	abstract = {<p>In a Smart City scenario, the authors envisioned an IoT-Cloud framework for the management of boards and resources scattered over a geographic area. It can also become a tool to let device owners contribute freely to the infrastructure. In comparison to datacenter-oriented Cloud middleware, the administrator and the owner of the infrastructure are not one and the same. This translates into the requirement to support delegation-enabled authorization. In this paper, the authors investigate an authorization and delegation model for the IoT-Cloud based on blockchain technology. In particular, the scheme is implemented in the form of smart contracts over the Ethereum platform. Indeed, this approach represents an enhancement, over a function previously designed in a centralized fashion, by enabling the user to audit authorization operations and inspect how access control is actually performed, without blindly trusting the Cloud as a proxy for access to resources. {\textcopyright} 2018 IEEE.</p>

	abstract = {<p>Cloud computing is becoming a relatively mature paradigm in the ICT landscape. In light of the growing appetite for resources and service levels on par with user expectations, multi-cloud scenarios are becoming the next frontier in the usage of distributed datacenters for private and hybrid Cloud scenarios. Application deployment in particular is a noteworthy feature to be evaluated as microservices become mainstream in adoption. Especially so when considered jointly with orchestration services; indeed OpenStack, as the most widely adopted Cloud middleware among the OpenSource community, features an orchestration subsystem, and may orchestrate the deployment of applications and services. In this work the authors will describe an architecture, developed within the H2020 BEACON project, for a standardized approach to orchestrated application deployment in multi-Cloud OpenStack-based setups, with TOSCA providing the specifications. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.</p>
