Cloud computing has grown in its application and prevalence through the years, providing resources that would have otherwise limited use. Building upon the success of conventional cloud computing, the concept of vehicular clouds was introduced. Vehicular clouds rely on groups of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication, and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically al...Show More
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) refers to a network of vehicles with the ability to exchange information and diverse resources such as computational capacity, storage, and bandwidth among drivers. The resources within the vehicular cloud can also be disseminated throughout the network as requested services, giving users the ability to access and employ them as necessary. VCC is still a new technol...Show More
Small and micro-sized businesses are the backbone of the American economy, accounting for over 90% of all businesses and employing nearly half of the private workforce. However, they are also disproportionately vulnerable to economic shocks. The data reveals that small and micro-sized businesses in America suffered some of the most severe impacts during the recent COVID-2019 pandemic. Boosting the...Show More
Roughly a decade ago, inspired by the phenomenal success of cloud computing, a group of researchers have defined Vehicular Clouds as a group of vehicles whose sensing, communication, and computing resources can be coordinated and allocated to authorized users. While both conventional and Vehicular Clouds are instances of utility computing, a number of important characteristics set vehicular clouds...Show More
Delivering quality food promptly and in a culturally-appropriate fashion to those experiencing food insecurity is one of the important unsolved challenges faced by local governments. The main focus and stated goal of this short paper is to suggest two market-based approaches that local governments can adopt in order to enhance the quality of food delivery to meet the needs of citizens experiencing...Show More
Disasters, natural and man-made alike, are a serious threat to our nation by taking a heavy toll in human lives and property, by destroying the public infrastructure and production capacity, by interrupting supply lines, and by stalling economic activity. Many of these emergencies including earthquakes, chemical (HAZMAT) spills, and the like are unplanned events. Once they occur, it is very challe...Show More
Vehicular Clouds are inherited from the cloud computing concept. Vehicles standing in a parking lot can corporate computing, sensing, communication, and physical resources. Vehicular Clouds were motivated by the realization that present- day vehicles are equipped with powerful onboard computers, powerful transceivers, and an impressive array of sensing devices. As it turns out, most of the time, t...Show More
The past eight years have seen the emergence of vehicular clouds as a topic of research in its own right. Vehicular clouds were inspired by the insight that present-day vehicles feature an impressive array of on-board compute, storage and sensing capabilities. These on-board capabilities are a vast untapped resource that, at the moment, is wasted. One of the defining ways in which vehicular clouds...Show More
Motivated by the success of cloud computing, vehicular clouds were introduced as a group of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication, and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically allocated to authorized users. Our main contribution is to offer an easy-to-compute approximation of job completion time in a dynamic vehicular cloud model involving vehicles on a highway. W...Show More
Vehicular Clouds (VC) was inspired by the realization that the current vehicles are endowed with powerful sensing devices, storage, and computing resources and these resources are often underutilized. In this paper, we provide the reasoning for a communication protocol for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications in Vehicular Cloud Computing systems. We first explain the structure of the pro...Show More
The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) and adoption of smart cities create opportunities for creative and efficient management and utilization of the available resources. One of the characteristics of smart cities is the interconnectivity of the city's infrastructure, which allows data to be transferred between vehicles, infrastructures and road side units. Future vehicles with powerful on-board com...Show More
In this paper we discuss the "Cloud Computing" architecture, services and benefits for electronic and mobile learning. A cloud computing service can have ubiquitous access through mobile devices and applications provided by cloud service providers. Cloud computing has many benefits in education, (e.g. providing educational resource storage and databases, e-mails, educational applications and tools...Show More
This article mainly focuses on the characteristic, technologies and applications of cloud computing in mobile and electronic learning, and analyzes the features of this concept. We firstly tried to clarify the meaning of cloud computing as well as its features, secondly, proposed different models of using cloud computing in different learning environments, including web-based learning, mobile vide...Show More
