The rapid increase of connected devices and the major advances in information and communication technologies have led to great emergence in the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT devices require software adaptation as they are in continuous transition. Multi-agent based solutions offer adaptable composition for IoT systems. Mobile agents can also be used to enable interoperability and global intelligence...
Modern healthcare services are serving patients needs by using new technologies such as wearable devices or cloud of things. The new technology provides more facilities and enhancements to the existing healthcare services as it allows more flexibility in terms of monitoring patients records and remotely connecting with the patients via cloud of things. However, there are many security issues such...
These days, microservice architecture is widely used in the design and development of many real-time, critical, and large-scale online services. These services are typically deployed using Docker containers on cloud platforms. Container technology supports the deployment of these services with high portability, scalability, and performance, when compared to deploying them using virtual machines (i...
Applications developed to fulfil distributed systems needs have been growing rapidly. Major evolutions have happened beginning with basic architecture relying on initiated request by a client to a processing side referred to as the server. Such architectures were not enough to cope up with the fast ever-increasing number of requests and need to utilize network bandwidth. Mobile agents attempted to...
This paper presents an Elastic Cloud Resource Allocation scheme that allocates minimal cloud VM resources that are needed to satisfy a given Service Level Objective (SLO) response time for cloud based elastic applications. More importantly, the algorithm attempts to mitigate any response time violation that could arise during the provisioning of cloud VM instances. Our proposed scheme utilizes queueing...
As technology is exponentially regenerated and developed; new educational methods are needed to assure better educational outcomes. Recently schools have started integrating recent technology into the educational process in order to attract students and increase their engagement in the process. This paper will demonstrate how an augmented immersive reality mobile application can work to enrich the...
This paper presents an Augmented Interactive Reality book (AIR) application, aimed to enhance the reading experience of adult-learners by incorporating Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve the interaction of normal books. Various features and characteristics of Augmented Reality (AR) were applied to the chosen book, "My Vision" written by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,...
With the fast paced improvements in smart devices such as tablets and smartphones, many schools in the developed countries are trying to improve the traditional pedagogical methods by harnessing smart learning technology for different purposes. In this paper, we proposed the use of a smart novel educational technology to immerse the students in the learning process by engaging as many of the students'...
With the support of the wearable devices, healthcare services started a new phase in serving patients need. The new technology adds more facilities and luxury to the healthcare services, Also changes patients' lifestyles from the traditional way of monitoring to the remote home monitoring. Such new approach faces many challenges related to security as sensitive data get transferred through different...
A Mobile agent (MA) is an intelligent software that performs tasks on behalf of its owner. MAs collect results migrating from one node to another. MAs have a small size and a low requirement of network bandwidth, they also reduce the load of the network making a Mobile Agent System (MAS) a preferred solution in distributed applications. Intelligent Vehicular Communication Systems are an excellent...
Agents technology plays an important role in the development of many major service applications. However, balancing between the flexible features agents provide, and their vulnerability to many security oriented attacks are considered a great challenge. In this paper we review trust models that are proposed in the literature to provide trustworthiness and security to Multi Agent Systems (MAS). We...
This paper presents a queuing algorithm to find the minimal number of VMs to satisfy Service Level Object (SLO) response time. Using queuing theory, the model guarantees SLO for cloud-hosted applications or services by using minimal number of resources with its maximum capacity. Our proposed algorithm reduces cost for both clients and service providers. Clients pay for the usable resources and the...
The advancement in technology nowadays has improved learning methods that are beginning to override the traditional methods. Augmented Reality (AR) is one such technology that has seen many applications in education. This paper describes how an Immersive Augmented Reality (iAR) application in conjunction with a book, can act as a new smart learning method by engaging as many of the user's senses and...
To provide elasticity for cloud-hosted applications, there is a need to specify the appropriate location of the resources (computing and storage resources) while meeting SLA promises. This paper presents literature review, problem statement and research methodology.
Over the last years, indoor localization and navigation is becoming a hot topic. With the increasing number of buildings, indoor positioning and navigation has turned out to be more important than outdoors. In the literature, many papers discuss wireless based indoor positioning systems. Essentially based on Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or existing solutions...
Indoor guidance is becoming a significant issue with the increasing number of buildings. This paper describes an Android based indoor map guidance system that assists and guides visitors inside public buildings (e.g. schools, shopping malls, airports, museums, exhibition centers). It utilizes NFC (Near Field Communication) technology and QR (Quick Response) Codes, which are low cost, to determine...
CAViAR is a mobile software system for indoor environments that provides to the mobile user equipped with a smartphone indoor localization, augmented reality (AR), visual interaction, and indoor navigation. These capabilities are possible with the availability of state of the art AR technologies. The mobile application includes additional features, such as indoor maps, shortest path, inertial navigation,...
