The use of cloud applications is becoming increasingly popular due to their scalability and cost advantages. However, companies need help in adopting cloud applications due to their internal policies and compliance requirements. Trust and security are crucial factors that influence the adoption...

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...

Health information technology (HIT) systems including electronic health records (EHRs) have a market saturation nearing 92% at individual institutions but are still unsuited for cross-institutional collaboration of stakeholders (e.g., medical providers such as physicians, hospitals, clinics,...

Cloud software service is a modality for providing computer facilities and deploying software via the Internet. The concept combines Cloud Computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Cloud computing represents a contextual shift in how computers are provisioned and accessed....

The proposed techniques for wireless environments during the last decade have limited support for dynamically changing environments. Due to its nature, the mobile computing environment is extremely dynamic and subject to rapid and unpredictable changes. Similarly, the characteristics of mobile...

The evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly contributed to the development of the sensing enterprise concept and to the use of appropriate information systems for real-time processing of sensor data that are able to provide meaningful insights about potential problems in a...

This article provides a proof-of-concept of the applicability and reusability of the authors proposed framework for web service migration through a traffic jam detection case study. The framework migrates mobile hosted web services between mobile vehicles using context-aware self-adaptive...

As the energy efficiency remains a key issue in wireless sensor networks, duty-cycled mechanisms acquired much interest due to their ability to reduce energy consumption by allowing sensor nodes to switch to the sleeping state whenever possible. The challenging task is to authorize a sensor node...

Purpose This paper aims to address privacy concerns that arise from the use of mobile recommender systems when processing contextual information relating to the user. Mobile recommender systems aim to solve the information overload problem by recommending products or services to users of Web...
