It increases the safety of roads and passengers. Millions of people lose their precious lives in accidents yearly, millions are injured, and others incur disability daily. Emergency vehicles need clear roads to reach their destination faster to save lives. Video streaming can be more effective as compared to textual messages and warnings. To address this issue, we proposed a methodology to use visual sensors, cameras, and OBU to record emergency videos. Initially, the frames are detected. After re-recording, the frames detection algorithm detects the specific event from the video frames. Blockchain encrypts an emergency or specific event using hashing algorithms in the second layer of our proposed framework. In the third layer of the proposed methodology, encrypted video is broadcast with the help of 5G wireless technology to the connected nodes in the VANET. The dataset used in this research comprises up to 72 video sequences averaging about 120 seconds per video. All videos have different traffic conditions and vehicles. The ResNet-50 model is used for the feature extraction process of extracted frames. The model is trained using Tensorflow and Keras deep learning models. The Elbow method finds the optimal K number for the K Means model. This data is split into training and testing. 70% is reserved for training the support vector machine (SVM) model and test datasets, while 30%. 98% accuracy is achieved with 98% precision and 99% recall as results for the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180540","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}

Although encryption is a viable solution for safeguarding outsourced data, applying it to OLAP queries involving multidimensional data, measures, and Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) operations on encrypted data poses difficulties. Existing searchable encryption solutions are inadequate for handling such complex queries, which complicates the use of business intelligence tools that rely on efficient and secure data processing and analysis.This paper proposes a new privacy-preserving cloud data warehouse scheme called SSF-CDW which facilitates a secure and scalable solution for an encrypted cloud data warehouse. Our SSF-CDW improves the OLAP queries accessible only to authorized users who can decrypt the query results with improved query performance compared to traditional OLAP tools. The approach involves utilizing symmetric encryption and Ciphertext Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) to protect the privacy of the dimension and fact data modeled in Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP). To support efficient OLAP query execution, we proposed a new data cube retrieval mechanism using a Redis schema which is an in-memory database. This technique dynamically compiles queries by disassembling them down into multiple levels and consolidates the results mapped to the corresponding encrypted data cube. The caching of dimensional and fact data associated with the encrypted cube is also implemented to improve the speed of frequently queried data. Experimental comparisons between our proposed indexed search strategy and other indexing schemes demonstrate that our approach surpasses alternative techniques in terms of search speed for both ad-hoc and repeated OLAP queries, all while preserving the privacy of the query results.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180539","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 challenges of offloading task is how to meet multiple requirement while keeping energy-saving. We classify tasks in the medical mobile device into two kinds: the first is the task that hopes to be executed as soon as possible, those tasks always have a deadline; the second is the task that can be executed anytime and always has no deadlines. Past work always neglects the energy consumption when the medical mobile device is charged. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first paper that focuses on the energy efficiency of charging from a power grid to a medical device during work. By considering the energy consumption in different locations, the energy efficiency during working and energy transmission, the available energy of and the battery, we propose a scheduling method based on DQN.

The significance of this research comes in the fact that it has the ability to completely change the healthcare system by relocating computing resources closer to the data source, hence facilitating more rapid and accurate analysis of medical data. Latency, privacy concerns, and inability to scale are common in traditional cloud-centric techniques. With their ability to process data close to where it is created, edge and fog computing have the potential to revolutionize medical analysis. The healthcare industry has unique opportunities and problems for the application of edge and fog computing. There must be an emphasis on data security and privacy, workload flexibility, interoperability, resource optimization, and data integration without any interruptions. In this research, it is suggested the Adaptive Heuristic Edge assisted Fog Computing design (AHE-FCD) to solve these issues using a novel architecture meant to improve medical analysis. Together, edge devices and fog nodes may perform distributed data processing and analytics with the help of AHE-FCD. Heuristic algorithms are often employed for optimization issues that establishing an optimum solution using standard approaches is difficult and impossible. Heuristic algorithms utilize search algorithms to explore the search space and identify a result. Improved patient care, medical research, and healthcare process efficiency are all possible to AHE-FCD real-time, low-latency analysis at the edge and fog layers. Improved medical analysis with minimal latency, high reliability, and data privacy are all likely to emerge from the study’s findings. As a result, rather from being centralized, operations in a sophisticated distributed system occur at several end points. That helps the situation quicker to detect possible dangers prior to propagate across the network. The AHE-FCD is a promising breakthrough that moves us closer to the realization of advanced medical analysis systems, where prompt and well-informed decision-making is essential to providing excellent healthcare.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141949329","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}

