cloud computing is a new discussion in enterprise it. it has already become popular in terms of distributed technology in some companies. it enables managers to setup and run the intended businesses by avoiding excessive spending on computers, software and hiring expert staff, which proves to be cost effective. cloud computing also helps users pay for the it services without spending massive am...

In educational institutions computing technology is facilitating a dynamic and supportive learning environment for students. In recent years, much research has involved investigating the potential of technology for use in education and terms such as personalized learning, virtual learning environments, intelligent tutoring and m-learning have brought significant advances within higher education...

OBJECTIVES Telehealth has an increasing role in future healthcare. This paper seeks to define and understand recent advances in provision of tele-healthcare through use of personal handheld computing devices, and suggests how such personalized solutions offer further opportunities for progress. METHODS We considered the current status of personal handheld computing devices for personalizing h...

Ubiquitous learning is a new educational paradigm made possible in part by the affordances of digital media. This paper sets out to explore the dimensions of this proposition. We can use new technologies to do learn old things in old ways. We can set up the ubiquitous computing devices in our contemporary world to do old-fashioned didactic teaching: the teacher or publisher puts content into a ...

The massive proliferation of affordable computers, Internet broadband connectivity and rich education content has created a global phenomenon in which information and communication technology (ICT) is being used to transform education. Therefore, there is a need to redesign the educational system to meet the needs better. The advent of computers with sophisticated software has made it possible ...

Pervasive computing has greater influence in different domains on both local and global scenarios. It is important for researchers to identify the challenges, rewards, goals, and methods of developing these technologies in different domains to fully aware of its potential. Pervasive computing would take away the boundaries in computing and ultimately, benefit the whole society. Just as a smart ...

We present our approach on how smart city technologies may enhance the learning process. We have developed the CLIO urban computing system, which invites people to share personal memories and interact the collective city memory. Various educational scenarios and activities were performed exploiting CLIO; in this paper we present the methodology we followed and the experience we gained. Learning...

Cloud computing is an evolving paradigm with tremendous momentum, but its unique attributes exacerbate security and privacy challenges. Moving computing into the “Cloud” makes computer processing much more convenient for users, but also presents them with new security problems about safety and reliability. To solve these problems, it is necessary to establish security architectures for cloud ba...

The C1 billion government drive to integrate information and communications technology (ICT) into UK schools and colleges has been "rmly focused on the technological transformation of the teaching profession. In particular, the establishment of a National Grid for Learning (NGfL) remains dependent on the successful &selling' of ICT to teachers; many of whom have previously proved unwilling to u...
