In a cloud environment, a cloud broker is an important entity that works as an independent middleware between cloud customers and providers to address the issues related to satisfying the customer preferences and the service provider profits through negotiation between them. In recent years, researchers have published many articles which are directly or indirectly related to this research area. A systematic method is vital for extracting all search spaces (journals, conferences, and workshops) and primary studies (articles) conducted in the field of cloud broker and then selecting some studies with the highest quality. An important part of the presented systematic review is providing an appropriate research method that can extract large volumes of related studies. The current systematic review includes a comprehensive 3-tier strategy (manual search, backward snowballing, and database search). The accuracy of the search methodology has been analyzed in terms of extracting related stu...

Architecting Cloud-Enabled Systems: A Systematic Survey of Challenges and Solutions, 2016

The literature on the challenges of and potential solutions to architecting cloud-based systems is rapidly growing, but is scattered. It is important to systematically analyze and synthesize the existing research on architecting cloud-based software systems in order to build a cohesive body of knowledge of the reported challenges and solutions. We have systematically identified and reviewed 133 papers that report architecture related challenges and solutions for cloud-based software systems. This paper reports the methodological details, findings, and implications of a systematic review that has enabled us to identify 44 unique categories of challenges and associated solutions for architecting cloud-based software systems. We assert that the identified challenges and solutions classified into the categories form a body of knowledge that can be leveraged for designing or evaluating software architectures for cloud-based systems. Our key conclusions are that a large number of primary studies focus on middleware services aimed at achieving scalability, performance, response time and efficient resource optimization. Architecting cloud-based systems presents unique challenges as the systems to be designed range from pervasive embedded systems and enterprise applications to smart devices with Internet of Things (IoTs). We also conclude that there is a huge potential of research on architecting cloud-based systems in areas related to green computing, energy efficient systems, mobile cloud computing and IoTs.

We present a review on Cloud Computing through a systematic analysis of some 79 articles, published in first rank journals and conferences in 2008-2011. We identify topics, issues, research strategies in the literature. The paper is structured in two parts: the first one describes what Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is, and the second one illustrates the framework to evaluate and select research work.
