Cloud Based Application Development for Accessing Restaurant Information on Mobile Device using LBS
Over the past couple of years, the extent of the services provided on the
mobile devices has increased rapidly. A special class of service among them is
the Location Based Service(LBS) which depends on the geographical position of
the user to provide services to the end users. However, a mobile device is
still resource constrained, and some applications usually demand more resources
than a mobile device can a ord. To alleviate this, a mobile device should get
resources from an external source. One of such sources is cloud computing
platforms. We can predict that the mobile area will take on a boom with the
advent of this new concept. The aim of this paper is to exchange messages
between user and location service provider in mobile device accessing the cloud
by minimizing cost, data storage and processing power. Our main goal is to
provide dynamic location-based service and increase the information retrieve
accuracy especially on the limited mobile screen by accessing cloud
application. In this paper we present location based restaurant information
retrieval system and we have developed our application in Android.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Towards Semantic Detection of Smells in Cloud Infrastructure Code
Automated deployment and management of Cloud applications relies on
descriptions of their deployment topologies, often referred to as
Infrastructure Code. As the complexity of applications and their deployment
models increases, developers inadvertently introduce software smells to such
code specifications, for instance, violations of good coding practices, modular
structure, and more. This paper presents a knowledge-driven approach enabling
developers to identify the aforementioned smells in deployment descriptions. We
detect smells with SPARQL-based rules over pattern-based OWL 2 knowledge graphs
capturing deployment models. We show the feasibility of our approach with a
prototype and three case studies.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures. The 10 th International Conference on Web

Microservice-based Reference Architecture for Semantics-aware Measurement Systems
Cloud technologies have become more important than ever with the rising need for scalable
and distributed software systems. A pattern that is used in many such systems is a
microservice-based architecture (MSA). MSAs have become a blueprint for many large
companies and big software systems. In many scientific fields like energy and environmental
informatics, efficient and scalable software systems with a primary focus on measurement
data are a core requirement. Nowadays, there are many ways to solve research questions
using data-driven approaches. Most of them have a need for large amounts of measurement
data and according metadata. However, many measurement systems still follow deprecated
guidelines such as monolithic architectures, classic relational database principles and are
missing semantic awareness and interpretation of data. These problems and the resulting
requirements are tackled by the introduction of a reference architecture with a focus on
measurement systems that utilizes the principles of microservices.
The thesis first presents the systematic design of the reference architecture by using the
principles of Domain-driven Design (DDD). This process ensures that the reference architecture
is defined in a modular and sustainable way in contrast to complex monolithic
software systems. An extensive scientific analysis leads to the core parts of the concept
consisting of the data management and semantics for measurement systems. Different data
services define a concept for managing measurement data, according meta data and master
data describing the business objects of the application implemented by using the reference
architecture. Further concepts allow the reference architecture to define a way for the system
to understand and interpret the data using semantic information. Lastly, the introduction of
a frontend framework for dashboard applications represents an example for visualizing the
data managed by the microservices
Recent advances in industrial wireless sensor networks towards efficient management in IoT
With the accelerated development of Internet-of- Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks (WSN) are gaining importance in the continued advancement of information and communication technologies, and have been connected and integrated with Internet in vast industrial applications. However, given the fact that most wireless sensor devices are resource constrained and operate on batteries, the communication overhead and power consumption are therefore important issues for wireless sensor networks design. In order to efficiently manage these wireless sensor devices in a unified manner, the industrial authorities should be able to provide a network infrastructure supporting various WSN applications and services that facilitate the management of sensor-equipped real-world entities. This paper presents an overview of industrial ecosystem, technical architecture, industrial device management standards and our latest research activity in developing a WSN management system. The key approach to enable efficient and reliable management of WSN within such an infrastructure is a cross layer design of lightweight and cloud-based RESTful web service
Middleware Technologies for Cloud of Things - a survey
The next wave of communication and applications rely on the new services
provided by Internet of Things which is becoming an important aspect in human
and machines future. The IoT services are a key solution for providing smart
environments in homes, buildings and cities. In the era of a massive number of
connected things and objects with a high grow rate, several challenges have
been raised such as management, aggregation and storage for big produced data.
In order to tackle some of these issues, cloud computing emerged to IoT as
Cloud of Things (CoT) which provides virtually unlimited cloud services to
enhance the large scale IoT platforms. There are several factors to be
considered in design and implementation of a CoT platform. One of the most
important and challenging problems is the heterogeneity of different objects.
This problem can be addressed by deploying suitable "Middleware". Middleware
sits between things and applications that make a reliable platform for
communication among things with different interfaces, operating systems, and
architectures. The main aim of this paper is to study the middleware
technologies for CoT. Toward this end, we first present the main features and
characteristics of middlewares. Next we study different architecture styles and
service domains. Then we presents several middlewares that are suitable for CoT
based platforms and lastly a list of current challenges and issues in design of
CoT based middlewares is discussed.Comment: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352864817301268,
