In the age of Internet of Things (IoT), sensors form a foundational component of IoT services, yet they are rigid with little capability for programmable configuration or reusability as they are application-specific, manufacturer-specific. Emerging IoT applications often deploy a vast number of sensors which may serve multiple applications. Programmability is thus essential but not found in legacy...
Fog computing preserves benefits of cloud computing and is strategically positioned to address effectively many local and performance issues because its resources and specific services are virtualized and located at the edge of the customer premises. Resource management is a critical issue affecting system performance significantly. Due to the complex distribution and high mobility of fog devices,...
Cloud computing has established itself as an alternative IT infrastructure and service model. However, as with all logically centralized resource and service provisioning infrastructures, cloud does not handle well local issues involving a large number of networked elements (IoTs) and it is not responsive enough for many applications that require immediate attention of a local controller. Fog computing...
Cloud computing has been adopted as an efficient computing infrastructure model for provisioning resources and providing services to users. Several distributed resource models such as Hadoop and parallel databases have been deployed in healthcare-related services to manage electronic health records (EHR). However, these models are inefficient for managing a large number of small files and hence they...
Cloud computing and cloud services provide an alternative IT infrastructure and service models for users. The users use cloud to store their data, delegate the management of the data, and deploy their services cost-effectively. This usage model, however, raised a number of concerns relating to data control, data protection and data mobility: 1) users may lose control of their resource, 2) data protection...
Cloud computing dramatically reduces the expense and complexity of managing IT systems. Business customers do not need to invest in their own costly IT infrastructure, but can delegate and deploy their services effectively to cloud vendors and service providers. A number of security and protection mechanisms have been proposed to prevent the disclosure of sensitive information or tempering with the...
