Fog-to-cloud computing has now become a new cutting-edge technique along with the rapid popularity of Internet Things (IoT). Unlike traditional cloud computing, fog-to-cloud needs more entities to participate in, including mobile sinks and fog nodes except for service provider (CSP). Hence, integrity auditing in storage will also be different from that storage. In recent work Tian et al., they ...

Cloud computing brings a number of advantages to consumers in terms of accessibility and elasticity. It is based on centralization of resources that possess huge processing power and storage capacities. Fog computing, in contrast, is pushing the frontier of computing away from centralized nodes to the edge of a network, to enable computing at the source of the data. On the other hand, Jungle co...

This note describes a numerically stable version of the improved Mellor–Yamada (M–Y) Level-3 model proposed by Nakanishi and Niino [Nakanishi, M. and Niino, H.: 2004, Boundary-Layer Meteorol. 112, 1–31] and demonstrates its application to a regional prediction of advection fog. In order to ensure the realizability for the improved M–Y Level-3 model and its numerical stability, restrictions are ...

Fog computing aims at extending the Cloud by bringing computational power, storage and communication capabilities to the edge of the network, in support of the Internet of Things (IoT). Segmentation, distribution and adaptive deployment of services over the continuum from Things to Cloud are challenging tasks, due to the intrinsic heterogeneity, hierarchical structure and worldwide scale infras...

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) and the rapid development of communicationand computation technologies are one of the main next generation wireless networks which are envisaged to be an integration of homogeneous and heterogeneous wireless networks. Although VANETs are deployed in reality offering several services, a seamless handover mechanism with negligible handover delay is required to m...

Rapid increase in number and diversity of Internet-connected devices raises many challenges for the traditional network architecture, which is not designed to support a high level of scalability, real-time data delivery and mobility. To address these issues, in this paper we present a new model of Internet of Things architecture which combines benefits of two emerging technologies: software-def...

Cloud computing is an amazing technology that uses an internet and central remote server to maintain data in different applications .This technology allows delivery of computing resources over the internet. Cloud offers scalability, availability, elasticity and multitenancy.The most fundamental issue in cloud computing is virtualization .Virtualization is a technique which allows to run multipl...

Fog (from core to edge) computing is a newly emerging computing platform, which utilizes a large number of network devices at the edge of a network to provide ubiquitous computing, thus having great development potential. However, the issue of security poses an important challenge for fog computing. In particular, the Internet of Things (IoT) that constitutes the fog computing platform is cruci...