This research introduces a hybrid methodology integrating deep learning with Cybertwin-driven resource allocation to enhance energy-efficient workload offloading and resource management in MEC networks. Offloading work is essential in MEC networks since several applications require significant resources. The Cybertwin-driven approach considers user mobility, virtualization, processing power, load migrations, and resource demand as crucial elements in the decision-making process for offloading. The model optimizes job allocation between on-premises and distant execution using a task-offloading strategy to reduce the operating burden on the MEC network. The model uses a hybrid partitioning approach and a cost function to optimize resource allocation efficiently. This cost function accounts for energy consumption and service delays associated with job assignment, execution, and fulfilment. The model calculates the cost of several segmentation and offloading procedures and chooses the lowest cost to enhance energy efficiency and performance. The approach employs a deep learning architecture called “CNN-LSTM-TL” to accomplish energy-efficient task offloading, utilizing pre-trained transfer learning models. Batch normalization is used to speed up model training and improve its robustness. The model is trained and assessed using an extensive mobile edge computing public dataset. The experimental findings confirm the efficacy of the proposed methodology, indicating a 20% decrease in energy usage compared to conventional methods while achieving comparable or superior performance levels. Simulation studies emphasize the advantages of incorporating Cybertwin-driven insights into resource allocation and workload-offloading techniques. This research enhances energy-efficient and resource-aware MEC networks by incorporating Cybertwin-driven techniques.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141884643","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}

But the security has become the most development hinder of BCoT. Attack detection model is a crucial part of attack revelation mechanism for BCoT. As a consequence, attack detection model has received more concerned. Due to the great diversity and variation of network attacks aiming to BCoT, tradition attack detection models are not suitable for BCoT. In this paper, we propose a novel attack detection model for BCoT, denoted as cVAE-DML. The novel model is based on contrastive variational autoencoder (cVAE) and deep metric learning (DML). By training the cVAE, the proposed model generates private features for attack traffic information as well as shared features between attack traffic information and normal traffic information. Based on those generated features, the proposed model can generate representative new samples to balance the training dataset. At last, the decoder of cVAE is connected to the deep metric learning network to detect attack aiming to BCoT. The efficiency of cVAE-DML is verified using the CIC-IDS 2017 dataset and CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset. The results show that cVAE-DML can improve attack detection efficiency even under the condition of unbalanced samples.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141884474","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}

Although there are efforts to integrate various workloads into Kubernetes, the most widely used container platform today, the nature of containers makes it challenging to support persistence for memory-centric workloads like in-memory databases. In this paper, we discuss the drawbacks of one of the persistence support methods used for in-memory databases in a Kubernetes environment, namely, the data snapshot. To address these issues, we propose a compromise solution of using container checkpoints. Through this approach, we can perform checkpointing without incurring additional memory usage due to CoW, which is a problem in fork-based data snapshots during snapshot creation. Additionally, container checkpointing induces up to 7.1 times less downtime compared to the main process-based data snapshot. Furthermore, during database recovery, it is possible to achieve up to 11.3 times faster recovery compared to the data snapshot method.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141781365","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 network systems transmit diverse and heterogeneous data in dispersed environments as communication technology develops. The communications using these networks and daily interactions depend on network security systems to provide secure and reliable information. On the other hand, attackers have increased their efforts to render systems on networks susceptible. An efficient intrusion detection system is essential since technological advancements embark on new kinds of attacks and security limitations. This paper implements a hybrid model for Intrusion Detection (ID) with Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to tackle these limitations. The proposed model makes use of Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) for feature extraction and then combines each of these with long short-term memory networks (LSTM) for classification. Four benchmark datasets CIC IDS 2017, UNSW NB15, NSL KDD, and WSN DS were used to train the model for binary and multi-class classification. With the increase in feature dimensions, current intrusion detection systems have trouble identifying new threats due to low test accuracy scores. To narrow down each dataset’s feature space, XGBoost, and CNN feature selection algorithms are used in this work for each separate model. The experimental findings demonstrate a high detection rate and good accuracy with a relatively low False Acceptance Rate (FAR) to prove the usefulness of the proposed hybrid model.","PeriodicalId":501257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cloud Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141720232","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}

Leveraging rough sets and AI, this paper provides an innovative strategy based on Q-learning that is designed for migration decisions. The highlight of our strategy is the harmonious mechanism for applying rough sets and Q-learning. For the ABDS (adaptive boundary decision system) strategy in this paper, the exploration space of Q learning is confined by the boundary region of rough sets, while the thresholds of the boundary region can be dynamically adjusted by the reaction results from the computing cluster. The structure and mechanism of the ABDS strategy are described in this paper. The corresponding experiments show a firm advantage for the cooperation of rough sets and reinforcement learning algorithms.
