ABSTRACT Meeting citizens’ requirements economically and efficiently is the most important objective of Smart Cities. As a matter fact, they are considered key concept both for future Internet information communications technology. It expected that wide range services will be made available residential users (e.g. intelligent transportation systems, e‐government, e‐banking, e‐commerce smart management energy demand), public administration entities, safety civil protection agencies so on with...
Virtualization offers several benefits for optimal resource utilization over traditional non-virtualized server farms. With improvements in internetworking technologies and increase network bandwidth speeds, a new era of computing has been ushered in, that grids clouds. commercial cloud providers coming up, each with their own APIs, application description formats, varying support SLAs, vendor lock-in become serious issue end users. This article attempts to describe the problem, issues,...
In the present days of rapid adoption cloud services and varying cost models it is imperative to have a system which converts resource usage data into measurable payable cost. The should be able collect data, process against dynamically determined rate get charge for customer could billed upon. These operations need done in secured manner with appropriate authentication authorization checks. As are still evolving, rating, charging billing components at nascent stage its maturity. this paper...
Most human authentication systems have been text-based. Recent psychological studies show users' inability to recall random character sequences. Image-based shown promise in circumventing this problem. In addition, they are more intuitive and user-friendly. This paper presents analyzes a user technique using images that can be used local as well remote authentication. We also consider TEMPEST other forms of attack.
Content Distribution Networks are mandatory components of modern web architectures, with plenty vendors offering their services. Despite its maturity, new paradigms and architecture models still being developed in this area. Cloud Computing, on the other hand, is a more recent concept which has expanded extremely quickly, services regularly added to cloud management software suites such as OpenStack. The main contribution paper development an open source CDN that can be provisioned...
P2P streaming today is one of the most challenging techniques to deliver real-time on Internet. Incentive mechanisms make a crucial part algorithms in order avoid uncooperative and eliminate malicious behavior. In this paper we present monetary incentive mechanism based taxation schemes. We use model service apply idea validate quantitative effect both users' provider's welfare system. A billing QoS levels for perceived video that offers remuneration inventive cooperative users, contributes...
Testing large-scale distributed systems (also known as testing in the large) is a challenge that spreads across different technical domains and areas of expertise. Current methods tools provide some minimal guarantees relation to correctness their functional properties have serious limitations when evaluating extra-functional realistic conditions, such scalability, availability performance efficiency. Cloud more specifically "testing cloud'' has arisen tackle those challenges. In this new...
The advent of cloud computing is a new opportunity for companies to rely on highly dynamic distributed infrastructures offer services their customers. While major might prefer own the infrastructure have full control data and applications, SMEs look with interest technology since they cannot afford initial barrier cost enter market. In this perspective advantages are well known: on-demand self-service; broad network access; resource pooling optimize usage provider resources; rapid elasticity...
IP multicast is increasingly seen as efficient mode of live content distribution in the Internet to significantly large subscriber bases. Despite its numerous benefits over unicast, has not widespread deployment modern networks. Network complexity and session discovery issues have plagued since inception. The research community general agreement move SSM (Source Specific Multicast).
Modern networks are very complex. It is highly desirable to reduce management complexity in next generation network design. Researchers have been seeking inspiration natural observations help better manage the ever increasing of modern networks. Bio-inspired and cognitive shown tremendous promise towards adapting local stimuli intelligently, some extent without human intervention.In this paper, we discuss why brain an excellent model for designing smart Insights gained into macro-behavior...
In this contribution, we sketch an application of Earth System Sciences and Cloud-/Big-Data-based IT, which shall soon leverage European supercomputing facilities: smart viticulture, as put into practice by Terraview. TerraviewOS is a vineyard ``operating system'', allowing wine cultivators to optimise irrigation, harvesting dates measures against plant diseases. The system relies on satellite drone imagery well in-situ sensors where available. Clearly, processing behind the UI heavily based...
