This paper discusses our work with the design and implementation of real-time face recognition for cloud robot. Face recognition has been widely used for surveillance and airport security. Robot systems which support face recognition are available too. As for robots, real-time feedbacks from sensors are always required. In order to recognize a face in real time, the images captured by camera ha...

Cloud computing is delivery of services rather than a product and among different cloud deployment models, the public cloud provides improved scalability and cost reduction when compared to others. Security and privacy of data is one of the key factors in transitioning to cloud. Typically the cloud providers have a demilitarized zone protecting the data center along with a reverse proxy setup. ...

Cloud computing has firmly installed itself as a highly evolved concept for hosting and providing hardware and software resources across networks and the Internet. With rapidly emerging markets, cloud service providers have come up against a significant hurdle. Aspiring to remain firmly competitive in the long run, cloud service providers have realized that maintaining energy efficient controls...

Over the next decade, cloud computing has a good chance of becoming a widely used technology. However, many challenges face the cloud to be overcome before the average user or business team will trust their vital information with a cloud server. Most of these challenges tie into developing sound security measures for the cloud. One of the largest security obstacles is how to defend against a De...

The term “Smart grid” can be described as the next generation electric power system. The metering data should be continuosly examined for valid testing and this is one of the challenge for our smart grid. In this paper we analyze the problem of supporting multidimensional range queries on encrypted metering data. The problem is motivated by the applications of secure data outsourcing where a re...

Cloud-based speech recognition systems enhance Web surfing, transportation, health care, etc. For example, using voice commands helps drivers search the Internet without affecting traffic safety risks. User frustration with network traffic problems can affect the usability of these applications. The performance of these type of applications should be robust in difficult network conditions. We e...

Cloud computing depends on the dynamic allocation and release of resources, demand, to meet heterogeneous needs. This is challenging for cloud data centers, which process huge amounts characterised by its high volume, velocity, variety veracity (4Vs model). Managing such a workload increasingly difficult using state-of-the-art methods monitoring adaptation, typically react service failures afte...
