Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm of large-scale distributed computing. Cloud computing provides customers/users scalability, flexibility for their applications by providing collection of interconnected and virtualized servers. But as the requirement for cloud increases, so increase the consumption of huge amounts of electrical energy, contributing to high operational costs Green Ho...

Cloud storage services are increasingly used by consumers, business, and government. These services are fairly easy to obtain. Amazon Cloud Drive is a cloud-based storage that allows users to transfer files to and from multiple computers. This paper was undertaken to determine the data remnants on an Ubuntu computer. We focus on exploring the cloud activities of Amazon Cloud Drive and try to ob...

Due to the proliferation of cloud computing, cloud-based systems are becoming an increasingly attractive target for malware. In an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud, malware located in a customer’s virtual machine (VM) affects not only this customer, but may also attack the cloud infrastructure and other co-hosted customers directly. This paper presents CloudIDEA, an architecture that pr...

Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm with three main facets: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Several benefits are expected from cloud-based conferencing (e.g. efficiency in resource usage, easy introduction of new conferencing applications). This paper proposes a publication and discovery architecture for the interactions bet...

A realistic yet simple 3D cloud synthesis method is examined in this work. Our synthesis framework consists of two main components. First, by introducing a similarity approach for physics-based cumulus cloud simulation to reduce the computational complexity, we introduce a particle system for cloud modeling. Second, we adopt a voxel-based scheme to model the water phase transition effect and th...

This paper discusses the adoption of cloud computing in education. It emphasizes the view that cloud computing is vital in the education sector because of its ability to reduce the overall costs of IT infrastructure installation and maintenance, improvement of efficiency, and the sharing of IT resources among students. The flexibility of cloud computing and its reliability makes it more appropr...

Cloud computing is a large model change of computing system. It provides high scalability and flexibility among an assortment of on-demand services. To imporve the performance of the multi-cloud environment in distributed application might require less energy efficiency and minimal inter-node latency correspondingly. The major problem is that the energy efficiency of the cloud computing data ce...

Recent trend of mobile computing is emerging toward executing resource-intensive applications in mobile devices regardless of underlying resource restrictions (e.g. limited processor and energy) that necessitate imminent technologies. Prosperity of cloud computing in stationary computers breeds Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) technology that aims to augment computing and storage capabilities of mo...

Cloud Computing is an attracting technology in the field of computer science. Cloud Computing involves sharing of resources. In the event of processing many jobs, the load balancing becomes essential for efficient operation and to improve user satisfaction. This paper introduces the strategic model that performs load balancing as well as dynamic partition of the nodes of different cloud. Differ...

Reducing the time that a user has to occupy resources for completing cloud tasks can improve cloud efficiency and lower user cost. Such a time, called cloud time, consists of cloud deployment time and application running time. In this work we design jump-start cloud, under which an efficient cloud deployment scheme is proposed for minimizing cloud time. In particular, VM cloning based on disk i...
