Literature review revealed application of various techniques for efficient use of existing resources in road transport sector vehicles, operators and related facilities. This issue assumes bigger dimensions in situations where there are multiple routes and the demand in the routes is highly fluctuating over the day. The application of the existing techniques as reported in literature addresses ...

Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...

Today, one of the biggest problems that gripped the banking sphere, the high cost of implementing advanced technologies and the efficient use of the hardware. Cloud computing is the use of shared services on the Internet provides a large role in developing the banking system, without the need for operating expenses including staffing, equipment, hardware and software Reducing the cost of implem...

Despite the rapid advances in mobile technology, many constraints still prohibit smartphones to run resource-demanding applications in pervasive environments. Emerging cloud computing opens an access to unlimited resources for mobile devices. However, the combination of both technologies to deliver sound mobile cloud applications and services raises new challenges and requirements. Based on a s...

A promising technique to provide mobile applications with high computation resources is to offload the processing task to the cloud. Mobile cloud computing enables mobile devices with limited batteries to run resource hungry applications with the help of abundant processing capabilities of the clouds and to save power. However, it is not always true that cloud computing consumes less energy com...

The growth of mobile applications due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and ubiquity of wireless access has fueled cloud computing to converge into mobile cloud. The intrinsic storage, processing and battery power constraints of mobile devices can be solved by adopting unlimited storage and computing power offered by cloud servers and turn the issues into a favorable opportunity for m...

Recently there are new trends in the way we use computers and access networks due to advanced mobile devices and network technologies. One of trend is cloud computing where resources are stored and processed on network. The other is Mobile computing, where mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets combines network connectivity, mobility, and software functionality and working as personal ...

Resource provisioning is a critical concern for mobile users as they have less capability in providing high battery, bandwidth and memory. Mobile cloud computing provides a solution to this problem as it brings all cloud services to mobile users and mobile service providers. This paper discusses different issues in resource provisioning so as to manage the usage of applications effectively by m...

With the continuous development of science and technology, the intelligent development of community system becomes a trend. Meanwhile, smart mobile devices and cloud computing technology are increasingly used in intelligent information systems; however, smart mobile devices such as smartphone and smart pad, also known as thin clients, limited by either their capacities (CPU, memory or battery) ...

− Energy consumption of massive scale mobile cloud data centers is increasing unacceptably. It is the most challenging field of concern these days. So there is a need to improve the energy efficiency of such data centers using server consolidation which aims at minimizing the number of active physical machines in a data center. As the analysis has shown that by applying suitable optimization po...
