Efficient and Secure Resource Discovery in Intercloud Environment

Abstract

Intercloud has evolved as a logical concept in the domain of cloud newlinecomputing that extends the computational scale and geographic boundaries newlineby collaborating disparate cloud service providers (CSPs). It aims at newlineproviding resources both storage and computational to private and public newlineclouds enabling greater flexibility and sustainable quality-of-service. newlineHowever, achieving efficient and effective resource discovery within this newlineglobal, distributed and extremely heterogeneous domain is critical to newlinefacilitate effective cross-utilisation of resources/ services. newline
