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...
This paper focuses on sensor data management in the Solar Car Optimized Route Estimation (SCORE) system which is currently being developed. The data collection is split into two phases: the a priori phase related to the environment and the real time phase related to the solar vehicle. The hardware and software architecture for a priori phase is illustrated in detail, while the real time phase is discussed...
The widespread use of mobile technology has accelerated the popularity of social networking services, and has made these services convenient to access. This paper presents a behaviometric mobile application, namely TrackMaison (Track My activity in social networks). TrackMaison keeps track of social network service usage of smartphone users through data usage, location, usage frequency and session...
Packet-based mobile networks are increasingly carrying internet traffic mostly for data intensive-applications. Mobile internet usage, with 67% share worldwide, is very important for mobile users. Because of the explosive growth of mobile data usage demand, data speed analysis is a very essential way to characterize network quality and user experience for service providers. Key Performance Indicators...
In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), any vehicle uses a location service to get an up-to-date data of all vehicles' positions in its vicinity. Many location services rely on infrastructures to perform location update and location query tasks. However, the infrastructure penetration rate may differ from one region to another. We propose in this paper a new location service called Vehicle-Aided Location...
A MapReduce-based framework for processing data at edges, includingnodes on the Internet of Things (IoT), is presented in this paper. Although MapReduce processing and its clones have been designed forhigh-performance server clusters, the processing itself is simple andgeneralized, so it should be used in non-high-performance computingenvironments, e.g., IoT and sensor networks. The proposed frameworkdeploys...
The advent of native mobile technologies particularly advances in the Mobile Operating Systems (OS), popularly among Android, Windows Mobile OS, iOS and their acceptance as an alternative to existing browser based access; has enabled the remote access of equipment and instruments over the World Wide Web (WWW). While more and more remote control solutions have been implemented in the industry via Local...
Mobile Cloud Computing is an emerging technology in today's digital era which enables mobile users to utilize the Cloud services. It enjoys the advantage of both Mobile and Cloud Computing but at the same time, it leaves out some of the pitfalls of both these computing technologies. In traditional Cloud computing, only the resources provided by the stationary Cloud were borrowed but the cooperation...
Smart Internet Devices (SIDs) particularly Smartphones are soon turned to be super computers, while the restricted battery timing is a focused issue which hinders the steady meeting expectations yield of these devices. In addition, various sensors, high resolution LCDs, wireless interfaces, GPS and other advanced features drain battery quickly, thus, shrinking the operational time. Subsequently, increasing...
After a user logs into web server using a public personal computer or a mobile device such as mobile phone, the leakage of his personal information may occur because he often forgets to log out from web server. To prevent the leakage of the personal information instantaneously, we propose a new login status control method based on the connectivity of web servers and a single mobile application. The...
Advancement in evolution of Internet technologies like 3G, 4G, and 5G, there is a need of good quality of service (QoS) for such wireless networks. Faster responses are required for various queries raised by mobile terminals (MTs) from any mobile computing environment. There has been many research works proposed in the past to address the QoS issue by using an Invalidation Report (IR)-based cache...
The recent proliferation of smartphones and tablets leads to consider such devices as means for the execution of cyber-attacks. This scenario has rarely been considered earlier, since mobile devices always represented a target for cyber-criminals, rather than a vector to exploit. In this paper we introduce an innovative mobile bot net infrastructure, composed by mobile agents, for the execution of...
As the important part of the virtual application system, the remote control software plays an important role in the interaction between system and user. With the rise of mobile Internet, the virtual desktop software which runs in PC has been very difficult to adapt to the demand for mobile communication. This paper mainly introduces mobile virtual application, which based on the Remote Desktop Protocol...
Offloading is a technique that utilises the powerful computation resource of Clouds by migrating heavy computations from thin clients like mobile devices to a remote server. Although task completion in the cloud is usually fast, an unreliable network connection often causes delays or interruptions which level the advantages of powerful resources off. Restart is an efficient method that can under certain...
With the advent of smart phones, mobile phones underwent metamorphosis and became the mother of all inventions. Transforming into devices capable of handling high end applications, mobile phones have introduced the features of mobility and portability in almost all applications and software that were designed for a personal computer. They also serve as dynamic gateways to the internet through which...
Mobile devices such as smartphones are extremely popular now. In spite of their huge popularity, the computational ability of mobile devices is still low. Computational offloading is a way to transfer some of the heavy computational tasks to server(cloud) so that the efficiency and usability of the system increases. In this paper, we have developed a metaheuristic approach for application partitioning...
This paper presents a system for the remote monitoring of a newborn infant's physiological data outside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. By providing a simple means for parents to enable monitoring, and physicians a simple mobile application to monitor live and historical physiological information, this system provides the insight once only possible in an Intensive Care Unit. The system utilizes...
Reducing Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is one of the important Millennium Development Goal (MDG) [1] and many countries are working on it. In India, it is being addressed through National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). Though Government is taking huge efforts, considering the vast geographic area and less Doctors: Patient ratio, there is a gap in health-care delivery...
Mobile-cloud offloading mechanisms delegate heavy mobile computation to the cloud. In real life use, the energy tradeoff of computing the task locally or sending the input data and the code of the task to the cloud is often negative, especially with popular communication intensive jobs like social-networking, gaming, and emailing. We design and build a working implementation of CDroid, a system that...
Today Internet is the most widely used medium for accessing the information. On the internet, many websites are available for providing the information and also most of the services are getting Online such banking, insurance, shopping etc. These services providing websites requires the strong authentication. Multiple authentication methods have been developed such smart card based system, one time...
