An Efficient and Trustworthy Resource Sharing Platform for Collaborative Cloud Computing

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to provide information about available resources and reputations to provide services to the customers in Collaborative Cloud Computing (CCC). In this project, we address the problem of a single cloud which may not be able to provide sufficient resources effectively using a single QoS during a peak time for an application. A Collaborative Cloud Computing (CCC) called Harmony is being developed which effectively combines resource management and reputation management in a harmonious manner. Harmony platform incorporates three key components. The components are integrated multi-faceted resource/reputation management, Multi-QoS-oriented resource selection and Price-assisted resource/reputation control. Compared to the existing system, the proposed system enables a client to perform resource selection that offers the highest QoS with different priorities using Harmony platform. Moreover Harmony enables a node to locate its desired resources and also find the reputation of the located resources. The existing system fail to exploit node reputation by always selecting the highest-reputed nodes in resource selection to fairly utilize resources in the system to meet different users QoS demands. The proposed system exploits node reputation by always selecting the highest-reputed nodes and priority consideration of multiple QoS in resource selection to utilize resources.
