The progressing global digitalization is driving innovative network technologies, computation platforms, and data-driven services. The number of components such as sensors, actuators, computing, storage, and network nodes, as well as a variety of service applications increases a…
Este projeto tem como objetivo desenvolver uma Prova de Conceito (PDC), para dar resposta às necessidades espaciais de georreferenciação de uma câmara municipal. Uma instituição deste género necessita recorrentemente de gestão de recursos no seu território, resolução de ocorrênc…
A quarta revolução industrial, mais conhecida como Indústria 4.0, pretende transformar as uni-dades industriais em organizações mais eficientes e produtivas, através da implementação de várias tecnologias baseadas no digital e nos sistemas inteligentes. O impacto em toda a cadei…
In this thesis we present the architecture, design, and prototype implementation details of AppFabric. AppFabric is a next generation application delivery platform for easily creating, managing and controlling massively distributed and very dynamic application deployments that m…
This thesis considers information leakage in cloud virtually isolated networks. Virtual Network (VN) Isolation is a core element of cloud security yet research literature shows that no experimental work, to date, has been conducted to test, discover and evaluate VN isolation dat…
The cloud computing paradigm introduces an efficient utilisation of huge computing resources by multiple users with minimal expense and deployment effort compared to traditional computing facilities. Although cloud computing has incredible benefits, some governments and enterpri…
Recent years have witnessed a surge in demand for infrastructure and services to cover high demands on processing big chunks of data and applications resulting in a mega Cloud Datacenter. A datacenter is of high complexity with increasing difficulties to identify, allocate effic…
A network based commercial broadcasting system transmits high definition multimedia files from a central location of an organization to any desired site regardless of geographical location. This is a significant topic because this technology provides the management of an organiz…
Functioning of biological objects is not merely a problem of physics and chemistry; it is in essence a problem of the organization of control, which involves a huge amount of information processing. Statistical analysis of structural sequences of biological macromolecules: DNA a…
The recent transition to "cloud computing" is changing the way people store and use digital data. Data is more often stored remotely (on a cloud server) and accessed by very weak devices over the internet (e.g. smartphones). In addition to storage, the cloud is expected to manip…
The area of Future Internet research focuses on developing a new network with similar magnitude as today's Internet but with more demanding and complex design goals and specifications. It strives to solve the issues identified in today's Internet, by capitalizing on the advantag…
Scenarios exist in the era of Big Data where computational analysis needs to utilize widely distributed and remote compute clusters, especially when the data sources are sensitive or extremely large, and thus unable to move. A large dataset in Malaysia could be ecologically sens…
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms are in need to modify their business models to exploit available opportunities by the increasing role of knowledge management and information technology in the global economy. This thesis will propose business models for AE…
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is one of the cloud computing services for offering virtual operating systems to clients. The rave over cloud computing services is due to its obvious advantages compared to traditional network services. Those advantages include: high computational p…
Building responsive cloud applications is critical to ensuring a compelling user experience. While cloud computing promises to deliver IT services at a lower cost and increased scalability, meeting the strict requirements on response time for performance-sensitive applications i…
Cloud computing offers the advantage of on-demand, reliable and cost efficient computing solutions without the capital investment and management resources to build and maintain in-house data centers and network infrastructures. Scalability of cloud solutions enable consumers to …
The adoption of cloud computing technology is increasing day by day due to its enormous services and low cost. Customers transfer their businesses to cloud because of the beneficial cloud features such as scalability, high performance, on-demand, and pay-per-use service model. H…
As Cloud services become more commonplace, recent works have uncovered vulnerabilities unique to such systems. Specifically, the paradigm promotes a risk of information leakage across virtual machine isolation via side-channels. Unlike conventional computing, the infrastructure …
This study addressed issues associated with the cloud services adoption processes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Edo state of Nigeria need to secure their business operations. The research interviews conducted face-to-face with IT and operational management wit…
