Self-dressing in classical and quantum electrodynamics

2003

A short review is presented of the theory of dressed states in nonrelativistic QED, encompassing fully and partially dressed states in atomic physics. This leads to the concept of the reconstruction of the cloud of virtual photons and of self-dressing. Finally some recent results on the classical counterpart of self-dressing are discussed and a comparison is made with the QED case. Attention is drawn to open problems and future lines of research are briefly outlined.

Achieving Intelligent Traffic-aware Consolidation of Virtual Machines in a Data Center Using Learning Automata

2016

Cloud Computing (CC) is becoming increasingly pertinent and popular. A natural consequence of this is that many modern-day data centers experience very high internal traffic within the data centers themselves. The VMs with high mutual traffic often end up being far apart in the data center network, forcing them to communicate over unnecessarily long distances. The consequent traffic bottlenecks negatively affect both the performance of the application and the network in its entirety, posing nontrivial challenges for the administrators of these cloudbased data centers. The problem can, quite naturally, be compartmentalized into two phases which follow each other. First of all, the VMs are co…

New novel idea for Cloud Computing: How can we use Kalman filter in security of Cloud Computing

2012

Cloud is a virtual image about some amount of undefined powers, that is widespread and had unknown power and inexact amount of hardware and software configurations, and because of we have not any information about clouds location and time dimensions and also the amounts of its sources we tell that Cloud Computing. This technology presents lots of abilities and opportunities such as processing power, storage and accessing it from everywhere, supporting, working - team group - with the latest versions of software and etc., by the means of internet. On the other hand, in such a large scale networks we should consider the reliability and powerfulness of such networks in facing with events such …

On achieving intelligent traffic-aware consolidation of virtual machines in a data center using Learning Automata

2018

Unlike the computational mechanisms of the past many decades, that involved individual (extremely powerful) computers or clusters of machines, cloud computing (CC) is becoming increasingly pertinent and popular. Computing resources such as CPU and storage are becoming cheaper, and the servers themselves are becoming more powerful. This enables clouds to host more virtual machines (VMs). A natural consequence ofthis is that many modern-day data centers experience very high internaltraffic within the data centers themselves. This is, of course, due to the occurrence of servers that belong to the same tenant, communicating between themselves. The problem is accentuated when the VM deployment t…

Creating a sustainable digital infrastructure: The role of service-oriented architecture

2021

Abstract The United Nations’ goal of generating sustainable industry, innovation, and infrastructure is the point of departure for our reflective paper. The paper elaborates on the concepts of digital infrastructure, service-oriented architecture, and microservices. It emphasizes the benefits and challenges of creating a sustainable infrastructure based on a service-oriented environment, in which cloud services constitute an important part. We outline the prerequisites for obtaining a sustainable digital infrastructure based on services. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and recently, microservice architecture, and cloud services, can provide organizations with the improved agility and fl…

The Reprocessed Proba-V Collection 2: Product Validation

2021

With the objective to improve data quality in terms of cloud detection, absolute radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction, the PRoject for On-Board Autonomy-Vegetation (PROBA-V) data archive (October 2013 - June 2020) will be reprocessed to Collection 2 (C2). The product validation is organized in three phases and focuses on the intercomparison with PROBA-V Collection 1 (C1), but also consistency analysis with SPOT-VGT, Sentinel-3 SYN-VGT, Terra-MODIS and METOP-AVHRR is foreseen. First preliminary results show the better performance of cloud and snow/ice masking, and indicate that statistical consistency between PROBA-V C2 and C1 are in line with expectations. PROBA-V C2 data are …

Energy Efficient Optimization for Computation Offloading in Fog Computing System

2017

In this paper, we investigate the energy efficient computation offloading scheme in a multi-user fog computing system. We consider the users need to make the decision on whether to offload the tasks to the fog node nearby, based on the energy consumption and delay constraint. In particular, we utilize queuing theory to bring a thorough study on the energy consumption and execution delay of the offloading process. Two queuing models are applied respectively to model the execution processes at the mobile device (MD) and fog node. Based on the theoretical analysis, an energy efficient optimization problem is formulated with the objective to minimize the energy consumption subjects to execution…

Cloud Computing Vulnerabilities Analysis

2019

Nowadays cloud computing technologies are the most widely used tools due to their great flexibility and also to their lower maintenance costs. Many vendors of cloud computing have appeared on the market for each type of cloud. These solutions still pose certain vulnerabilities and work to improve the security of cloud computing technologies. We analyze the main cloud computing solutions, analyze the vulnerabilities identified for these solutions, and also calculate the impact of these vulnerabilities based on the NVD scores. We average the scores for each solution for each cloud computing model. This way, we can see the impact of the vulnerabilities identified so far for each cloud computin…

Optimizing and comparing gap-filling techniques using simulated NDVI time series from remotely sensed global data

2019

Abstract NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) time series usually suffer from remaining cloud presence, even after data pre-processing. To address this issue, numerous gap-filling (or reconstruction) techniques have been developed in the literature, although their comparison has mainly been local to regional, with only two global studies to date, and has led to sometimes contradictory results. This study builds on these different comparisons, by testing different parameterizations for five NDVI temporal profile reconstruction techniques, namely HANTS (Harmonic Analysis of Time Series), IDR (iterative Interpolation for Data Reconstruction), Savitzky-Golay, Asymmetric Gaussian and Do…
