To tackle this problem, this paper puts forward a deployment scheme of virtual machines for campus cloud platform, defines the course requirement model and the physical machine load model, and proposes a virtual machine deployment algorithm. This scheme can adapt to the characteristics of teaching applications such as periodicity, predictability, and batch, and achieve the purpose of energy saving and load balancing. Experiments show that the scheme can effectively reduce power consumption and achieve load balancing.","PeriodicalId":206490,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115100878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To minimize the energy consumption on the mobile device and the cloud, we propose a general optimization framework based on the characteristic of applications. Particularly, for delay-sensitive applications, we formulate a delay-constrained optimization problem, in order to reduce the energy consumption on the mobile device while meeting the time constraint. For delay-tolerant applications, we formulate a stability-constrained optimization problem, in order to reduce the energy consumption in the cloud while satisfying the queue stability. Based on the optimization framework, we present the offloading policy of typical mobile applications that are computation intensive, including video transcoding, object recognition, image retrieval and virus scanning. The proposed offloading policy can reduce the energy consumption on mobile devices and the cloud, which provides guidelines for the design of green mobile cloud.","PeriodicalId":206490,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126479530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The volume of the data produced by various services around a person is fairly large. However, in the service-centric paradigm, these data are distributed in the clouds of different service providers and these clouds are mutually isolated, but there lacks of a global view of the service data related to a specific person, limiting the collaboration between various services. To overcome this deficiency, we propose a user-centric paradigm for personal data management, called \"Personal Data Cloud\" (PDC), which is a SaaS application storing a user's data from different services in a centralized way. A key issue in PDC is how to collect personal data from distributed services and store them in a unified form. In this paper we present three ways of collecting personal data, namely open API based, web crawler based, and manual importation based ways. To deal with the semantics unification among the collected data, we adopt Linked Data and ontology techniques for semantic annotation. Some open APIs are designed for the PDC to facilitate the access and usage of the personal data from a portal or apps on mobile terminals.","PeriodicalId":206490,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132974916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the tendency for achieving good quality, not only on the quality focus of products, Taiwan's companies paid much attention to quality system certification. Achieving the ISO 9001 quality management system certificate become the first priority for the quality level recognition of those companies. During the certification process of the ISO 9000 QMS, the auditors played an important role. Therefore, their personality traits may affect the result of certification, and customer's satisfaction level. In this research, by applying questionnaire analysis, we tried to review ISO 9001 QMS auditors' personality traits from customers' viewpoints. A questionnaire with 15 questions was used to collect the data, both from \"importance expectation\" and \"perceived experience\" sides, from Taiwan's ISO 9001 QMS certificated companies. There're 77 valid responded questionnaires in our research. From Cronbach's coefficient, the dimensions design of our questionnaire was verified and had both good reliability and validity. By applying paired-t test under 95% confidence interval for all 15 questions, only question number 8 (Under the pressure of work, auditors can effectively cope with) showed no significant difference. From which we can find the common existing gaps between \"importance expectation\" and \"perceived experience\" for audited companies. Also, a model for ISO 9000 QMS auditors' personality traits was proposed. All 4 factors with grouped questions were \"interpersonal relationship and interaction\" with question 5, 3, 4, 9, \"self-discipline and growth\" with question 11, 15, 12, 14, 13, \"stick-to and focus\" with question 6, 10, 7, 8, \"integrity and objectivity\" with question 1, 2. Results from analysis of those questionnaires can provided as a reference base for the certification organizations for their auditors' qualification definition and training purposes.","PeriodicalId":206490,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123007602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the system, the distributed file system in bottom layer queries data through distributed hashing, while the MapReduce system in upper layer invoke and schedule the tasks by distributed notification mechanism.
