“…This way, the framework can try to improve on the results of these state-of-the-art methods, which most of the time will result in comparable or better results than these individual methods. There also exist generic systems that, given a certain request, try to find compatible services [23], but these services are targeted to QoS metrics and do not try to effectively improve the results of the individual analysis services.…”

This ever-increasing production leads to an information overload for consumers, which calls for efficient multimedia retrieval techniques. Multimedia resources can be efficiently retrieved using their metadata, but the multimedia analysis methods that can automatically generate this metadata are currently not reliable enough for highly diverse multimedia content. A reliable and automatic method for analyzing general multimedia content is needed. We introduce a domain-agnostic framework that annotates multimedia B. De Meester ( ) · R. Verborgh · E. Mannens · R. Van resources using currently available multimedia analysis methods. By using a three-step reasoning cycle, this framework can assess and improve the quality of multimedia analysis results, by consecutively (1) combining analysis results effectively, (2) predicting which results might need improvement, and (3) invoking compatible analysis methods to retrieve new results. By using semantic descriptions for the Web services that wrap the multimedia analysis methods, compatible services can be automatically selected. By using additional semantic reasoning on these semantic descriptions, the different services can be repurposed across different use cases. We evaluated this problem-agnostic framework in the context of video face detection, and showed that it is capable of providing the best analysis results regardless of the input video. The proposed methodology can serve as a basis to build a generic multimedia annotation platform, which returns reliable results for diverse multimedia analysis problems. This allows for better metadata generation, and improves the efficient retrieval of multimedia resources.

INTRODUCTIONCloud computing provides a useful metaphor for combining capability at different scales. Such environments may therefore consist of devices ranging from handheld smart phones to supercomputers, to serve communities ranging from individuals to whole industries. Cloud computing requirements are also widely regarded as a key enabler for next generation network environments and are expected to drive the creation of both jobs and commercial products. Cloud computing is also sometimes referred synonymously as next generation data centers, with an architecture consisting of network of virtual services (hardware, database, user-interface, and application logic) so that users are able to deploy and access applications globally and on demand at competitive costs depending on user driven quality of service requirements. Developers with innovative ideas for new Internet services no longer require large capital outlays in hardware to deploy their services, or human expense to operate it [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].This technology is being driven by and used in a wide range of academic, research, and commercial application areas. This use is producing important new practical experience in a variety of different problem domains in each of these areas. There are also new computational methods, such as mobile agents, cellular automata, and massively parallel neural networks, which are particularly suited to concurrent execution. As an enabler, this technology is leading to a rapid growth in both scientific and information applications that will, in turn, enable additional requirements for cloud computing technologies to be identified. These will impact academia, business, and education [4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12].Given this context, this special issue calls for high-quality research papers in the development of cloud computing technology for mobile environments. In particular, the special issue showcased the most recent achievements and developments in the realm of cloud computing. Original research articles were solicited covering theoretical studies, practical applications, new communication technology, and experimental prototypes. All submitted papers were peer reviewed and selected on the basis of both their quality and their relevance to the theme of this special issue. The published papers are expected to focus on novel approaches for advanced cloud computing of mobile environments for future computing environments and to present high-quality results for tackling problems arising from the ever-growing advanced cloud computing technologies and services for future computing environments.We have received many manuscripts. Only five manuscripts with high quality were finally selected for this special issue. Each manuscript selected was blindly reviewed by at least three reviewers consisting of guest editors and external reviewers. We present a brief overview of each manuscript in the following. RELATED WORKSRecent advances in cloud computing for mobile environments have created new topics of interest that included the fo...

“…However, although such simulators have been developed, tests are conducted using limited sensor information, so that only very restricted results are obtained, or large-or small-scale networks are insufficiently treated. In addition, since simulations are basically conducted with those types of sensors that are built in simulators, these simulations are [1,2,23,24].…”

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensors use different types of information, such as temperatures, humidity, magnetic fields, and sound; their communication distances and battery sizes and capacities may be different. Differences in communication distances and battery capacities when the same communication method is used affect the life of the entire sensor network topology. Tests for the maximum life of the sensor network topology require many sensor nodes and huge proportional costs. In addition, experiments to verify new ideas for WSNs as alternatives to existing methods also require large expenditures. Since experiments with the arrangement of actual sensors are expensive, such experiments are conducted using simulators so that solutions for protocol design and verification can be compared through software. Existing simulators are tailored to certain sensor characteristics, so that only quite limited results can be obtained through the implementation of simulated operations, simulations of sensor arrangements, and the comparison of limited information transmission routing functions provided by simulators. This paper proposes diverse sensor definable simulators (DSDs) for the performance of experiments on diverse sensors with different communication distances in WSN environments where Geography Markup Language (GML) based coordinates are utilized.

A novel fault tolerant service selection framework for pervasive computing

Abstract: Background: Service selection in pervasive computing is significant as it requires identifying the best service provider based on users requirements. After identifying the best service provider, when a service is being executed, service disruptions happen due to various faults.
