Title: Resource Provisioning in Hybrid Cloud Computing in the Presence of Resource Failures
 
Abstract: Hybrid Cloud computing is receiving increasing attention in recent days. With the increasing presence, scale, and complexity of these systems, resource failures are inevitable. Such failures can result in frequent performance degradation, premature termination of execution, data corruption and loss, violation of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and cause a devastating loss of customers and revenue. In this talk, the reliability in hybrid Cloud computing systems will be reviewed and discussed. Moreover, a set of resource provisioning policies considering failure model, workload model and failure correlation will be proposed. Using real failure traces and workload model, we evaluate the proposed resource provisioning policies to demonstrate their performance, cost as well as performance--‐cost efficiency. Finally, the Failure Trace Archive, which serves as a public repository of failure traces and algorithms for distributed systems will be presented.
 
Bio: Dr. Bahman Javadi is a Senior Lecturer in Networking and Cloud Computing at the Western Sydney University, Australia. He is recently appointed as the Director of Academic Program for the Postgraduate ICT Courses in the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics. Prior to this appointment, he was a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. From 2008 to 2010, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the INRIA Rhone--‐Alpes, France. He has been a Research Scholar at the School of Engineering and Information Technology, Deakin University, Australia during his PhD course. He is co--‐founder of the Failure Trace Archive, which serves as a public repository of failure traces and algorithms for distributed systems. He has received numerous Best Paper Awards at IEEE/ACM conferences for his research papers. He served as a program committee of many international conferences and workshops. He has also guest edited many special issue journals. His research interests include Cloud and Grid computing, performance evaluation of large scale distributed computing systems, and reliability and fault tolerance.
