Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement and application of sensing technologies have become everlasting trends in the various industrial, environmental, and commercial fields. However, sensing technologies have to face many issues and challenges regarding their communications (like short communication range, security and privacy, reliability, mobility, etc.) and resources (like power considerations, storage capacity, processing capabilities, bandwidth availability, etc.). In the midst of these issues, the emergence of cloud computing is seen as a remedy. Cloud computing equips sensing technologies with highly scalable and reliable hardware and software resources, enabling sensors connecting to the servers on the cloud and working without any hassle.

This Special Issue seeks to bring together research that sheds light on the ways in which sensing technologies and cloud computing will mutually shape the future of the next generation of information technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Next generation sensing technologies built around cloud computing capabilities
  • Cloud computing support for mainstream sensing technologies
  • Service-oriented sensing theories, models and technologies
  • Management tools for next generation sensing cloud platforms
  • Cloud-based sensing infrastructure services
  • Security, privacy and trust of cloud-based sensing technologies
  • Internet of Things, Cloud of Things
  • Sensor cloud services, Sensing as a Service
  • Social sensor cloud services, Social Sensing as a Service
  • Edge-/Fog-based sensing services

The digital transformation disrupts the various professional domains in different ways, though one aspect is common: the unified platform known as cloud computing. Corporate solutions, IoT systems, analytics, business intelligence, and numerous tools, solutions and systems use cloud computing as a global platform. The migrations to the cloud are increasing, causing it to face new challenges and complexities. One of the essential segments is related to data storage. Data storage on the cloud is neither simplistic nor conventional; rather, it is becoming more and more complex due to the versatility and volume of data. The inspiration of this research is based on the development of a framework that can provide a comprehensive solution for cloud computing storage in terms of replication, and instead of using formal recovery channels, erasure coding has been proposed for this framework, which in the past proved itself as a trustworthy mechanism for the job. The proposed framework provides a hybrid approach to combine the benefits of replication and erasure coding to attain the optimal solution for storage, specifically focused on reliability and recovery. Learning and training mechanisms were developed to provide dynamic structure building in the future and test the data model. RAID architecture is used to formulate different configurations for the experiments. RAID-1 to RAID-6 are divided into two groups, with RAID-1 to 4 in the first group while RAID-5 and 6 are in the second group, further categorized based on FTT, parity, failure range and capacity. Reliability and recovery are evaluated on the rest of the data on the server side, and for the data in transit at the virtual level. The overall results show the significant impact of the proposed hybrid framework on cloud storage performance. RAID-6c at the server side came out as the best configuration for optimal performance. The mirroring for replication using RAID-6 and erasure coding for recovery work in complete coherence provide good results for the current framework while highlighting the interesting and challenging paths for future research Full article
