Cloud computing continues to emerge as a subject of substantial industrial and academic interest. Although the meaning and scope of “cloud computing” continues to be debated, the current notion of clouds blurs the distinctions between grid services, web services, and data centers, among other areas. Clouds also bring considerations of lowering the cost for relatively bursty applications to the fore. Cloud Computing: Principles, Systems and Applications is an essential reference/guide that provides thorough and timely examination of the services, interfaces and types of applications that can be executed on cloud-based systems. The book identifies and highlights state-of-the-art techniques...
Steve Halprin is no different than most college-educated, corporate professionals--a loyal employee of a prestigious computer and information technology giant that rewards loyalty with lifetime employment. Or different from most married men--faithful husband, reliable provider. Seduced by the promise of a better life, Steve follows in the footsteps of his shrewd best friend, negotiating a job transfer away from the snowy winters of Upstate New York to the temperate climate of North Carolina's affluent, high-tech Research Triangle. Barely relocated, his better life begins to unravel, first with the news of his wife's sudden life-threatening illness, then in his chance infatuation with a beautiful, elusive co-worker while his enviable work life and the career satisfaction he has taken for granted crumble around him. But the crush of his losses empowers him to pursue the only thing that matters--one distant hope of reclaiming his life.
Peer-to-peer networking is a disruptive technology for large scale distributed app- cations that has recently gained wide interest due to the successes of peer-to-peer (P2P) content sharing, media streaming, and telephony applications. There are a large range of other applications under development or being proposed. The - derlying architectures share features such as decentralizaton, sharing of end system resources, autonomy, virtualization, and self-organization. These features constitute the P2P paradigm. This handbook broadly addresses a large cross-section of c- rent research and state-of-the-art reports on the nature of this paradigm from a large number of experts in the ?eld. Several ...

In this work, an extension of the federated averaging algorithm, FedAvg-Gaussian, is applied to train probabilistic neural networks. The performance advantage of probabilistic prediction models is demonstrated and it is shown that federated learning can improve driving range prediction. Using probabilistic predictions, routing and charge planning based on destination attainability can be applied. Furthermore, it is shown that probabilistic predictions lead to reduced travel time.
Cloud Computing has grown popular as a new prototype for providing services over the Internet. This introductory textbook on Cloud Computing is suitable for undergraduate students of computer science engineering, and for postgraduate students of computer science and computer applications. It teaches both the basic concepts and cloud technologies by adopting a straightforward approach of presenting theoretical concepts and cloud models. Several Cloud providers of distinct types are discussed here with their advantages and disadvantages. Different cloud services are also covered in this book. The book advances on the cloud architecture and cloud examples that are latest in market. Salient Features Clear and concise explanations Discussion on cloud models with diagrams In-depth analysis of various cloud architectures Numerous case studies Several questions from previous question papers
Security concerns around the rapid growth and variety of devices that are controlled and managed over the Internet is an immediate potential threat to all who own or use them. This book examines the issues surrounding these problems, vulnerabilities, what can be done to solve the problems, investigating the roots of the problems and how programming and attention to good security practice can combat the threats today that are a result of lax security processes on the Internet of Things, cloud computing and social media.
