Serverless computing has emerged as an attractive deployment option for cloud applications in recent times. The unique features of this computing model include, rapid auto-scaling, strong isolation, fine-grained billing options and access to a massive service ecosystem which autonomously handles resource management decisions. This model is increasingly being explored for deployments in geographically distributed edge and fog computing networks as well, due to these characteristics. Effective management of computing resources has always gained a lot of attention among researchers. The need to automate the entire process of resource provisioning, allocation, scheduling, monitoring and scaling, has resulted in the need for specialized focus on resource management under the serverless model. In this article, we identify the major aspects covering the broader concept of resource management in serverless environments and propose a taxonomy of elements which influence these aspects, encompassing characteristics of system design, workload attributes and stakeholder expectations. We take a holistic view on serverless environments deployed across edge, fog and cloud computing networks. We also analyse existing works discussing aspects of serverless resource management using this taxonomy. This article further identifies gaps in literature and highlights future research directions for improving capabilities of this computing model.

Cloud computing has rapidly emerged as model for delivering Internet-based utility computing services. In cloud computing, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of the most important and rapidly growing fields. Cloud providers provide users/machines resources such as virtual machines, raw (block) storage, firewalls, load balancers, and network devices in this service model. One of the most important aspects of cloud computing for IaaS is resource management. Scalability, quality of service, optimum utility, reduced overheads, increased throughput, reduced latency, specialised environment, cost effectiveness, and a streamlined interface are some of the advantages of resource management for IaaS in cloud computing. Traditionally, resource management has been done through static policies, which impose certain limitations in various dynamic scenarios, prompting cloud service providers to adopt data-driven, machine-learning-based approaches. Machine learning is being used to handle a variety of resource management tasks, including workload estimation, task scheduling, VM consolidation, resource optimization, and energy optimization, among others. This paper provides a detailed review of challenges in ML-based resource management in current research, as well as current approaches to resolve these challenges, as well as their advantages and limitations. Finally, we propose potential future research directions based on identified challenges and limitations in current research.
Quantum computing is an emerging paradigm with the potential to offer significant computational advantage over conventional classical computing by exploiting quantum-mechanical principles such as entanglement and superposition. It is anticipated that this computational advantage of quantum computing will help to solve many complex and computationally intractable problems in several areas such as drug design, data science, clean energy, finance, industrial chemical development, secure communications, and quantum chemistry. In recent years, tremendous progress in both quantum hardware development and quantum software/algorithm have brought quantum computing much closer to reality. Indeed, the demonstration of quantum supremacy marks a significant milestone in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era - the next logical step being the quantum advantage whereby quantum computers solve a real-world problem much more efficiently than classical computing. As the quantum devices are expected to steadily scale up in the next few years, quantum decoherence and qubit interconnectivity are two of the major challenges to achieve quantum advantage in the NISQ era. Quantum computing is a highly topical and fast-moving field of research with significant ongoing progress in all facets. This article presents a comprehensive review of quantum computing literature, and taxonomy of quantum computing. Further, the proposed taxonomy is used to map various related studies to identify the research gaps. A detailed overview of quantum software tools and technologies, post-quantum cryptography and quantum computer hardware development to document the current state-of-the-art in the respective areas. We finish the article by highlighting various open challenges and promising future directions for research.
Nowadays cloud computing adoption as a form of hosted application and services is widespread due to decreasing costs of hardware, software, and maintenance. Cloud enables access to a shared pool of virtual resources hosted in large energy-hungry data centers for diverse information and communication services with dynamic workloads. The huge energy consumption of cloud data centers results in high electricity bills as well as emission of a large amount of carbon dioxide gas. Needless to say, efficient resource management in cloud environments has become one of the most important priorities of cloud providers and consequently has increased the interest of researchers to propose novel energy saving solutions. This chapter presents a scientific and taxonomic survey of recent energy efficient cloud resource management solutions in cloud environments. The main objective of this study is to propose a novel complete taxonomy for energy-efficient cloud resource management solutions, review recent research advancements in this area, classify the existing techniques based on our proposed taxonomy, and open up new research directions. Besides, it reviews and surveys the literature in the range of 2015 through 2021 in the subject of energy-efficient cloud resource management techniques and maps them to its proposed taxonomy, which unveils novel research directions and facilitates the conduction of future researches.
As the quantity and complexity of information processed by software systems increase, large-scale software systems have an increasing requirement for high-performance distributed computing systems. With the acceleration of the Internet in Web 2.0, Cloud computing as a paradigm to provide dynamic, uncertain and elastic services has shown superiorities to meet the computing needs dynamically. Without an appropriate scheduling approach, extensive Cloud computing may cause high energy consumptions and high cost, in addition that high energy consumption will cause massive carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, inappropriate scheduling will reduce the service life of physical devices as well as increase response time to users request. Hence, efficient scheduling of resource or optimal allocation of request, that usually a NP-hard problem, is one of the prominent issues in emerging trends of Cloud computing. Focusing on improving quality of service (QoS), reducing cost and abating contamination, researchers have conducted extensive work on resource scheduling problems of Cloud computing over years. Nevertheless, growing complexity of Cloud computing, that the super-massive distributed system, is limiting the application of scheduling approaches. Machine learning, a utility method to tackle problems in complex scenes, is used to resolve the resource scheduling of Cloud computing as an innovative idea in recent years. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL), a combination of deep learning (DL) and reinforcement learning (RL), is one branch of the machine learning and has a considerable prospect in resource scheduling of Cloud computing. This paper surveys the methods of resource scheduling with focus on DRL-based scheduling approaches in Cloud computing, also reviews the application of DRL as well as discusses challenges and future directions of DRL in scheduling of Cloud computing.
Edge/Fog computing is a novel computing paradigm that provides resource-limited Internet of Things (IoT) devices with scalable computing and storage resources. Compared to cloud computing, edge/fog servers have fewer resources, but they can be accessed with higher bandwidth and less communication latency. Thus, integrating edge/fog and cloud infrastructures can support the execution of diverse latency-sensitive and computation-intensive IoT applications. Although some frameworks attempt to provide such integration, there are still several challenges to be addressed, such as dynamic scheduling of different IoT applications, scalability mechanisms, multi-platform support, and supporting different interaction models. FogBus2, as a new python-based framework, offers a lightweight and distributed container-based framework to overcome these challenges. In this chapter, we highlight key features of the FogBus2 framework alongside describing its main components. Besides, we provide a step-by-step guideline to set up an integrated computing environment, containing multiple cloud service providers (Hybrid-cloud) and edge devices, which is a prerequisite for any IoT application scenario. To obtain this, a low-overhead communication network among all computing resources is initiated by the provided scripts and configuration files. Next, we provide instructions and corresponding code snippets to install and run the main framework and its integrated applications. Finally, we demonstrate how to implement and integrate several new IoT applications and custom scheduling and scalability policies with the FogBus2 framework.
