| Aneka |
|
| Aneka is a market oriented Cloud development and management platform with rapid application development and workload distribution capabilities. Aneka is an integrated middleware package which allows you to seamlessly build and manage an interconnected network in addition to accelerating development, deployment and management of distributed applications using Microsoft .NET frameworks on these networks. It is market oriented since it allows you to build, schedule, provision and monitor results using pricing, accounting, QoS/SLA services in private and/or public (leased) network environments. |

| CloudSim |
|
| Cloud computing focuses on delivery of reliable, secure, fault-tolerant, sustainable, and scalable infrastructures for hosting Internet-based application services. These applications have different composition, configuration, and deployment requirements. Quantifying the performance of scheduling and allocation policy on a Cloud infrastructure (hardware, software, services) for different application and service models under varying load, energy performance (power consumption, heat dissipation), and system size is an extremely challenging problem to tackle. The use of real test beds such as Amazon EC2, limits the experiments to the scale of the testbed, and makes the reproduction of results an extremely difficult undertaking, as the conditions prevailing in the Internet-based environments are beyond the control of the tester. |

| Melbourne CLOUDS Lab |
|
| The Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, formerly GRIDS Lab, is a software research and development group within the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia. The CLOUDS Lab is actively engaged in the design and development of next-generation computing systems and applications that aggregate or lease services of distributed resources depending on their availability, capability, performance, cost, and users' quality-of-science requirements. The lab is working towards realizing this vision through its two flagship projects: Gridbus and Cloudbus. |

| MetaCDN |
|
| Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) such as Akamai and Mirror Image place web server clusters in numerous geographical locations to improve the responsiveness and locality of the content it hosts for end-users. However, their services are priced out of reach for all but the largest enterprise customers. An alternative approach to content delivery could be achieved by leveraging existing infrastructure provided by ’storage cloud’ providers, at a fraction of the cost. MetaCDN is a system that leverages several existing ’storage clouds’, creating an integrated overlay network that provides a low cost, high performance content delivery network for content creators. MetaCDN intelligently places content onto one or many storage providers based on the quality of service, coverage and budget preferences of participants. |

| OpenPEX |
|
| Virtual Machines (VMs) have become capable enough to emulate full-featured physical machines in all aspects. Therefore, they have become the foundation not only for flexible data center infrastructure but also for commercial Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions. However, current providers of virtual infrastructure offer simple mechanisms through which users can ask for immediate allocation of VMs. More sophisticated economic and allocation mechanisms are required so that users can plan ahead and IaaS providers can improve their revenue. This paper introduces OpenPEX, a system that allows users to provision resources ahead of time through advance reservations. OpenPEX also incorporates a bilateral negotiation protocol that allows users and providers to come to an agreement by exchanging offers and counter-offers. These functions are made available to users through a web portal and a REST-based Web service interface. |
