As the number of people who interact on social networks increases, and coupled with the greater capability made available within our computational devices, there is the potential to establish “Social Clouds”—a resource sharing infrastructure that enable people who have trust relationships to come together to share computational/ data services within a community. Social clouds can also provide the...
The use of cloud computing for AEC (Architecture/ Engineering/ Construction) projects has been intensively explored in recent research. Companies have adopted cloud computing for storing the massive amount of data that the AEC industry generates. In most cases these cloud systems are private, isolated and limited in terms of the actual computing operations. With the emergence of "multi-Clouds"...
Software-defined networks (SDNs) have proven to be an efficacious tool for undertaking complex data analysis and manipulation within data intensive applications. SDN technology allows us to separate the data path from the control path, enabling in-network processing capabilities to be supported as data is migrated across the network. We propose to leverage software defined networking to gain control...
With increasing availability of instrumented infrastructures in built environments, it is necessary to understand how such data will be stored, processed and analysed in a timely manner. Many "smart cities" applications, for instance, identify how data from building sensors can be combined together to support applications such as emergency response, energy management, etc. Enabling sensor...
One of the key benefits of Cloud systems is their ability to provide elastic, on-demand (seemingly infinite) computing capability and performance for supporting service delivery. With the resource availability in single data centres proving to be limited, the option of obtaining extra-resources from a collection of Cloud providers has appeared as an efficacious solution. The ability to utilize resources...
