The need for calculating actions has been emerged everywhere and in any time, by advancing of information technology. Cloud computing is the latest response to such needs. Prominent popularity has recently been created for Cloud computing systems. Increasing cloud efficiency is an important subject of consideration. Heterogeneity and diversity among different resources and requests of users in ...

The main objective of this study is to determine the factors influencing the cloud computing adoption by Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). Based on two dominant theories in the field of diffusion of innovation, a conceptual model is proposed. In order to test the model empirically, an online survey was designed and launched. Decision makers of 50 SMEs agreed to participate in this surv...

Cloud computing is a result of the continuing progress made in the areas of hardware, technologies related to the Internet, distributed computing and automated management. The Increasing demand has led to an increase in services resulting in the establishment of large-scale computing and data centers, in addition to high operating costs and huge amounts of electrical power consumption. Insuffic...

We explore the importance of magnetic-field-oriented thermal conduction in the interaction of supernova remnant (SNR) shocks with radiative gas clouds and in determining the mass and energy exchange between the clouds and the hot surrounding medium. We perform 2.5D MHD simulations of a shock impacting on an isolated gas cloud, including anisotropic thermal conduction and radiative cooling; we c...

Cloud computing is a recent computing paradigm that represents a fundamental change of information commu- nication technology (ICT) services and Cloud services continue to grow rapidly with increasing functionality and more users. As a result of this growth, it is a critical issue to select a suitable Cloud service which meets all the business strategies and the objectives of firms. This paper ...

We study the problem of inferring the type of a networked device in a home network by leveraging low level traffic activity indicators seen at commodity home gateways. We analyze a dataset of detailed device network activity obtained from 240 subscriber homes of a large European ISP and extract a number of traffic and spatial fingerprints for individual devices. We develop a two level taxonomy ...

We present the Temporal Logic Synthesis Format (TLSF), a high-level format to describe synthesis problems via Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). The format builds upon standard LTL, but additionally allows to use high-level constructs, such as sets and functions, to provide a compact and human-readable representation. Furthermore, the format allows to identify parameters of a specification such that ...

 In recent years, mobile networks have faced with the increase of traffic demand. By emerging mobile applications and cloud computing, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has been introduced. In this research, we focus on the 4th and 5th generation of mobile networks. Data Centers (DCs) are connected to each other by high-speed links in order to minimize delay and energy consumption. By considering a ...
