud providers, i.e., Amazon and Gogrid. We analyze how cloud

Cloud computing has received a significant amount of attentions from both engineering and academic fields. Designing optimal pricing schemes of cloud services plays an important role for the success of cloud computing. How to set optimal prices of cloud resources in order to maximize these CSPs’ revenues in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud market while at the same time meeting the cloud users’ demand satisfaction is a challenging problem that CSPs should consider. However

Pricing plays an important role for service provision in cloud computing. In this paper, we investigate price based resource access control in two Monopoly IaaS cloud market, respectively. The two IaaS cloud market is formed by one public cloud service providers (CSPs) and cloud broker (CB), provisioning cloud services to delay-sensitive cloud users (CUs). In the first monopoly cloud market, we treat the public CSP as an M/M/1 queueing system and study this CSP’s pricing effect on the
