Colloquium: New Innovations in Cloud Computing for Big Data Applications, Prof. Rajkumar Buyya (University of Melbourne, Australia), Friday, December 4, 2015, 15:00-16:00 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
New Innovations in Cloud Computing for Big Data Applications
 |
Speaker: Prof. Rajkumar Buyya |
Abstract:
Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that
are commoditised and delivered in a manner similar to utilities such as
water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access
services based on their requirements without regard to where the
services are hosted. Several computing paradigms have promised to
deliver this utility computing vision. Cloud computing has emerged as
one of the buzzwords in the IT industry and turned the vision of
"computing utilities" into a reality. Several IT vendors have started
offering computation, storage, and application hosting services, and
provide coverage in several continents, supporting Service-Level
Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their
services. Clouds deliver infrastructure, platform, and software
(application) as services, which are made available as
subscription-based services in a pay-as-you-go model to consumers. The
price that Cloud Service Providers charge can vary with time and the
quality of service (QoS) expectations of consumers. Therefore,
Enterprise and Big Data applications need tools and platforms for
their rapid construction and deployment on Clouds on-demand meeting
user QoS requirements at lower price.
This talk will cover (a) 21st century vision of
computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising to deliver the
vision of computing utilities; (b) opportunities and challenges for
utility and market-oriented Cloud computing, (c) innovative architecture
for creating market-oriented and elastic Clouds by harnessing
virtualisation technologies; (d) Aneka, a Cloud Application
Platform, and Cloudbus Workflow Engine for rapid development of
Cloud/Big Data applications and their deployment on private/public
Clouds with resource
provisioning driven by SLAs; (e) experimental results on deploying Cloud
and Big Data applications in engineering, and health care, and
astronomy/ satellite image processing, business intelligence on
elastic Clouds, and (f) directions for delivering our 21st century
vision along with pathways for future research.
Short Bio:
Dr. Rajkumar Buyya is a Fellow of IEEE, Professor of Computer
Science and Software Engineering, Future Fellow of the Australian
Research Council, and Director of the Cloud Computing and
Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory at the University of
Melbourne, Australia. He is also serving as the founding CEO of
Manjrasoft, a spin-off company of the University, commercializing
its innovations in Cloud Computing. He has authored over 500
publications and four text books including "Mastering Cloud
Computing" published by McGraw Hill, China Machine Press, and
Elsevier/Morgan Kaufmann for Indian, Chinese and international
markets respectively. He is one of the highly cited
authors in computer science and software engineering worldwide
(h-index=94, g-index=198, 42500+ citations). Microsoft Academic Search
Index ranked Dr. Buyya as the world's top author in distributed and
parallel computing between 2007 and 2012. "A Scientometric Analysis of
Cloud Computing Literature" by German scientists ranked Dr. Buyya as the
World's Top-Cited (#1) Author and the World's Most-Productive (#1)
Author in Cloud Computing.
Software technologies for Grid and Cloud computing developed under Dr.
Buyya's leadership have gained rapid acceptance and are in use at
several academic institutions and commercial enterprises in 40
countries around the world. Dr. Buyya has led the establishment and
development of key community activities, including serving as
foundation Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable
Computing and five IEEE/ACM conferences. These contributions and
international research leadership of Dr. Buyya are recognized
through the award of "2009 IEEE TCSC Medal for Excellence in
Scalable Computing" from the IEEE Computer Society TCSC.
Manjrasoft's Aneka Cloud technology developed under his leadership
has received "2010 Frost & Sullivan New Product Innovation Award"
and recently Manjrasoft has been recognised as one of the Top 20
Cloud Computing companies by the Silicon Review Magazine. He served
as the foundation Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Cloud
Computing. He is currently serving as
Co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Software: Practice and Experience,
which was established 40+ years ago. For further information on
