A probabilistic multi-tenant model for virtual machine mapping in cloud systems
Wang, Zhuoyao; Hayat M.M.; Ghani N.; Shaban K.B. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)A novel probabilistic multi-tenant model is developed to characterize the service performance of cloud systems. The model considers essential cloud-system characteristics including virtualization, multi-tenancy and ... -
Flexible advance reservation models for virtual network scheduling
Bai, H.; Gu, F.; Shaban, K.; Crichigno, J.; Khan, S.; Ghani, N.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE Computer Society , 2015 , Conference Paper)Advance reservation services allows users to pre-reserve network resources at future instants in time. These offerings are already being used by a wide range of applications in scientific/grid computing, datacenter backup, ... -
Overlay network scheduling design
Bai, H.; Shaban, K.; Khodeir, M.; Gu, F.; Crichigno, J.; Khan, S.; Ghani, N.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)Advance reservation services are being used by a range of applications to schedule connection bandwidth resources at future time intervals. To date many different algorithms have been developed to support various point-to-point ... -
Passive inference of attacks on CPS communication protocols
Bou-HarbE.; GhaniN.; ErradiA.; ShabanK. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)The security of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has been recently receiving significant attention from the research community. While the majority of such attention originates from the control theory domain, few approaches ... -
Post-failure repair for cloud-based infrastructure services after disasters
Pourvali, M.; Cavdar, C.; Shaban, K.; Crichigno, J.; Ghani, N. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)Cloud infrastructure services allow organizations to outsource their computing, storage, and networking needs to external providers. These offerings use network virtualization to provision customized, interconnected resource ... -
Progressive recovery of virtual infrastructure services in optical cloud networks after large disasters
Pourvali, M.; Gu, F.; Liang, K.; Shaban, K.; Ghani, N. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)This paper studies progressive recovery in optical cloud substrates supporting virtualized infrastructure services. Several resource placement/scheduling schemes are presented to improve post-fault recovery and also evaluated ... -
Virtual network advance reservation
Bai, H.; Gu, F.; Crichigno, J.; Khan, S.; Ghani, N.; Shaban, K.... more authors ... less authors ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)Network virtualization provides a promising means of hosting multiple client infrastructures over a physical substrate. Now one of the key concerns here is how to map virtual network requests onto physical nodes and links, ... -
