More and more network services integrate the cloud platform to deliver their services. In order to accelerate the data sharing among users, data are usually divided and encapsulated into small pieces before delivery. However, the cloud file system enlarges the basic block size for maximizing the access throughput. This conflict between network transmission and cloud file system may induce high fragmentation...
The connected road infrastructure and roadside assistance services constitute an important consumer market segment in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Smart Cities. A closer look at available such services reveal the presence of data silos, heterogeneity and lack of interoperability. They affect the overall consumer experience and increase the cost of service development & maintenance...
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a special subset within the family of RFID. It is quite popular for a smart phone to support NFC features. In this paper, we use NFC technology to construct a one card points (OCP) system. The store staff can use a smart phone to scan the user's RFID tag or smart phone to manage the collected points for the user. Traditionally, stores distribute paper cards to users...
When running smart living applications requiring intensive computing power in a cloud, a proper resource management algorithm is required to guarantee the performance of the applications. The paper presents a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based resource management algorithm, GASdv2, for allocating cloud-based virtual machines on physical machines. GASdv2 analyzes the utilization of hardware resources (CPU,...
In this paper, an embedded cloud surveillance system for particular area security is designed, which consists of monitoring and control parts. The system uses an Arduino Yun board to be the platform, and uses two PIR sensors as well as a Webcam for a purpose of monitoring. Once PIR sensors detect someone close to the system, not only a buzzer will play alarm sounds, the camera will enable to monitor...
