Formal Approach to Workow Application Fragmentations Over Cloud Deployment Models

Workow management technologies have been dramatically improving their deployment architectures and systems along with the evolution and proliferation of cloud distributed computing environments.Especially,such cloud computing environments ought to be providing a suitable distributed computing paradigm to deploy very large-scale workow processes and applications with scalable on-demand services.In this paper,we focus on the distribution paradigm and its deployment formalism for such very large-scale workow applications being deployed and enacted across the multiple and heterogeneous cloud computing environments.We propose a formal approach to vertically as well as horizontally fragment very large-scale workow processes and their applications and to deploy the workow process and application fragments over three types of cloud deployment models and architectures.To concretize the formal approach,we rstly devise a series of operational situations fragmenting into cloud workow process and application components and deploying onto three different types of cloud deployment models and architectures.These concrete approaches are called the deployment-driven fragmentation mechanism to be applied to such very large-scale workow process and applications as an implementing component for cloud workow management systems.Finally,we strongly believe that our approach with the fragmentation formalisms becomes a theoretical basis of designing and implementing very large-scale and maximally distributed workow processes and applications to be deployed on cloud deployment models and architectural computing environments as well.

Security Analysis Model, System Architecture and Relational Model of Enterprise Cloud Services

Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing and popular computer technologies, and there are more and more enterprise services based on the cloud computing. In order to save costs, more and more enterprises and their employees have hired the enterprise cloud services, and put much important information in the cloud gradually. Cloud service systems have become the main targets of malicious attacks. However, the cloud computing technologies are still not perfect, and the management and maintenance of enterprise cloud services are more complex compared to traditional network services of cloud computing. So, enterprise cloud services are more likely to encounter some security problems, and the influenced scale of these security problems is broad. But there are few researches on the security of enterprise cloud services. In this paper, we analyze the software as a service（Saa S） enterprise cloud services and introduce the research status of security problems in cloud computing environment. Combining with the analysis of the characteristics and application architecture of Saa S enterprise cloud services, we propose the security problems analysis model, the analysis system architecture and the relational model. Our researches can support further research of the automatic generation of solutions and guide the deployment of security policies of Saa S enterprise cloud services.

Special issue on future network:software-defined networking

Computer networks have to support an everincreasing array of applications,ranging from cloud computing in datacenters to Internet access for users.In order to meet the various demands,a large number of network devices running different protocols are designed and deployed in networks.
