Huge collections of data have been created in recent years. Cloud computing provides a
way to enable massive amounts of data to work together as data-intensive services …

Internet of things (IoT) is an architecture of connected physical objects; these objects can
communicate with each other and transmit and receive data. Also, fog-based IoT is a …

The explosion of digital data and the dependence on data-intensive services have been
recognized as the most significant characteristics of IT trends in the current decade …

The paper considers the blending of computation and communication by means of
complexity. The specific service examined is network self-prediction enabled by active …

The design of Data Grids allows grid facilities to manage data files and their corresponding
replicas from all around the globe. Replica selection in Data Grids is a complex service that …

The data-intensive service provision is characterized by the large of scale of services and
data and also the high-dimensions of QoS. However, most of the existing works failed to take …

Summary The use of Big Data and the development of cloud computing have led to greater
dependence on data‐intensive services. Each service may actually request or create a large …

Replication technology can efficiently enhance data availability and thereby increase system
reliability in cloud storage system. However, one urgent challenge is how to select the …

The effectiveness of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) in enhancing the stability of soft
soils during cyclic loading was investigated using triaxial cyclic loading tests. Both …
