The highlights of research activities and outcomes in 2017 are:

* The CLOUDS Lab successfully hosted two ARC research projects (Discovery and Linkage Projects) along with two industry funded projects.

* The Lab’s flagship Cloudbus Project has released various new modules for Aneka, CloudSim and iFogSim. The iFogSim building on CloudSim is emerging as a de-facto Toolkit for modelling and simulation of Fog and Edge computing environments. It has been used by several researchers in academia and industries around the world.

* Members have presented over 40 invited talks that include 13 keynotes delivered at international conferences/seminars held in Australia, India, Indonesia, Mauritius, and UK.

* The Lab successfully hosted research activities of over 25 scholars, which include 16 PhD students and 4 Research Fellows.

* “2017 Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher” recognition from Thomson Reuters for a team member!

* The Lab housed several (short and long term) international visitors (academic and PhD students) from India, China, Germany, Estonia, and UK.

Wish you all a happy, peaceful, and prosperous rest of the year 2017.
