Abstract Intelligent Space (IS) is widely regarded as a promising paradigm for improving quality of life through using service task processing. As the field matures, various state-of-the-art IS architectures have been proposed. Most of the IS architectures designed for service robots face the problems of fixed-function modules and low scalability when performing service tasks. To this end, we propose a hybrid cloud service robot architecture based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Specifically, we first use the distributed deployment of functional modules to solve the problem of high computing resource occupancy. Then, the Socket communication interface layer… More >

Abstract In the smart city paradigm, the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) services and solutions requires extensive communication and computing resources to place and process IoT applications in real time, which consumes a lot of energy and increases operational costs. Usually, IoT applications are placed in the cloud to provide high-quality services and scalable resources. However, the existing cloud-based approach should consider the above constraints to efficiently place and process IoT applications. In this paper, an efficient optimization approach for placing IoT applications in a multi-layer fog-cloud environment is proposed using a mathematical model (Mixed-Integer… More >

Abstract Cloud computing belongs to a set of policies, protocols, technologies through which one can access shared resources such as storage, applications, networks, and services at relatively low cost. Despite the tremendous advantages of cloud computing, one big threat which must be taken care of is data security in the cloud. There are a dozen of threats that we are being exposed to while availing cloud services. Insufficient identity and access management, insecure interfaces and Applications interfaces (APIs), hijacking, advanced persistent threats, data threats, and many more are certain security issues with the cloud platform. APIs… More >

Abstract In the current era, anyone can freely access the Internet thanks to the development of information and communication technology. The cloud is attracting attention due to its ability to meet continuous user demands for resources. Additionally, Cloud is effective for systems with large data flow such as the Internet of Things (IoT) systems and Smart Cities. Nonetheless, the use of traditional networking technology in the cloud causes network traffic overload and network security problems. Therefore, the cloud requires efficient networking technology to solve the existing challenges. In this paper, we propose one-time password-based software-defined cloud… More >

Abstract As technology improves, several modernization efforts are taken in the process of teaching and learning. An effective education system should maintain global connectivity, federate security and deliver self-access to its services. The cloud computing services transform the current education system to an advanced one. There exist several tools and services to make teaching and learning more interesting. In the higher education system, the data flow and basic operations are almost the same. These systems need to access cloud-based applications and services for their operational advancement and flexibility. Architecting a suitable cloud-based education system will leverage… More >
