With the increase of tourist environment, the real-time monitoring of ecological environment has become a concern. This study mainly discusses the application of cloud computing and Internet of things in the evaluation of ecological environment quality of rural tourism areas in a smart city. In this study, the real-time monitoring of the atmosphere, water, and meteorological data is collected through the GPRS data transmission module and then sent back to the local server by the GPRS network, and the obtained non-real-time and real-time data are used to establish the ecological monitoring database, the database analysis of its information, and get real-time data, monthly data, and longer cycle data. In the cloud GIS platform, there are multiple subnodes. The split tasks can be processed by each subnode through a map, and the results after processing can be summarized through reduce, which completes the implementation process of the whole idea of map reduce. Monitoring station management is mainly to establish monitoring stations in rural tourism areas and collect first-hand environmental monitoring data by using temperature, humidity, infrared, ultrasonic, and other sensors and cameras. The monitoring objects are the air quality, water quality, meteorology, etc. of the scenic area, mainly showing the location of monitoring stations and the placement of sensors. At the same time, an LED screen is set at the monitoring station to display the air quality data of the scenic spot. The data content is introduced into the DPSIR model, combined with social and economic data; according to the ecological health grading evaluation standard, the evaluation score and health grade are obtained and the ecological health status of rural tourism area is judged and evaluated. When the amount of data is less than 500 MB, there is little difference between the storage speed of the cloud GIS platform and single machine, but with the continuous increase of the amount of data, the storage speed of the cloud GIS platform is significantly higher than that of a single machine. This study is helpful in improving the ecological environment quality of rural tourism areas.

With ubiquitous deployment of sensors and network connectivity, amounts of real-time data for embedded systems are increasing rapidly and database capability is required for many embedded systems for systematic management of real-time data. In such embedded systems, supporting the timeliness of tasks accessing databases is an important problem. However, recent multicore-based embedded architectures pose a significant challenge for such data-intensive real-time tasks since the response time of accessing data can be significantly affected by potential intercore interferences. In this paper, we propose a novel feedback control scheme that supports the timeliness of data-intensive tasks against unpredictable intercore interferences. In particular, we use multiple inputs/multiple outputs (MIMO) control method that exploits multiple control knobs, for example, CPU frequency and the Quality-of-Data (QoD) to handle highly unpredictable workloads in multicore systems. Experimental results, using actual implementation, show that the proposed approach achieves the target Quality-of-Service (QoS) goals, such as task timeliness and Quality-of-Data (QoD) while consuming less energy compared to baseline approaches.

The present day Internet traffic largely caters for the multimedia traffic throwing open new and unthinkable applications such as tele-surgery. The complexity of data transactions increases with a demand for in time and real time data transfers, demanding the limited resources of the network beyond their capabilities. It requires a prioritization of data transfers, controlled dumping of data over the network etc. To make the matter worse, the data from different origin combine together imparting long lasting detrimental features such as self similarity and long range dependency in to the traffic. The multimedia data fortunately is associated with redundancies that may be removed through efficient compression techniques. There exists a provision to control the compression or bitrates based on the availability of resources in the network. The traffic controller or shaper has to optimize the quality of the transferred multimedia data depending up on the state of the network. In this chapter, a novel traffic shaper is introduced considering the adverse properties of the network and counteract with the same.

The Internet of Things (IoT), inspired by the tremendous growth of connected heterogeneous devices, has pioneered the notion of smart city. Various components, i.e., smart transportation, smart community, smart healthcare, smart grid, etc. which are integrated within smart city architecture aims to enrich the quality of life (QoL) of urban citizens. However, real-time processing requirements and exponential data growth withhold smart city realization. Therefore, herein we propose a Big Data analytics (BDA)-embedded experimental architecture for smart cities. Two major aspects are served by the BDA-embedded smart city. Firstly, it facilitates exploitation of urban Big Data (UBD) in planning, designing, and maintaining smart cities. Secondly, it occupies BDA to manage and process voluminous UBD to enhance the quality of urban services. Three tiers of the proposed architecture are liable for data aggregation, real-time data management, and service provisioning. Moreover, offline and online data processing tasks are further expedited by integrating data normalizing and data filtering techniques to the proposed work. By analyzing authenticated datasets, we obtained the threshold values required for urban planning and city operation management. Performance metrics in terms of online and offline data processing for the proposed dual-node Hadoop cluster is obtained using aforementioned authentic datasets. Throughput and processing time analysis performed with regard to existing works guarantee the performance superiority of the proposed work. Hence, we can claim the applicability and reliability of implementing proposed BDA-embedded smart city architecture in the real world.

With the ever increasing cost of investing in technological innovations and the amount of patient data to be processed on daily basis, healthcare organizations are in dire need for solutions that could provide easy access and better management of real time data with lower cost.  The emerging trend of organizations optimizing cost in investing less on physical hardware has brought about the use of cloud computing technology in various industries including healthcare.  The use of cloud computing technology has brought better efficiency in providing real time data access, bigger storage capacity and reduction of cost in terms of maintenance. Although numerous benefits have been publicized for organizations to adopt the technology, nevertheless the rate of adoption is still at is infancy. Hence, this study explores factors that may affect the adoption of cloud-based technology particularly within the healthcare context. A quantitative study was conducted through the distribution of survey in Jordanian healthcare facilities. The survey was conducted to gauge the understanding of cloud-based EHR concepts identified through literature and validate the factors that could potentially provide an impact towards the cloud-based EHR adoption. The theoretical underpinnings of Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) were investigated in studying the impact towards the adoption of cloud-based EHR. Results indicate that Technology-Organization-Environment factors such as privacy, reliability, security, top management support, organizational readiness, competition and regulatory environment are critical factors towards the adoption of cloud technology within a healthcare setting.

The data being transferred over the supply chain has to compete with the increasing applications around the web, throwing open the challenge of meeting the constraint of in-time data transfers with the available resources. It often leads to flooding of resources, resulting in the wastage of time and loss of data. Most of the applications around the customer require real time data transfer over the web to enable right decisions. To make it happen, stringent constraints are required to be imposed on the quality of the transfer. This chapter provides the mechanism for shaping of traffic flows towards sharing the existing infrastructure.
