Mobile service and wearable devices have become a new hotspot in recent year. People also pay more attention to the problem of e-health. Cardiovascular disease is a kind of serious disease that jeopardizes the health and life of human beings which has been widespread concern by academic and practice researchers. But the automated monitoring and prevention of heart disease, cardiovascular disease and...
This paper describes an Internet Of Things-based wearable system for physical rehabilitation monitoring and characterization. The system is recording movement data with 3-axial accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. Data recorded by the sensors are used for characterization of movement, thus allowing for monitoring and estimation of the patients' state at all times. Main three parts of the system are:...
Cloud computing has enabled many applications to dynamically accommodate their resources in response to variations in their workloads. Elastic scaling is implemented mostly via reactive techniques that are slow to respond and may induce service degradation during the adaptation period. To avoid those pitfalls, proactive techniques have emerged as an alternative. However, these are typically limited...
Despite the great benefits of cloud computing on businesses, some organizations have had to withdraw from its service due to incomplete compliance to conditions from standards, bodies, or Service Level Agreements which have led to their being penalized. A structured and efficient model is helpful to aid small and medium scale enterprises (SMSEs) utilize cloud services safely and ascertain their fitting...
Recently, research related to medical robots received considerable attention due to an increase in aging population. However, most of the existing approaches for designing medical robots have drawbacks in terms of lacking mobility, real-time monitoring of health conditions and emotional response. In this paper, we present a design for a cloud-assisted medical robot with mobility, which can remotely...
The remote monitoring and control of machines are essential in industrial environments. Emerging communication technologies such as Web of Things and Machine to Machine Communication can meet this demand for automation in Industry 4.0. This paper aims to introduce a solution for continuous and remote monitoring of electrical quantities in smart industrial environments with three-phase systems. The...
This contribution shows how rationalized energy consumption can be achieved using user-oriented mobile application. It is undoubtable that energy efficiency improvement is one of the most important targets to be achieved on every society as a whole and in power system in particular. With the advent of smart grids, residential end users are expected to shift from their passive role as consumers of...
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a personal area wireless network technology that is of increasing importance for emerging Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. By design, BLE supports short-range, single-hop communication between a pair of BLE devices. As such, native BLE does not allow network-based policy control or in-network functions for service enhancement. These limitations are impediments to...
The absence of real time energy consumption information (RTECI) has often made electricity users in many developing countries to be at loggerheads with their service providers. A cloud based metering infrastructure is developed as a viable solution. This paper offers basic information regarding cloud based advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for analysis in extended smart green energy management...
In view of the development of the computer network and the vehicle networking technology in the field of transportation, the traffic data which need to be processed in the practical application is explosive. ARM-Linux was proposed based on cloud computing hadoop platform real-time monitoring remote terminal in the big scheme of data analysis and calculation, Hadoop is facing big data computing, open...
Green building plays an important role in the development of the construction industry. The key issue of green building is how to operate itself. This paper presents a building management cloud platform for green buildings. Its goal is to realize building operation management by using the technologies of cloud computing and Internet of things. The cloud servers provide data storage, computing and...
In this paper, we present AnomalyDetect, an approach for detecting anomalies in cloud services. A cloud service consists of a set of interacting applications/processes running on one or more interconnected virtual machines. AnomalyDetect uses the Kalman Filter as the basis for predicting the states of virtual machines running cloud services. It uses the cloud service's virtual machine historical data...
This paper evaluates a mechanism for applying machine learning (ML) to identify over-constrained IaaS virtual machines (VMs). Herein, over-constrained VMs are defined as those who are not given sufficient system resources to meet their workload specific objective functions. To validate our approach, a variety of workload-specific benchmarks inspired by common Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud...
As demands on new software increase, new approaches are needed to help developers ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for their offered service. In this paper we present a QoS modeling approach that complements and extends the standard microservice and component-based software engineering tools by giving the software engineer information on what Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) and quality constraints...
The current management techniques of large scale cloud systems are inefficient, and lead to high operational costs. In this paper, we present a cross-layer management framework that overcomes the current IT management challenges of cloud systems and their applications. The proposed framework monitors and performs holistic analysis of the cloud system resource utilization from the physical layer, the...
Virtualization technologies allow cloud providers to optimize server utilization and cost by co-locating services in as few servers as possible. Studies have shown how applications in multi-tenant environments are susceptible to systems anomalies such as abnormal resource usage due to performance interference. Effective detection of such anomalies requires techniques that can adapt autonomously with...
In Infrastructure as a Service clouds, customers lease virtual resources (e.g., CPU, memory, network) offered by cloud providers, paying for the allocated capacity of resources, regardless of their effective use. In this context, it is in the interest of the customers to reserve resources with sufficient capacity so that their applications achieve good performance while, at the same time, minimizing...
The quality of service is one of challenges posed by the Cloud Computing. This issue plays an important role in making the Cloud services acceptable to customers, denotes the levels of performance, reliability, and availability offered by Cloud services. Literature has reported many implementations for measuring and ensuring QoS in Cloud Computing systems to achieve better results and meet the needs...
Health issues are rising progressively due to the ignorance of health monitoring on regular basis which can now be looked after by the fast growing communication technologies and smart devices. In this paper, a robust healthcare model is proposed for continuous monitoring of the patient even when the patient is traveling. Sensitive data is collected from the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors connected...
Nowadays the adoption of IoT solutions is gaining high momentum in several fields, including energy, home and environment monitoring, transportation, and manufacturing. However, cybersecurity attacks to low-cost end-user devices can severely undermine the expected deployment of IoT solutions in a broad range of scenarios. To face these challenges, emerging software-based networking features can introduce...
