A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone‚ cell phone‚ and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over aradio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator‚ allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast‚ a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single‚ private base station. In addition to telephony‚ modern mobile phones also support a wide variety

Part A: Cloud Computing What is cloud computing? Cloud computing allows people to log into a web based service which hosts applications‚ programs or document. Imagine your job at a big corporation is to make sure every single computer in the company has the right software to work. Buying applications and programs for every single computer can be costly. Cloud computing solves that problem. You’d only have to install one application to ensure the employees can access to the “cloud”. The “cloud”

Main technology characteristics The following five characteristics of cloud computing are created by the Gartner Group‚ according to Plummer‚ et al. (2009) and Mell and Grance (2009)‚ and have a summariz-ing purpose for applying cloud computing in general (cited in Mora‚ 2009). Service based – The technology is service-oriented‚ thus abstracting the con-cerns of the consumer with the concerns of the providers (Mora‚ 2009). The ser-vices are provisioned automatically without human interaction

CLOUD COMPUTING RESEARCH WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING 1. Definition There are many definitions of cloud computing due to its fast development and vast number of research papers associated with it. A definition from the NIST Working Definition of Cloud Computing published by the U.S.Government’s National Institute of Standards and Technology is “Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous‚ convenient‚ on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g.‚ networks

Abstract Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The goals are similar to green chemistry; that is reduce the use of hazardous materials‚ maximize energy efficiency during the product ’s lifetime‚ and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Taking into consideration the popular use of information technology industry‚ it has to lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever done before

Cloud computing From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Cloud computing logical diagram Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of acloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user ’s data‚ software and computation. There are many

parallel computing technology. Trends in commercial and scientific applications are merging as commercial applications perform more sophisticated computations and scientific applications become more data intensive. Today‚ a lot of parallel programming languages and compilers‚ based on dependencies detected in source code‚ are able to automatically split a program into multiple processes and/or threads to be executed concurrently on the available processors from a parallel system. Parallel computing is

Grid Designing Abstract: In an increasing number of scientific disciplines‚ large data collections are emerging as important community resources. Grid computing has emerged as an important new field‚ distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing‚ innovative applications‚ and‚ in some cases‚ high performance orientation. The foundation of a grid solution design is typically built upon an existing infrastructure investment. However‚ a grid
