 CLOUD COMPUTING REFERENCE MODEL

The cloud computing reference model is a general high-level architecture and is meant for a cloud computing reference architecture provided, which outlines the primary performer/actor and the understanding of the cloud computing needs, uses, features, and standards. An overview of the NIST primary players, as indicated in the figure below. Each performer is an entity that might be a person or a cloud computing activity and role. The NIST cloud computing reference architecture identifies five organization that takes part in a transaction or process and complete duties in cloud computing.




1. Cloud consumer: 

The cloud consumer is the cloud computing service's most significant stakeholder. A cloud consumer is a person or organization who has a commercial connection with a cloud provider and consumes its services. A cloud consumer browses a cloud provider's service catalog, requests the right service, establishes service contracts with the cloud provider, and consumes the service. The cloud consumer may be invoiced for the service provided and must make payment arrangements appropriately.


2. Cloud Provider: 

A cloud provider is a person or an organization that is responsible for making a service available to interested parties. A cloud provider purchases and administers the computer equipment necessary to supply the services, operates the cloud software that offers the services, and arranges for the cloud services to be delivered to cloud consumers via network access. In the case of Software as a Service, the cloud provider deploys, configures, maintains, and upgrades the functioning of software applications on cloud infrastructure so that the services are provided to cloud consumers at the required service levels.



3. Cloud Auditor: 

A cloud auditor is a party who can do an impartial analysis of cloud service controls to provide an opinion on them. Audits are carried out to ensure that standards are met by reviewing objective evidence. A cloud auditor can assess a cloud provider's services in terms of security measures, privacy implications, performance, and so on.


4. Cloud broker: 

As cloud computing advances, cloud service integration may become too difficult for cloud users to maintain. Instead of contacting a cloud provider directly, a cloud user might request cloud services using a cloud broker. A cloud broker is a company that handles the usage, performance, and delivery of cloud services and negotiates contracts between cloud providers and cloud users.


5.  Cloud carrier: 

A cloud carrier operates as a middleman between cloud users and cloud providers, providing connectivity and transfer of cloud services. Cloud carriers give users access via a network, telecommunication, and other access devices. Cloud users, for example, can access cloud services via network access devices such as PCs, laptops, mobile phones, mobile Internet devices, and so on.


The interaction between the performers is depicted in the figure below. A cloud consumer can request cloud services directly from a cloud provider or through a cloud broker. A cloud auditor does independent audits and may contact others to get information.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

What is national data warehouse? What is census data?

National Data warehouse   A large number of national data warehouses can be identified from the existing data resources within the central government ministries. These are potential subject areas in which data warehouses may be developed at present and in the future. Census Data Census data can help planners and others understand their communities' social, economic, and demographic conditions. Census data is the primary data used by planners to understand the social, economic, and demographic conditions locally and nationally. We sometimes think the census is unique to the United States, but census data is collected in other countries.  The total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data about a specific time to all people in a country or fixed or defined area part of a country. Most countries also include a housing census. A census is a procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given populat
