Autonomic Cloud Computing: Open Challenges and Architectural Elements
As Clouds are complex, large-scale, and heterogeneous distributed systems,
management of their resources is a challenging task. They need automated and
integrated intelligent strategies for provisioning of resources to offer
services that are secure, reliable, and cost-efficient. Hence, effective
management of services becomes fundamental in software platforms that
constitute the fabric of computing Clouds. In this direction, this paper
identifies open issues in autonomic resource provisioning and presents
innovative management techniques for supporting SaaS applications hosted on
Clouds. We present a conceptual architecture and early results evidencing the
benefits of autonomic management of Clouds.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, conference keynote pape
Livelihoods and Migrants' Social Protection: An Investigation of Migration and Health in Beijing and Tianjin, North China
This paper contributes to a growing body of research on the social protection for rural-urban migrants in Chinese cities. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Beijing and Tianjin and applying an analytical framework of livelihood studies, it examines an important aspect of migrants‟ social protection, namely migrants‟ health, in particular workplace safety and occupational health. It aims at (1) delineating the current state of affairs in respect of social protection for rural migrants; (2) identifying the risks and threats to migrants‟ health as perceived by the actors involved; (3) examining the extent to which the social rights of rural migrants are recognized, and the struggles that migrants have fought for securing livelihood and realising such rights; and (4) assessing the central and local government responses to the challenges posed for mobile livelihoods and suggesting possible ways forward
Health data in cloud environments
The process of provisioning healthcare involves massive healthcare data which exists in different forms on disparate data sources and in different formats. Consequently, health information systems encounter interoperability problems at many levels. Integrating these disparate systems requires the support at all levels of a very expensive infrastructures. Cloud computing dramatically reduces the expense and complexity of managing IT systems. Business customers do not need to invest in their own costly IT infrastructure, but can delegate and deploy their services effectively to Cloud vendors and service providers. It is inevitable that electronic health records (EHRs) and healthcare-related services will be deployed on cloud platforms to reduce the cost and complexity of handling and integrating medical records while improving efficiency and accuracy. The paper presents a review of EHR including definitions, EHR file formats, structures leading to the discussion of interoperability and security issues. The paper also presents challenges that have to be addressed for realizing Cloudbased healthcare systems: data protection and big health data management. Finally, the paper presents an active data model for housing and protecting EHRs in a Cloud environment
Self Controllable Health Care Monitoring Arrangement for Patient
In this undertaking is utilized to the Condition care monitoring system. Distributed Healthcare cloud computing arrangement considerably facilitates effectual patient treatment for health consultation by allocating confidential condition data amid healthcare providers. Though, it brings concerning the trial of keeping both the data confidentiality and patients’ individuality privacy simultaneously. Countless continuing admission manipulation and nameless authentication schemes cannot be straightforwardly exploited. The arrangement acts there are provider, doctor, patient and admin.

A realização do direito à saúde por meio da Cobertura Universal de Saúde
Recognition of right to health is an essential step to work towards improvement of public health and to attain highest standard of physical and mental health of the people. Right to health in India is implicit part of right to life under Article 19 mentioned in the Constitution of India but is not recognized per se. Universal Health Coverage adopts rights based approach and principles of universality, equity, empowerment and comprehensiveness of care. The Universal Coverage Report of India makes recommendations in six identified areas to revamp the health systems in order to ensure right to health of Indians. These areas are: health financing and financial protection; health service norms; human resources for health; community participation and citizen engagement; access to medicines, vaccines and technology; management and institutional reforms. This paper attempts to determine the ways in which Universal Health Coverage can make a contribution in realizing right to health and thus human rights in developing countries.O reconhecimento do direito à saúde é um passo essencial para a promoção de avanços em termos de saúde pública e para que se alcancem elevados padrões de saúde física e mental na população. O direito à saúde na Índia é parte integrante do direito à vida, previsto no Artigo 19 da Constituição do país, mas não é reconhecido per se. A Cobertura Universal de Saúde tem como base os princípios de universalidade, equidade, empoderamento e integralidade dos cuidados em saúde. Com o objetivo de aprimorar o sistema de saúde e, assim, garantir o direito dos indianos à saúde, o Relatório sobre Cobertura Universal de Saúde na Índia faz recomendações em seis áreas: financiamento da saúde e proteção financeira; normas para os serviços de saúde; recursos humanos para a saúde; participação da comunidade e engajamento dos cidadãos; acesso a medicamentos, vacinas e tecnologia; e reforma administrativa e institucional. Este artigo tem o objetivo de delinear os caminhos pelos quais a Cobertura Universal de Saúde pode contribuir na realização do direito à saúde, e consequentemente dos direitos humanos, nos países em desenvolvimento
