We present robust dynamic resource allocation mechanisms to allocate application resources meeting Service Level Objectives (SLOs) agreed between cloud providers and customers. In fact, two filter-based controllers, i.e., $\mathcal {H}_{\infty }$ filter Maximum Correntropy Criterion Kalman (MCC-KF), are proposed. The control...

Provisioners capture items both for delivery and for self-feeding. In doing so, they may travel directly to and from a single location, visit several patches on each excursion from a delivery point, or alternate excursions to different destinations. Prey suitable for self-feeding versus delivery have differing attributes, which means that they are often best sought in different places. Visiting...

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...

For many years mobile devices were commonly recognized as Web consumers. However, the advancements in mobile device manufacturing, coupled with the latest achievements in wireless communication developments are both key enablers for shifting the role of mobile devices from service consumers to service providers. This paradigm shift is a major step towards the realization of pervasive and ubiqui...
