Ubiquitous Cloud Computing has been recently proposed as a new hybrid computing model. This paradigm has two aspects: (a) Making use of cloud services to realize context-awareness (especially for mobile phones) and (b) Introducing a new and hybrid computing model. Likewise, this paper mainly...

Honeypots act as an easy target for attackers but it is actually a “decoy” in which attacker is trapped. It is a defensive technique which lures the attacker into performing some illicit operations on it and subsequently using it to trace the activities of attacker, generating signatures and...

This article presents a new framework named ANDROSCANREG (Android Permissions Scan Registry) that allows to extract and analyze the requested permissions in an Android application via a decentralized and distributed system. This framework is based on the emerging technology Blockchain whose...

Infrastructure-as-a-service is a cloud service model that allows customers to outsource computing resources such as servers and storage. This article evaluates four IaaS cloud services - Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine and Rackspace Cloud in a vendor-neutral approach with...

The purpose of this article is to develop a cloud computing adoption scale for Indian manufacturing, service, and process Industries. The scale development procedure has been followed from the previous studies and is refined further for clear understanding to adopt easily. In the first step, we...

Energy saving in a Cloud Computing environment is a multidimensional challenge, which can directly decrease the in-use costs and carbon dioxide emission, while raising the system consistency. The process of maximizing the cloud computing resource utilization which brings many benefits such as...

Many hospitals have been built for people in silver age and these hospitals want to set various remote health care systems for the old people who are living in a place far from these hospitals. The systems processes are connected with each other and with networks as well. These systems handle...

Medical image information can be exchanged remotely through cloud-based medical imaging services. Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) is considered to be the most commonly used medical image format among hospitals. The objective of this article is to enhance the secure transfer...

A MapReduce design with Cellular Automata (CA) is presented in this research article to facilitate load-reduced independent data processing and cost-efficient physical implementation in heterogeneous Cloud architecture. Equal Length Cellular Automata (ELCA) are considered for the design. This...

This article describes how a major risk factor in the deployment of patient health records systems in the cloud is the security and privacy of data. Hybrid cloud solutions have been proposed that leverage the public and private cloud deployment to manage and alleviate accessibility, access...
