Managing students' data is a high prioritized duty of the university administration since most of the school affairs are proceed based on that database. Universities have invested in IT assets such as servers, storage, database, and networks. However, continuing investment in IT infrastructure is impossible due to limited budget and rapid changes in the educational environment. As cloud computing diffuse, universities are trying to reduce costs and improve efficiency by increasing server utilization, unlike when physically investing. We designed a hypothetical academic information management system based on cloud computing by utilizing the advanced server virtualization technology. This administrative cloud system allows universities to improve the availability of the system with low cost. The system demonstrates its flexibility of using data resources and immediacy of resumption.

In this paper, we propose two-stage multichannel architecture for oyster product management system, called cloud stage and agent stage. There are two communication channels at each stage. In cloud stage, the embedded system in the smart scale communicates with the server through two channels, Ethernet or 3G/LTE mobile communication. In agent stage, PCs and smart phones called agents communicate with the server also through Internet and 3G/LTE mobile communication. Compared with previous system in which the amount of the oyster produced in oyster workplaces could be monitored only at the console of only one oyster main server, developed system makes it possible to monitor the amount of produced oyster at several PCs (or smart phones). In addition to the amount of oysters produced at all oyster workplaces the environment of oyster workplaces such as temperature and humidity can be monitored on agents to judge the freshness. Two-stage architecture with multiple channels makes it possible to monitor the amount of oyster product and environment of the oyster workplace at any place in real time.

With the popularity of cloud computing, many data owners outsource their graph data to the cloud for cost savings. The cloud server is not fully trusted and always wants to learn the owners' contents. To protect the information hiding, the graph data have to be encrypted before outsourcing to the cloud. The adjacent vertex search is a very common operation, many other operations can be built based on the adjacent vertex search. A boolean adjacent vertex search is an important basic operation, a query user can get the boolean search results. Due to the graph data being encrypted on the cloud server, a boolean adjacent vertex search is a quite difficult task. In this paper, we propose a solution to perform the boolean adjacent vertex search over encrypted graph data in cloud computing (BASG), which maintains the query tokens and search results privacy. We use the Gram-Schmidt algorithm and achieve the boolean expression search in our paper. We formally analyze the security of our scheme, and the query user can handily get the boolean search results by this scheme. The experiment results with a real graph data set demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme.

Cloud computing provides a broad range of services like operating systems, hardware, software and resources. Availability of these services encourages data owners to outsource their intensive computations and massive data to the cloud. However, considering the untrusted nature of cloud server, it is essential to encrypt the data before outsourcing it to the cloud. Unfortunately, this leads to a challenge when it comes to providing search functionality for encrypted data located in the cloud. To address this challenge, this paper presents a public key encryption with equality test for heterogeneous systems (PKE-ET-HS). The PKE-ET-HS scheme simulates certificateless public encryption with equality test (CLE-ET) with the identity-based encryption with equality test (IBE-ET). This scheme provides the authorized cloud server the right to actuate the equivalence of two messages having their encryptions performed under heterogeneous systems. Basing on the random oracle model, we construct the security of our proposed scheme under the bilinear Diffie-Hellman (BDH) assumption. Eventually, we evaluate the size of storage, computation complexities, and properties with other related works and illustrations indicate good performance from our scheme.

In this paper, a mobile cloud-based agent model is proposed in order to overcome the resource constraints and the difficulties of installing a variety of complex applications in mobile devices. The proposed software architecture overcomes the disadvantages of mobile devices and maximizes usage of cloud services by implementing the function of mobile agent concept. The significant portion of the cloud services is run in the cloud server and the client application implemented in the mobile device can call and control appropriate service from the cloud server. Thus, the inherent weakness of the mobile can be overcome by executing the target applications on cloud nodes.

Cloud computing refers to borrow IT resources as needed by leveraging Internet technology and pay as much as you used by supporting real-time scalability depending on the service load. Virtualization which is the main technology of cloud computing is a technology that server, storage and hardware are regarded as not separate system but one system area and are allocated as needed. However, the security mechanisms provided by virtualized environments are difficult to cope with the traditional security mechanisms, having basic levels of visibility, control and audit function, on which the server is designed to monitor the traffic between the servers. In this paper, the security vulnerabilities of virtualization are analysed in the cloud computing environment and cloud virtualization security recommendations are proposed.

In the cloud environment, users pay more attentions to their data security since all of them are stored in the cloud server. Researchers have proposed many mutual authentication schemes for the access control of the cloud server by using the smart card to protect the sensitive data. However, few of them can resist from the smart card lost problem and provide both of the forward security and the backward security. In this paper, we propose a novel authentication scheme for cloud computing which can address these problems and also provide the anonymity for the user. The trick we use is using the password, the smart card and the public key technique to protect the processes of the user's authentication and key exchange. Under the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) assumption, it is provably secure in the random oracle model. Compared with the existing smart card based authentication schemes in the cloud computing, the proposed scheme can provide better security degree.

Due to the rapid growth of mobile devices and applications, mobile cloud computing is becoming an important platform in the development of cloud services. However, the mobile cloud computing is facing many challenges in terms of the computing resources and communications. One of them is the performance issue between mobile devices and cloud server. In the paper, we implemented a hadoop-based android mobile application, called mobile TPC-C, and used it for evaluating the performance aspect between mobile devices and cloud server. The mobile TPC-C was implemented based on the existing TPC-C, to make it possible to execute on top of android mobile devices. The performance measurement using mobile TPC-C was executed on various transactions while changing the number of mobile clients. By comparing it to the evaluation on the personal PC, we tried to point out the important aspects affecting the performance improvement between mobile clients and cloud server.

There is growing interest in the use of cloud services these days because the amount of sensitive physical information related to u-fitness-based exercise management increase in explosive. However, it is possible to illegally access information stored in a cloud server, and to find out who owns the information, even, to illegally deduce an association among the information stored in its memory. The cloud server may also intentionally pass over the owner's legitimate operation requests such as modification and deletion of stored information, and may lose or damage information due to its malfunction. So, it is strongly required to solve the above problems because we can not trust the cloud server entirely. In this paper, we propose a protocol to preserve the privacy of the owner for u-Fitness-based exercise management in a cloud computing environment. And we show that our proposed architecture is applicable in real environment through security analysis and performance analysis.

This paper proposes a scalable hybrid P2P(peer-to-peer) cloud architecture for MMOGs(massively multiplayer online games) which includes load management schemes for each region. A game world is divided into several game regions and each game region is serviced by at least one peer(player) in this MMOG cloud environment. The load must be managed regionally to support smooth interactions among them even in the presence of a high concentration of players in a specific region. In the proposed architecture where an efficient and effective provisioning of resources is realized, it is suitable for players to interact with cloud servers effectively and it avoids bottlenecks of the current client-server MMOG architecture. This architecture also relieves a lot of computational power and network traffic, the load on the servers in the cloud by exploiting the capacity of the players. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid P2P cloud architecture can reduce the considerable bandwidth at the server compared to the client server architecture as the available resources grow with the number of players in crowding or hotspots.
