Combining sensors from smartphones and Internet of Things (IoT) (e.g., light, sound, UV radiation) enables a new kind of context aware applications in areas like smart cities or smart buildings. Such applications would require continuous evaluation of frequently changing data (smartphone sensors and IoT sensors), and continuous polling of IoT sensor data to the phone. Offloading both the evaluation...
As increasingly more applications are deployed in vehicles, how to provide the demanded computational capability becomes crucial. This paper proposes the hybrid vehicular cloud (HVC) framework for cloud computing on the road to increase the computational capability of vehicles by using resources from the centralized cloud, RSU, and neighboring vehicles. The proposed scheme can be used as a general...
Cloud infrastructures are extremely flexible and powerful, but their data centers are located very far from the end users. To address the limitations of these systems, many researchers are designing mobile edge clouds which complement traditional clouds with additional resources located in immediate proximity of the end users. However, currently there exists no open-source mobile edge cloud implementation...
Current cloud-based solutions of mobile commerce (m-commerce) for on-demand transport services, such as Uber and Didi Dache, uses a take-it-or-leave-it market mechanism, in which passengers and drivers have no option but to accept or reject given market prices determined by transport companies. Such a market mechanism does not consider the actual needs of passengers and drivers, e.g., high-urgency...
Most of the existing elderly people watching services are belonging to the service category of a confirmation of elderly people's safety based on one-way communication from elderly people. Therefore, we propose a Social Media Intermediation Robot used for the interactive communication between elderly people and younger generation via existing social media. This robot system has been implemented on...
Video transcoding is the process of converting a video to the format supported by the viewer's device. Video transcoding requires a huge storage and computational resources, thus, many video stream providers choose to carry it out on the cloud. Video streaming providers generally need to prepare several formats of the same video (termed pre-transcoding) and stream the appropriate format to the viewer...
In disaster scenarios requiring real-time response to multiple incidents in a limited period of time, the importance of efficient allocation of resources such as paramedics and supplies becomes crucial. Yet, this need is often complicated by the dynamic nature of emergencies, with differing levels of patient priority and accessibility, unknown degrees of communication and computation infrastructure...
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) has becomea significant research area recently, due to its potentialadvantages and applications, especially in the field ofIntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, thehigh mobility of vehicular environment poses crucial challengesto resources allocation and management in VCC, which makesits implementation more complex than conventional clouds. Many works have...
Mobile cloud computing has become popular because of its flexible infrastructure and easily accessible storage, sensing, and computing services. However, scheduling and allocating resources for the tasks provided by the cloud user are major challenges in the mobile cloud. The existing scheduling algorithms in the mobile cloud primarily focus on dividing and distributing a single task among multiple...
Offloading the computation-intensive task of mobileinteractive applications into cloudlets has become a popularway to reduce the response time in mobile cloud computingarea. In response to the rapid change of mobile environment, researchers have proposed online offloading decisions for variousapplications. However, the pruning method they used wouldperform poorly for the non-linear topology of applications...
