Early cancer detection is vital to health. Early identification of breast cancer improves prognosis and survival odds by allowing for timely clinical therapy. For accurate cancer prediction, machine learning requires quick analytics and feature extraction. Cloud-based machine learning is vital for illness diagnosis in rural areas with few medical facilities. In this research, random forests, logistic regression, decision trees, and SVM are employed, and the authors assess the performance of various algorithms using confusion measures and AUROC to choose the best machine learning model for breast cancer prediction. Precision, recall, accuracy, and specificity are used to calculate results. Confusion matrix is based on predicted cases. The ML model's performance is evaluated. For simulation, the authors used the Wisconsin Dataset of Breast Cancer (WDBC). Through experiments, it can be seen that the SVM model reached 98.24% accuracy with an AUC of 0.993, while the logistic regression achieved 94.54% accuracy with an AUC of 0.998.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In such systems, smart vehicles are embedded with the onboard unit, which includes computing systems, communication devices, and storage equipment, and these vehicles are used to provide efficient traffic management and road safety. For many years, several solutions are addressed by many practitioners regarding different issues and challenges that arise in a vehicular network. One of the solutions is vehicular cloud computing (VCC). VCC is a promising technology that has created a great impact on the services and applications of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) by exploiting the vehicular resources effectively. In this paper, we present a survey on VCC, which integrates VANETs and cloud computing (CC). The basic overview and characteristics of VANETs are discussed. The architecture and several features of VCC are explored. We also discuss various privacy and security-related issues in VCC. Lastly, we focus on open issues, existing work, and future research directions.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Cloud Appl.

With this framework, large amounts of data can be analyzed and processed. It does this by distributing computing tasks between a group of virtual servers operating in the cloud or a large group of devices. The mining process forms an important bridge between data mining and business process analysis. Its techniques make it possible to extract information from event reports. The extraction process generally consists of two phases: identification or discovery and innovation or education. Our first task is to extract small patterns from the log effects. These templates represent the implementation of the tracking from a business process report file. In this step we use the available technologies. Patterns are represented by finite state automation or regular expressions. And the final model is a combination of just two different styles.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The applications of sensor cloud can be seen in forest fire monitoring, healthcare system, and other Internet-of-Things systems. Outliers may present within this data due to malicious activities, low-quality sensors, or node deployment in harsh environments. Such outliers must be detected timely for effective decision making. Many clustering-based machine learning schemes for outlier detection have been devised. However, accuracy of these techniques can be further improved. This paper proposes a density-based machine learning scheme (DBS) for outlier detection which is implemented in Python and executed on the two datasets of different forest fire monitoring networks. DBS makes density-based clusters of all data points where outliers lie in low-density region. The use of a density-based model in the proposed approach improves precision, throughput, and accuracy. DBS outperforms the existing Mean Shift and K Means based clustering schemes with maximum accuracy 98.40%.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Cloud Appl.

The dynamic virtual machine consolidation (DVMC) is then obtained by combining a modified overloaded host detection technique with a different VM selection method (i.e., minimum migration time (Mmt) and minimum utilization (Mu)). The simulation results indicate that the modified Interquartile range (Iqr) overloaded host detection algorithm outperforms the existing overloaded host detection algorithms (i.e., InterQuartile range (Iqr), local regression (Lr), and dynamic voltage frequency scale (DVFS) algorithms) in terms of EC, SLA, and the number of virtual machine (VM) migrations.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int.

To achieve this goal, hidden insight data extraction and sentiment analysis are carried out, along with the application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques. The main outcome of the study is the positive correlation between the repercussion of the Pope’s tweets and the evolution of the Covid-19 incidence in Europe.

To alleviate the effect of spot instance revocations, applications often employ different fault-tolerance mechanisms to minimize or even eliminate the lost work for each spot instance revocation. However, these fault-tolerance mechanisms incur additional overhead related to application completion time and deployment cost. This article proposes a novel cloud market-based approach for provisioning spot instances using features of cloud markets to reduce the deployment cost and completion time of applications. The simulation results show that the approach reduces the deployment cost and completion time compared to approaches based on fault-tolerance mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The resource management activities are NP-hard problems and require optimal techniques to improve resource utilization and reduce energy consumption and latency.

To define such a model, a formal definition of the JavaScript language was used and extended to include modern capabilities and custom semantics. This extended model is used to prove that the distributed shared memory can operate on top of existing and unmodified web browsers, allowing the use of any computer and smartphone as a part of the distributed system. The proposed model guarantees the eventual synchronization of data across all the system and provides the possibility to have a stricter consistency using standard http operations.","PeriodicalId":442336,"journal":{"name":"Int.
