Achieving net-zero carbon emissions necessitates the major transformation of electrical grids into smart grids. In this context, urban districts play a crucial role in the flexible balancing of electricity demand and supply, which involves solving ...

mmWave networks offer wide bandwidth for high-speed wireless communication but suffer from limited range and susceptibility to blockage. Existing coverage provisioning solutions not only incur high costs but also require significant expert knowledge and ...

Various software and systems engineering scenarios rely on the systematic construction of consistent graph models. However, automatically generating a diverse set of consistent graph models for complex domain specifications is challenging. First, the ...

In recent computer environments that use a wide variety of data, users need a system that can efficiently process data according to the scale and type of data. There are two types of typical computing environments: supercomputers and cloud systems. Cloud ...

With the increasing demand for information technology, CMS system has become an important application field since 2000. CMS system can bring value to enterprises. Through the management of enterprise information, it can improve the image of enterprises ...

The use of unified communication; video conferencing, audio conferencing, and instant messaging has skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, security and privacy considerations have often been neglected. This article provides a comprehensive ...

Dealing with complex user requirements and the exponential growth of cloud service providers in a dynamic environment is a challenging task. In practice, the quality of service (QoS) constitutes a crucial feature in cloud service selection (CSS). We ...

Integrating static analyses into continuous integration (CI) or continuous delivery (CD) has become the best practice for assuring code quality and security. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools fit well into CI/CD, because CI/CD allows time ...

This paper illustrates the cloud-based services on next generation smart living technology, first by providing the concept of smart technology of the next generation, followed by the wide area of application in this sector. Next, the current generation ...

Being executed in the Internet space, cloud services provide elastic computing resource to satisfy customers’ demand. Since single service usually can't suit their complex need, customers need to assemble multiple services into one service workflow ...

Frequently, a service specification cannot be understood by the service's users, especially when its function is highly complicated or specialized. This condition is referred to as hidden specification, and service users may be information poor relative ...

With the exponential growth of cloud computing services recently, several internet technologies began to require the processing of multi-criteria ranking. The collaborative filtering methods and Top_k selection computations have been proven to be more ...

Protecting software from illegal access, intentional modification or reverse engineering is an inherently difficult practical problem involving code obfuscation techniques and real-time cryptographic protection of code. In traditional systems a secure ...

We all hold stereotypes about different locations across the world. Do these stereotypes affect our attitudes toward cloud services when we are told the location of the servers storing our data? And, does it matter if the cloud services are provided by ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) becomes proliferated due to the advances in embedded devices, wireless communications, and cloud technologies. However, the security problem in the Internet will be worsened in IoT services considering the constrained ...

In recent years, Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) has emerged as the desired access control model in scenarios involving sharing of resources across multiple domains. This necessitates organizations using traditional access control models to use ...

The Agave Platform first appeared in 2011 as a pilot project for the iPlant Collaborative [11]. In its first two years, Foundation saw over 40% growth per month, supporting 1000+ clients, 600+ applications, 4 HPC systems at 3 centers across the US. It ...

Cloud computing is an emerging technology that provides services to its users via Internet. It also allows sharing of resources there by reducing cost, money and space. With the popularity of cloud and its advantages, the trend of information industry ...

Cloud systems are complex and large systems where services provided by different operators must coexist and eventually cooperate. In such a complex environment, controlling the health of both the whole environment and the individual services is ...

Abstract Nowadays quantum physics is crucial for several scientific applications, where it is no longer possible to neglect the environmental interaction, like dissipation and decoherence. In these cases, the quantum systems are usually treated as open ...
