A model for providing solutions to the security issue of the cloud computing environment is addressed in this article by proposing a distributed collaborative trust service recommender (DTSR) system. DTSRs are kept in a distributed manner spread over the clouds, and they are used to extract raw trust from different sources. This trust information is based on the feedback by cloud service user's observation about the adherence of a cloud service provider (CSP) to a service level agreement for the cloud-based service provided. Using this trust data, the overall trust of CSPs is computed by using collaborative computation. The trust values are propagated among the distributed DTSRs in the network so that the trust values are available to everyone in the cloud environment. Experiments were conducted, which clearly shows that our proposed system is useful in providing a secure multicloud environment. © 2020 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.

Purpose: The situations of COVID-19 will certainly have an adverse effect over and above health care on factors of the internet of things (IoT) market. To overcome all the above issues, IoT devices and sensors can be used to track and monitor the movement of the people, so that necessary actions can be taken to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Mobile devices can be used for contact tracing of the affected person by analyzing the geomap of the travel history. This will prevent the spread and reset the economy to the normal condition. Design/methodology/approach: To respond to the global COVID-19 outbreak, the social-economic implications of COVID-19 on specific dimensions of the global economy are analyzed in this study. The situations of COVID-19 will certainly have an adverse effect over and above health care on factors of the IoT market. To overcome these issues IoT devices and sensors can be used to track and monitor the movement of the people so that necessary actions can be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Mobile devices can be used for contact tracing of the affected person by analyzing the geomap of the travel history. This will prevent the spread and reset the economy to the normal condition. A few reviews, approaches, and guidelines are provided in this article along these lines. Moreover, insights about the effects of the pandemic on various sectors such as agriculture, medical industry, finance, information technology, manufacturing and many others are provided. These insights may support strategic decision making and policy framing activities for the top level management in private and government sectors. Findings: With insecurities of a new recession and economic crisis, key moments such as these call for strong and powerful governance in health, business, government, and large society. Instant support measures have to be initiated and adapted for those who can drop through the cracks. Mid- and long-term strategies are required to stabilize and motivate the economy during this recession. Originality/value: A comprehensive social-economic development strategy that consists of sector by sector schemes and infrastructure that supports business to ensure the success of those with reliable and sustainable business models is necessary. From the literature analysis and real world observations it is concluded that the IoT, sensors, wearable devices and computational technologies plays major role in preserving the economy of the country by preventing the spread of COVID-19. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Social economic impact of COVID-19 outbreak in India

Hand segmentation becomes a challenging task due to uncontrolled environmental conditions, lighting, rapid motion of the hand and skin colour detection. This paper’s objective is to propose a saliency-based colour model algorithm for hand segmentation under constrained and non-constrained environments. We already have colour models for hand segmentation algorithms, but in this work, we are proposing a new model for the segmentation process. Researchers are actively engaged in hand segmentation to attain natural interaction with a machine. A secondary objective of this paper is to excel in the region of skin color detection for human-like interaction between the end user and the computer. Human-computer interaction is achieved by hand gestures. To make hand gesture identification accurate, we may need to segment the hand from the background. The proposed work in this paper leads to solving the first problem in human-computer interaction. © BEIESP.

High–significant ranwar datamining algorithm for biological data

Spatial information have wide applications, e.g., location-based administrations, and geometric extend questions (i.e., finding focuses interior geometric zones, e.g., circles or polygons) are one of the crucial search capacities over spatial information. The rising request of outsourcing information is moving large-scale datasets, counting large-scale spatial datasets, to open clouds. In the interim, due to the concern of insider aggressors and programmers on open clouds, the protection of spatial datasets ought to be cautiously protected while questioning them at the server side, particularly for location-based and medical utilization. In this venture, we formalize the concept of Geometrically Searchable Encryption, and propose an productive plot, named FastGeo, to ensure the protection of clients' spatial datasets put away and questioned at a open server. With FastGeo, which is a novel two-level look for scrambled spatial information, an honest-but-curious server can productively perform geometric extend inquiries, and accurately return information focuses that are interior a geometric run to a client without learning delicate information focuses or this private inquiry. FastGeo bolsters self-assertive geometric regions, accomplishes sublinear look time, and empowers energetic overhauls over scrambled spatial datasets. Our conspire is provably secure, and our test comes about on real-world spatial datasets in cloud stage illustrate that FastGeo can boost look time over 100 times. © 2018 IAEME Publication.

Providing privacy and dimensional search on longitudinal data using safe computing: A case study

An Eminent technology paradigm called Cloud computing, which provides the vibrant resources on the demand basis.In Cloud computing, multiple cloud users can request a number of cloud services simultaneously. So there must be a provision that all resources are made available to requesting user in an efficient manner to satisfy their need. Resource allocation is based on the quality of service and service level agreement. It builds upon advances in virtualization and distributed computing to support cost efficient usage of computing resources. VM technology has been employed for resource provisioning. This paper primarily focuses on the allocation of Virtual Machine to the user; this work is that low priority jobs (deadline of the job is high) should not delay the execution of high priority jobs (deadline of the job is low) and to dynamically allocate VM resources for a user job within the deadline. The proposed threshold-based dynamic resource allocation scheme is implemented by using CloudSim, and experimental results show the proposed scheme can improve resource utilization and reduce the usage user cost. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology.

Threshold-based virtual machine allocation in cloud environment

People get fascinated about the motor-cycle vehicle in the recent times and most of them come under the age group of below 35 years specially college students. Speed control is in the need of the hour due to the increased rate of accidents reported in our day-to-day life. During 2015, in India a whole of 5,01,423 road accidents were reported which is a result of lack of speed control and violating the road rules. Road accidents can be prevented by adopting measures such as Traffic management, improving quality of road infrastructure and safer vehicles. And most of them are two-wheeler based road accidents. The existing techniques still doesn’t able to reduce the number of accidents and all techniques are for car and trucks though most of them are two-wheeler based road accidents. Hence there is a need to implement a methodology to control the speed of the riders in order to avoid accidents. This paper aims at automatically controlling the speed of the two-wheeler vehicles at speed restricted areas such as schools, hospital zones, hill roads, other educational institution and traffic signals etc. Nowadays the riders drive vehicles at high speed even in speed limited areas without considering the safety of the public. Also it is not practical to monitor these areas throughout. This paper paves way for controlling the speed of the vehicles within certain limit in restricted zones without interruption of the riders. An RFID is used for this purpose. The RFID reader is attached along with the vehicle and the RFID Tag with these Zones. These tags are programmed to send a coded signal when the reader comes in proximity to the zone. Whenever the vehicles enter into these zones their receivers will receive this code and the speed of the vehicles is controlled automatically with the help of the micro controller unit present inside the vehicle and a message alert is given to the rider through the mobile app regarding when and where the speed is reduced. The tags are placed at the beginning and the end of the regions for which the speed should be reduced. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology. All rights reserved.
