In recent years, 3D printing technology is rising at home and abroad. More and more people are using this technology in all walks of life. However, the application development and service provision of 3D printing is still far from enough. With the development of the Internet of things, cloud computing and other emerging technologies, as well as computer and network communications technology continue...
Today home automation is quite common in developed nations. Remote access of appliances and devices in a home is provided via the internet. The challenge lies in making the system smart and deployable in a scalable manner across an entire city in a developing nation. This paper proposes a framework for making home automation achievable across a smart city in a scalable and data efficient manner. We...
Through analyzing the characteristics of the data processing in the environment of cloud computing, the author puts forward the distributed optimization storage model based on hash distribution. Based on massive amounts of data distribution, this model completed the data backup protocol based on master copy of distributed design and the Paxos distributed system protocol design on the basis of the...
In the age of Internet of Things (IoT), sensors form a foundational component of IoT services, yet they are rigid with little capability for programmable configuration or reusability as they are application-specific, manufacturer-specific. Emerging IoT applications often deploy a vast number of sensors which may serve multiple applications. Programmability is thus essential but not found in legacy...
The integration of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in civil applications have been attracted a lot of attentions in many scientific and engineering fields. Most of Multi-UAV systems have been characterized to be controlled by one Ground Control Station (GCS). However, in a case of an enormous number of UAVs with different assignments to each one or each group, one GCS cannot handle such a...
This paper presents a multi-layer distributed performance management model for Internet of Things (IoT) as a service for caregivers. Performance monitoring and control of IoT devices and services are vital functions for e-health systems. Cloud-based IoT systems with centralized data centers further underline the need for distributed management. The main contribution of this paper is a model and prototype...
With the fast development of cloud computing and online business of Internet, the importance of data center is gradually increasing. Conventional Ethernet protocols can hardly meet the scalability and performance requirements of data centers (DCs). The traditional method solves the congestion problem by reducing the network throughput. In this paper, based on software-defined networks (SDNs) technology,...
The panic among medical control, information, and device administrators is due to surmounting number of high-profile attacks on healthcare facilities. This hostile situation is going to lead the health informatics industry to cloud-hoarding of medical data, control flows, and site governance. While different healthcare enterprises opt for cloud-based solutions, it is a matter of time when fog computing...
Internet-of-Things (IoT) is emerging as one of the popular technologies influencing every aspect of human life. The IoT devices equipped with sensors are changing every domain of the world to become smarter. In particular, the majorly benifited service sectors are agriculture, industries, healthcare, control & automation, retail & logistics, and power & energy. The data generated...
It can be seen that the vision of the future networking is more focused on the things, media and services, rather than people. With the increasing importance of the Internet of Things, as well as the diversity of the objects, it is crucial to achieve the highest possible level of interoperability. This means that information exchanged needs to have the same format; in addition, data needs to be processed...
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is an new area where everyday objects are embedded with intelligence and the ability to transmit and receive information. The arrival of this emerging topic presents a pressing educational need. In this paper, a new, innovative course on IoT is presented. The pedagogical approach is to guide students in developing a conceptual “toolbox” of necessary IoT skills centered...
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...
HTTPS has become a vital component of the WWW ecosystem. However, today's application-layer middleboxes in the cloud are largely “blind” to HTTPS traffic. We propose a novel system infrastructural solution, called CloudEye, that allows middleboxes to selectively manipulate HTTPS traffic. A key design philosophy of CloudEye is to hide all the complexity from client and server applications (thus being...
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...
Outsourcing computation to cloud server has recently become popular in cloud computing. Cloud computing technologies enable clients with limited computational resources to outsource their massive computations to powerful cloud servers. Outsourcing computation has some new concerns, such as outsourced data and result privacy, verifiability and efficiency. Matrix multiplication is one of the most basic...
Despite the considerable benefits of cloud computing as an emerging technology, there are some reliability and privacy concerns such as generating and managing access policies according to sensitivity of stored data in cloud storages. The most challenging issue in current information policy models is managing security levels, mapping between access requests and defined policies and considering the...
Message Locked Encryption (MLE) provides a way to achieve deduplication of data over the cloud in a secured and efficient manner. Various cryptographic protocols that are variants of the MLE scheme have been introduced, but they are either vulnerable to poison attack or consume a large amount of bandwidth. We introduce a new client-side deduplication protocol, called DICE (Dual Integrity Convergent...
The Internet of Things (IoT) considers interconnected things e.g., devices that consumes web services through the internet. Such kind of devices may vary from smart phones, smart TVs, medical devices or industrial devices. Thanks to the development of the ICT field, many standards supports the existence of the IoT devices: HTTP (Hypertext Transferring Protocol), MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport),...
Traditional cloud stacks are designed to tolerate server or rack-level failures, that are unpredictable and uncorrelated. � Such stacks successfully deliver highly-available cloud services at global scale. The increasing criticality of cloud services to the overall world economy is causing concern about the impact of power outages, cyber-attacks, configuration errors, or other causes of datacenter...
