Cloud Computing is the fundamental change happening in the field of Information Technology. It is a representation of a movement towards the intensive, large scale specialization. On the other hand, it brings about not only convenience and efficiency problems, but also great challenges in the field of data security and privacy protection. Currently, security has been regarded as one of the greatest problems in the development of CloudComputing. This paper describes the great requirements in Cloud Computing, security key technology, standard and regulation etc., and provides a Cloud Computing security framework. This paper argues that the changes in the above aspects will result in a technical revolution in the field of information security.
The emerging wireless vehicular communication technology is intended to improve safety and comfort of transportation systems. Different types of traffic information could be delivered through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-toinfrastructure communications. This paper proposes a Quality-of-Service (QoS) supported multi-channel MAC scheme for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), which can adaptively tune the contention window for different services at each node, and dynamically adjust the intervals of the Control Channel (CCH) and the Service Channels (SCHs) working in multi-rate. Theoretical model is proposed to obtain the contention window and optimize the intervals based on traffic conditions. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed MAC is able to help IEEE 1690.4 MAC support QoS services, while ensuring the high saturation throughput and the prioritized transmission of critical safety information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
