Abstract-The Internet of Things (IoT) has presented many new dimensions to information technology and data communications and has helped to develop the concepts of Smart City, Smart Travel, Smart Surveillance, Smart Health, Smart Energy, Smart Agriculture, etc. IoT offers lots of opportunity to alter conventional monitoring methods through the use of Smart IT, but it has performance limitations in terms of computational resources, limited storage and processing big data. By merging IoT and cloud computing the industry can overcome the low processing power and storage limitations of IoT, since, cloud computing is ubiquitous, comprises high computational and storage capacity ability, has unlimited virtual resources available and is capable of processing big data. However, the cloud is not a free resource and its costs need to be managed. In this paper, we discuss various cost issues which need to be smartly managed for Industries adopting the Cloud with IoT.

Cloud computing evolve as a cost effective business model for IT companies to focus on their core business without perturbing on infrastructure related issues. Hence, major IT firms and Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) are adopting cloud services on rental basis from cloud providers. Cloud Service level agreements (SLA) act as a key liaison between consumers and providers on renting Anything as a Service (AaaS). Design of such an agreement must aim for greater profit to providers as well as assured availability of services to consumers. However in reality, cloud SLA is not satisfying the parties involved because of its inherent complex nature and issues. Also currently most of the agreements are unilateral to favour the provider. This study focuses on comprehensive, 360-degree survey on different aspects of the cloud service agreements. We detailed the life cycle of SLA based on negotiation, different types of SLA, current standards, languages & characteristics, metrics and issues involved in it. This study will help the cloud actors to understand and evaluate the agreements and to make firm decision on negotiation. The need for standardized, bilateral, semantic SLA has also been proposed.

The diversity of Cloud computing services is challenging the application developers as various and non-standard interfaces are provided for these services. Few middleware solutions were developed until now to support the design, deployment and execution of service-independent applications as well as the management of resources from multiple Clouds. This paper focuses on one of these advanced middleware solutions, called mOSAIC. Written after the completion of its development, this paper presents an integrated overview of the mOSAIC approach and the use of its various software prototypes in a Cloud application development process. We are starting from the design concepts and arrive to various applications, as well as to the position versus similar initiatives.
