    Networking for Cloud and Data Centre - A Systematic Mapping Study
    (International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology, 2019) Odun-Ayo, Isaac; Eweoya, Ibukun; Toro-Abasi, Williams; Bogle, Sherrene
    Cloud computing is an important network model, which enables communication between the various components of the cloud using different service types and models. Although the issue of identifying a specific area of research that is networking-related for Cloud and data center is usually a concern to a researcher, a review or survey paper assists in easily identifying likely topics of research. Therefore, the aim of this work is to carry out of a systematic mapping study of networking for Cloud and data center. These allows for categorization in a subject area using a scheme based on certain classification process. The scheme used in this paper was categorized into three facets namely: topic, research and contribution facets. The results showed that there were more publications in terms of design on networking for Cloud and data center in the area of metric, model and method with 2.52%, 16.81% and 7.56% respectively. There were more papers on security in networking for Cloud and data center in terms of tool with 5.04%, and more articles on management and scaling in the aspect of process. Also, more articles got published on design in the area of evaluation research, validation research and solution research with 9.92%, 9.16% and 7.63 % respectively. There were more work on philosophical papers in terms of management and scaling with 2.29% and more articles on security in relation to experience papers. This study reveals gaps in networking for Cloud and data center, and it should arouse research interest in the academia and the industry.

    A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING STUDY OF CLOUD COMPUTING MIDDLEWARE, STACKS, TOOLS, DELIVERY NETWORKS
    (International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Technology (IJMET), 2019-05) Odun-Ayo, Isaac; Samuel, Victoria; Eweoya, Ibukun; Oyom, Paul
    Cloud computing is presently playing a significant role in the provisioning of vital services in information technology. A unique aspect of cloud computing is the cloud middleware and other related entities which supports applications and networks. Determining a particular research area especially in terms of cloud middleware and services at all levels could be a cumbersome process for a researcher, hence the need for reviews and paper surveys that identify research gaps. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic mapping study of cloud computing middleware, stacks, tools and services at all layers. The focus was on three facets of studies, the research facet, topic facet and contribution facet. The results showed that there were more publications on tool in the contribution facet with tool, model, method and process having 18.10%, 13.79%, 6.03% and 8.62% respectively. In addition, evaluation and solution research had the largest number of articles in terms of tool with 14.17% and 26.77% respectively. A most striking aspect of the systematic map is that solution research has the highest frequencies of publication in relation to all aspects of the topics extracted for the study. This study clearly identified gaps in the field of cloud computing middleware, which should stimulate interest for further studies by both researchers and industry practitioners.

    A Systematic Mapping Study of Edge Computing and Internet of Things with the Cloud
    (International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology, 2019) Odun-Ayo, Isaac; Eweoya, Ibukun; Toro, Williams; Bogleb, Sherrene
    Cloud computing is a business paradigm wherein computers and computing related services are provided by Cloud Service Providers to consumers either as software, development platform, or infrastructure. The integration of edge computing and IoT with Cloud opens a new technological dimension and a vista of research opportunities in this field. To determine the research context specifically in edge computing and IoT in relation to the cloud is a rigorous research process, this is where reviews and paper surveys come to play; as they easily help to discover research gaps. This paper aims to conduct a systematic mapping study of integration of Edge and IoT with the Cloud. A combination of topical, research and contribution facets were used to analyze publications of interest in reputable journals, magazines and conferences. Obtained results showed that most publications were on the topic of Applications in terms of Tool and Model, with 11.21% and 17.76% respectively. They were closely followed by publications on Architecture in terms of Model and Tool with 11.21% and 5.61%. Opinion papers were the least in the aspects of Architectures. In addition, there were more publications on Evaluation and Solution research with respect to Application with 9.92% and 14.5% respectively. Most papers on Ubiquitous Networks were in the area of Validation research with 5.34%. Furthermore, there were more work on Optimization in the areas of Philosophical, Evaluation and Experience studies, with 7.62%, 6.11% and 6.11% respectively. The output of this research is to be of benefit to research community as it readily points out areas of research drought.

    Virtualization, Containerization, Composition, and Orchestration of Cloud Computing Services
    (Springer: International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications ; ICCSA 2019, 2019-06) Odun-Ayo, Isaac; Geteloma, Victor; Eweoya, Ibukun; Ahuja, Ravin
    Cloud Computing is a dynamic concept which applies virtualization cum allied techniques to facilitate the provision of services to users. To support provision of resources to users by the service and deployment models, core technologies such as virtualization, containerization and orchestration are used on the cloud. However, the task of having to determine a research focus is challenging and rigorous. A systematic map enables a synthesis of a scheme for categorizing data in a domain that interests researchers. This work conducts a systematic mapping study of virtualization, containerization and orchestration of cloud computing services. The results indicated that articles on virtualization in the area of valuation research and experience papers were 8.56% and 3.28% respectively. In addition, many articles discussed deployment based on validation and solution research with 4.92% and 13.93% respectively. There were more papers published that discussed orchestration in terms of philosophical papers with 2.45%. The lowest publications on models were on the topic of orchestration which was 1.9%. Also, the lowest number of papers on evaluation research was on deployment which was 3.28%. Furthermore, the lowest numbers of articles on validation research were on composition enabler which was 0.82%, while that of solution proposal were on orchestration with 0.82%. The result of this research reveals the gaps that will be beneficial to the trio of researchers, industries, and providers.
