Nowadays sophisticated vehicles can become autonomous e-government service providers by viewing them as “G-Cloud computing” nodes. By using web services technologies vehicles can offer e-government cloud computing services.

Today’s cloud platforms are missing out on the revolution in new hardware and network technologies for realising vastly richer computation, communication, and storage solutions. Technologies such as FPGAs and GPGPUs, programmable network routers, general‐purpose middleboxes and solid‐state disks bring new degrees of freedom to resource allocation and optimisation. However, their heterogeneity a...

Recent research foresees the advent of a new discipline of agent-based cloud computing systems on the Future Internet, which would provide processing and memory resources for agents and intelligent cloud services at unprecedented scale. In this paper we discuss the role of argumentation on the next generation of agreement technologies in cloud computing environments and provide an example appli...

We have used the Montage image mosaic engine to investigate the cost and perfonnance of processing images on the Amazon EC2 cloud, and to infonn the requirements that higher-level products impose on provenance management technologies. We will present a detailed comparison of the perfonnance of Montage on the cloud and on the Abe high perfomlance cluster at the ational Center for Supercomputing ...

-Cloud computing has been the emerging technology in the recent years and computing has shifted it base to the clouds taking the world of computing to cloud computing. This paper surveys some of the recent technologies used in the cloud computing. We present the methodologies used and the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods proposed.

The advancement of various computer technologies has led to the migration of traditional governance to e-governance that enables the citizens to access the government services through Internet. Although, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) act as backbone for e-governance in helping the government meet its citizens’ needs through efficient service delivery, e-governance lacks the c...

E-learning systems need to improve its infrastructure, which can devote the required computation and storage resources for e-learning systems. Microsoft cloud computing technologies although in their early stages have managed to change the way applications are going to be developed and accessed. The objective of the paper is to combine various technologies to design architecture which describe ...

Today, growing datasets require new technologies as standard technologies — such as parallel DBMSs — do not easily scale to such level. On the one side, there is the MapReduce paradigm allowing non-expert users to easily define large distributed jobs. On the other side, there is Cloud Computing providing a pay-as-you-go infrastructure for such computations. This PhD project aims at improving th...

As the cloud technologies are largely studied and mobile technologies are evolving, new directions for development of mobile learning tools deployed on cloud are proposed.. MLearning is treated as part of the ubiquitous learning paradigm and is a pervasive extension of E-Learning technologies. Development of such learning tools requires specific development strategies for an effective abstracti...

Cloud computing is one of the emerging technologies. The cloud environment is a large open distributed system. It is important to preserve the data, as well as, privacy of users. Access Control methods ensure that authorized user’s access the data and the system. This paper discusses various features of attribute based access control mechanism, suitable for cloud computing environment. It leads...
