The grid computing concept has been widely used in scientific research, oil and gas fields, banking and education a few years ago. In this work, we adopt the idea of grid computing but bring it to mobile and ubiquitous devices instead of traditional computers. Therefore, we propose a new concept: Mist Computing. Mist computing complements cloud computing where computing is performed far away, in the 'cloud'. Similar research conducted by Chu [5] extends an implementation of grid computing to mobile and ubiquitous devices and addresses some limitation problems mobile and ubiquitous devices introduce, such as limited resource and limited battery life. In our definition, mist means that the emphasis of computing and interaction takes place at the edges of the cloud, therefore it extends the cloud computing to peer-to-peer direction. In our research, mobile devices such as smart phones are used as the devices for data gathering of real processes as well as processing environments for the augmented processes.

As the technology developing, everything becomes computable. And when people realizing the importance of the Internet of Things, more and more data is collected. Analyzing such amount of data becomes a big challenge for modern people. As a very important component of our life, internet becomes indispensable. Data sharing between multiple users becomes more popular. It seems our life will stop if without the internet. The user devices becomes much lighter, most computing and data storage are separated with remote operations. Distributed system becomes more and more useful for our life.

Smartphone usage continues to soar as more and more users rely on their devices to perform routine tasks. This lets law enforcement agencies use location services to learn more about criminal activities; in addition, if you were injured, your cell phone would be able to automatically report your location to authorities. However, not all companies track their users for the sole person of bettering the greater good. Major technology companies such as Apple, Google, and Android take advantage of all those using their phones to stay connected and “on the grid”. The Web grid lets these companies track your routine activities so they can sell the analyzed information back to advertisers who will then customize their advertisements to target you specifically. In 2011, The Wall Street Journal discovered that Apple and Google were collecting personal and private location data on their iPhones or Android users. While Apple transmits your location back to central services every 12 hours, Google is capable of transmitting your location and
IBM says that the problem is because of the rapid expansion of information and technology we as humans cannot keep up with the increase. Access to information is becoming rampant through the creation of wireless and handheld devices. These devices need a standard of production and connection to provide the greatest effect. IBM’s solution is a computer network that is “flexible, accessible, and transparent.” (The Solution, IBM Research) The system will...
Cloud is the result of a decade research in the field of distributing computing , utility computing, virtualization , grid computing and more recently software, network services and web technology which is changeable evolution on demanding technology and services also as looking to the rapid growth of cloud computing which have changed the global computing infrastructure as well as the concept of computing resources toward cloud infrastructure. The important and interest of cloud computing increasing day by day and this technology receives more and more attention in the world (Jain, 2014) the mostly widely used definition of cloud computing is introduced by NIST “as a model for enabling a convenient on demand network access
Peer-to-peer is a communications model in which each party has the same capabilities and either party can initiate a communication session. Other models with which it might be contrasted include the client/server model and the master/slave model. In some cases, peer-to-peer communications is implemented by giving each communication node both server and client capabilities. In recent usage, peer-to-peer has come to describe applications in which users can use the Internet to exchange files with each other directly or through a mediating server.

Cloud computing is sort of like the first computers come full circle – in the early days of computing, users at terminals with no computing power to speak of made use of the number-crunching capabilities of mainframes in a shared fashion – in fact, the model of computer use was called “time-sharing.” As the personal computer grew in power and capabilities while also becoming a cheap...
Over the past several years the term cloud computing has become common in homes and organizations alike. Cloud computing can be defined as a pooled set of computing resources that are furnished via the internet. There are three types of cloud services typically available, these services are Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Organizations can benefit greatly from cloud services because they eliminate the need to buy and manage physical resources. Although such an action cuts cost it leaves organization victim to the vulnerabilities and threats that exist in cloud computing. Throughout this paper I will discuss the vulnerabilities and threats that come along with the adoption of cloud computing. In addition, I will discuss standards and policies that effectively manage the risk associated with cloud computing.
The world exists where people no longer wear just clothes, but a person wears a watch or a shirt that is always functioning and require a minimum of the wearer’s attention. Laptops are no longer need because with wearable computer on him why needs of a lab top. MIThril’s vision of this project is to provide our gifted society with a better way to computing. Laptops are the thing of the past; wearable computer is the step to the future.
Evolution of cloud computing over the past few years is potentially one of the major advances in the history of computing. Many computing applications are general-purpose in nature, and therefore offer tremendous economies of scale if their supply can be consolidated (Marston, Li, Bandyopadhyay, Zhang, & Ghalsasi, 2011).
We live in a world that can’t live without binary code anymore. Computers have pervaded so deep in our lives that they are now being called ubiquitous. With phenomenal increase in users, has come a phenomenal increase in data. We generate a vast amount of data through activities on our computing devices making it necessary to employ intelligent algorithms which enable the system to learn from and analyze this vast dataset. Fortunately, the advent of Distributed Computing has created avenues to access virtually limitless computing power even through mobile devices thus, allowing us to use highly complex and large scale algorithms. However, with all this power under the hood, it is important to make the computers as usable and receptive to users as possible. I believe this interdisciplinary paradigm will have far reaching impact on industries, governments as well as our daily lives which is why I am so interested in research concerning Information Management and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Human Computer Interaction, and Mobile and Internet Computing.
When they wanted to save photos online instead of on your personal computer, they are able to use “cloud computing” service. Cloud computing means that the transfer of computing data or information over the internet. Not just to keep data in your personal computer, they are able to save the data on internet server to open their data in any computer. In this report we will walk through about what is cloud computing, what kinds of model did cloud computing have, types of cloud computing, benefits of cloud computing, and security.
The author gives an example of a conference room wherein different devices like projectors, computers, etc. can be added and disconnected from a computer system that handles all operations of the room. The computer will need to shutdown in order to install software updates and additional features. A possible scenario wherein such a computer never shuts down and continues to perform is ideal. This will allow systems to harmonize impeccably into human environment and achieve ‘embodied virtuality’. The author also mentions an alternative approach where micro-kernel operating systems [1] accommodate the dynamic needs of pervasive computing. Another suggestion by the author is to change the protocols used by operating systems to interact with applications. [1]
Cloud computing is a type of computing that depends on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal device to handle applications.
