The goal of the DiDiER project is to verifiably improve services in the field of dietary counselling. This will be achieved by digitising information to increase counselling intensity and to improve workflows for the service provider. The project will develop an IT-based support system for dietary counselling, covering two use cases, facilitation and support of the work of nutritionists in ambulatory...
Survivability of contents/files in data centers, when a disaster occurs, is becoming a major challenge in designing cloud-based services. To handle such a situation, a robust communication protocol is needed, so that provisions can be made to allocate an alternative fault-free path, when a disaster disrupts the path used for data communication before the disaster occurs. In this work we have presented...
In seeking solutions to the engagement of STEM learners, the research community has offered approaches on both the learning technology and STEM pedagogy fronts. These approaches are predominantly being developed in parallel with negligible empirical studies as to the integration of applied learning theory and delivery technology. To compound this challenge there exists the critical component of developing...
The stochastic nature of the cloud systems makes cloud quality of service (QoS) performance diagnosis and prediction a challenging task. A plethora of factors including virtual machine types, data centre regions, CPU types, time-of-the-day, and day-of-the-week contribute to the variability of the cloud QoS. The state-of-the-art methods for cloud performance diagnosis do not capture and model complex...
Modern cloud computing systems have been using multiple processing units on servers to increase their processing capability. Recently, applications with multiple parallelization options have been witnessed, and serve as a promising model for efficiently utilizing the processing capacity of the system. In this paper, we consider utility-based scheduling for periodic multisegment tasks with multiple...
Fog computing is a promising paradigm in terms of extending cloud computing to an edge network. In a broad sense, fog computing in Internet-of-Vehicles(IoV) provides low-latency services since fog nodes are closely located with moving cars and are locally distributed. In this paper, we propose a fog computing architecture based on a publish/subscribe model. After that, we describe a traffic congestion...
To support the various services quickly and flexibly, intelligence and automation are the key characters for future network resource management. How to build a big data based Telco cloud resource management framework is very important currently, which can leverages the power of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and enhances telecom operators' availability of service, efficiency of resource, and...
Sequence alignment has been used to align DNA sequences to find matching segments of DNA from different specimens. Just as DNA sequences can be used to find similar patterns in DNA, this process can also be used on computer programs to identify when segments of code have been reused. Malware programs generally are made from other malware programs or malware templates. The byte information of these...
At present the institutions of higher learning attempt to be competitive for their applicants. Therefore, they look for new ways of attracting them. One of the ways is also the efficient use of modern technologies since the young generation entering these institutions is the so-called digital natives who perceive technologies as an inseparable part of their lives. The purpose of this article is to...
This poster looks at adapting Intrusion Detection Systems solutions to multiple SDN based domains. We present a preliminary evaluation of the performance in terms of latency cost while offering IDS solutions as a service (IDSaaS) in SDN. The goal is to eventually be able to determine what resources are needed in order for the IDSaaS in SDN to perform in a manner that is almost comparable to running...
Workshop is one of the most important practical training processes in current colleges design education activities. At present, there are mainly two design workshop models for colleges: one is held by some colleges on the occasion of the academic meeting opportunity, and the other one is held by creative industrial parks or creative corporations. However, neither of them could be conducted in a normalized...
Cloud computing is fast gaining popularity in educational institutions of developing countries like Nigeria. Software as a Service, Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service are the three key models through which cloud computing services are delivered to end-users. A number of studies have been conducted to identify the enabling factors as well as the issues being faced as regards the...
Instead of the current trend consisting of building larger and larger data centers (DCs) in few strategic locations, the DISCOVERY initiative proposes to leverage any network point of presences (PoP, i.e., a small or medium-sized network center) available through the Internet. The key idea is to demonstrate a widely distributed Cloud platform that can better match the geographical dispersal of users...
The importance of understanding the information technology (IT) adoption process in organizations has been highlighted by many researchers. Information technology adoption at individual or organizational level is a highly researched topic in the IT field. Most literature on IT adoption in organizations is often premised on the assumption that IT investment benefits are always obvious after selecting...
The Apache Hadoop software library has been a widely used framework for extremely large-scale reliable, scalable, and distributed computing. Previous researches pointed out that the shuffle phase can be the performance bottleneck of a MapReduce job because of network congestion in the Hadoop data center. To address this issue, the idea of introducing the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology...
Cloud computing and service-oriented computing brought new opportunities for companies. However, numerous challenges, (e.g., related to application design and deployment, service monitoring) are associated with the cloud and provisioned services. Complex SLAs need to be established and monitored. Current approaches do not sufficiently address the challenges of QoS monitoring in multi-cloud environments...
This paper proposes innovative methodologies of building a Cloud Computing Platform to help industrial users to reduce product EMC compliance cost and speed up compliance procedure. Computer Guided EMC Compliance Concept and methodology are introduced with embodiments. A novel Cloud Computing Platform composed of Computing-View-Controller units is presented to guide industrial user effectively modifying...
"Cloud Computing" is a technique which content software and web-services. We use it on pay-per use demand services. Central to all issues related to Cloud service lies under the establishment of an effective load balancing algorithm in a dynamic session. In this paper, we propose an approach of Round Robin technique in a circular way and by this method we try to clarify the load balancing...
Cloud computing has been established as a novel approach for computing where virtualized resources are available on demand. This permits the user to concentrate on the functional area and frees her/him from the burden of setting up data centers, hardware, software, network and licensing etc. Cloud computing helps in cost saving, easy accessibility, security, and 24×7 availability of resources to the...
This article draws on the design and implementation of three mobile learning projects introduced by Flanagan in 2011, 2012 and 2014 engaging a total of 206 participants. The latest of these projects is highlighted in this article. Two other projects provide additional examples of innovative strategies to engage mobile and cloud systems describing how electronic and mobile technology can help facilitate...
