Melanie Holloway explores a cloud broker offering service level agreement negotiation and monitoring as a service to consumers. She proposes a negotiation mechanism, which enables the achievement of economically efficient agreements, and an approach for reliable consumer side availability monitoring in conjunction with strategies for robust monitor placement. The author addresses the loss of control of consumers over critical aspects, specifically quality of service, when using services from the cloud.Basically, the cloud computing paradigm places the responsibility for resource management on the provider side. Hence, the control over cloud service performance is very limited on the consumer side.
Nontraditional Database Systems is the fifth volume in the Advanced Information Processing Technology series. It brings together the results of research carried out by the Japanese database research community in the field of nontraditional database systems. The book examines nontraditional types of applications, data types, systems and environments together with high-performance architecture to support nontraditional applications, such as web mining, data engineering and object processing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2007, held in Bangkok, Thailand, April 2007. Coverage includes query language and query optimization, data mining and knowledge discovery, P2P and grid-based data management, XML databases, database modeling and information retrieval, Web and information retrieval, database applications and security.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Cloud Computing, CLOUD 2019, held as part of the Services Conference Federation, SCF 2019, in San Diego, CA, USA, in June 2019. The 24 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. CLOUD has been a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of cloud computing, to identify emerging research topics, and to define the future of cloud computing. All topics regarding cloud computing align with the theme of CLOUD.

Annotation This collection of 60 papers presented at the November 1999 symposium provides research results on non-traditional databases such as Internet-related technologies, handling of various kinds of data, supporting technologies for virtual organization, data models, system technologies, and applications. Topics include temporal issues in data warehouse systems, a semantic caching method based on linear constraints, multimedia document support inside the AHYDS platform, interacting with topological invariants of spatial databases, spatio- temporal levels of detail (LoD) for browsing video databases, and similarity retrieval of human motion as multi-stream time series data.
