Abstract The development of the Next-Generation Wireless Network (NGWN) is becoming a reality. To conduct specialized processes more, rapid network deployment has become essential. Methodologies like Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networks (SDN), and cloud computing will be crucial in addressing various challenges that 5G networks will face, particularly adaptability, scalability, and reliability. The motivation behind this work is to confirm the function of virtualization and the capabilities offered by various virtualization platforms, including hypervisors, clouds, and containers, which will serve as a guide to dealing with the stimulating environment of 5G. This is particularly crucial when implementing network operations at… More >

Abstract In the smart city paradigm, the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) services and solutions requires extensive communication and computing resources to place and process IoT applications in real time, which consumes a lot of energy and increases operational costs. Usually, IoT applications are placed in the cloud to provide high-quality services and scalable resources. However, the existing cloud-based approach should consider the above constraints to efficiently place and process IoT applications. In this paper, an efficient optimization approach for placing IoT applications in a multi-layer fog-cloud environment is proposed using a mathematical model (Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP)). This approach… More >

Abstract Promoting the co-constructing and sharing of organizational knowledge and improving organizational performance have always been the core research subject of knowledge management. Existing research focuses on the construction of knowledge management systems and knowledge sharing and transfer mechanisms. With the rapid development and application of cloud computing and big data technology, knowledge management is faced with many problems, such as how to combine with the new generation of information technology, how to achieve integration with organizational business processes, and so on. To solve such problems, this paper proposes a reciprocal collaborative knowledge management model (RCKM model) based on cloud computing… More >

Abstract Nowadays, smart electricity grids are managed through advanced tools and techniques. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and network technology helps to control the energy demand. These advanced technologies can resolve common issues such as blackouts, optimal energy generation costs, and peak-hours congestion. In this paper, the residential energy demand has been investigated and optimized to enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) to consumers. The energy consumption is distributed throughout the day to fulfill the demand in peak hours. Therefore, an Edge-Cloud computing-based model is proposed to schedule the energy demand with reward-based energy consumption. This model gives priority to… More >

Abstract Cloud computing offers numerous web-based services. The adoption of many Cloud applications has been hindered by concerns about data security and privacy. Cloud service providers’ access to private information raises more security issues. In addition, Cloud computing is incompatible with several industries, including finance and government. Public-key cryptography is frequently cited as a significant advancement in cryptography. In contrast, the Digital Envelope that will be used combines symmetric and asymmetric methods to secure sensitive data. This study aims to design a Digital Envelope for distributed Cloud-based large data security using public-key cryptography. Through strategic design, the hybrid Envelope model adequately… More >

Abstract The cloud allows clients to store and share data. Depending on the user’s needs, it is imperative to design an effective access control plan to share the information only with approved users. The user loses control of their data when the data is outsourced to the cloud. Therefore, access control mechanisms will become a significant challenging problem. The Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is an essential solution in which the user can control data access. CP-ABE encrypts the data under a limited access policy after the user sets some access policies. The user can decrypt the data if they satisfy the… More >

Abstract Advancements in cloud computing and virtualization technologies have revolutionized Enterprise Application Development with innovative ways to design and develop complex systems. Microservices Architecture is one of the recent techniques in which Enterprise Systems can be developed as fine-grained smaller components and deployed independently. This methodology brings numerous benefits like scalability, resilience, flexibility in development, faster time to market, etc. and the advantages; Microservices bring some challenges too. Multiple microservices need to be invoked one by one as a chain. In most applications, more than one chain of microservices runs in parallel to complete a particular requirement To complete a user’s… More >

Abstract Cloud storage is essential for managing user data to store and retrieve from the distributed data centre. The storage service is distributed as pay a service for accessing the size to collect the data. Due to the massive amount of data stored in the data centre containing similar information and file structures remaining in multi-copy, duplication leads to increase storage space. The potential deduplication system doesn’t make efficient data reduction because of inaccuracy in finding similar data analysis. It creates a complex nature to increase the storage consumption under cost. To resolve this problem, this paper proposes an efficient storage… More >

Abstract The reliability and availability of cloud systems have become major concerns of service providers, brokers, and end-users. Therefore, studying fault-tolerance mechanisms in cloud computing attracts intense attention in industry and academia. The task-scheduling mechanisms can improve the fault-tolerance level of cloud systems. A task-scheduling mechanism distributes tasks to a group of instances to be executed. Much work has been undertaken in this direction to improve the overall outcome of cloud computing, such as improving service quality and reducing power consumption. However, little work on task scheduling has studied the problem of lost tasks from the broker’s perspective. Task loss can… More >
