Currently, the data to be explored and exploited by computing systems increases at an
exponential rate. The massive amount of data or so-called “Big Data” put pressure on …

In scientific cloud workflows, large amounts of application data need to be stored in
distributed data centres. To effectively store these data, a data manager must intelligently …

Cloud computing is an emerging technology and it allows users to pay as you need and has
the high performance. Cloud computing is a heterogeneous system as well and it holds …

As data-intensive, network-based applications proliferate, the power consumed by the data-
center storage subsystem surges. This survey summarizes, organizes, and integrates a …

Effective data management is an important issue for a large-scale distributed environment
such as data cloud. This can be achieved by using file replication, which efficiently reduces …

Task scheduling in cloud computing environments is a multi-objective optimization problem,
which is NP hard. It is also a challenging problem to find an appropriate trade-off among …

Cloud computing is becoming a very popular word in industry and is receiving a large
amount of attention from the research community. Replica management is one of the most …

Video surveillance requires storing massive amounts of video data, which results in the
rapid increasing of storage energy consumption. With the popularization of video …

In this paper we present a hardware-assisted rendering technique coupled with a
compression scheme for the interactive visual exploration of time-varying scalar volume …

Continuous data scale growth increases energy consumption and operating cost that cannot
be ignored in cloud storage systems. Previous studies have shown that analyzing the …
