  • Cloud Computing
    EASA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY NAVAKARAI,COIMBATORE -641105 DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SIENCE AND ENGINEERING (UG & PG) CLOUD COMPUTING Final Year Computer Science and Engineering, 8 th Semester 2 Marks Question and Answer Subject Code & Name: Cloud Computing Prepared by:Mr. S.M.Nandhagopal UNIT I 1. Define Cloud Computing with example. Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. For example, Google hosts a cloud that consists of both smallish PCs and larger servers. Google’s cloud is a private one (that is, Google owns it) that is publicly accessible (by Google’s users). 2. What are the properties of Cloud Computing? There are six key properties of cloud computing: Cloud computing is ••• user-centric ••• task-centric ••• powerful ••• accessible ••• intelligent ••• programmable 3. What is the working principle of Cloud Computing? The cloud is a collection of computers and servers that are publicly accessible via the Internet. This hardware is typically owned and operated by a third party on a consolidated basis in one or more data center locations. The machines can run any combination of operating systems. 4. Draw the architecture of Cloud 5. Define Cloud services with example. Any web-based application or service offered via cloud computing is called a cloud service . Cloud services can include anything from calendar and contact applications to word processing and presentations. 6. What are the advantages of cloud services? ••• If the user’s PC crashes host application and document both remain unaffected in the cloud.

  • Extreme Dynamic Mapping: Animals Map Themselves on the “Cloud”
    spe492-10 1st pgs page 1 The Geological Society of America Special Paper 492 2012 Extreme dynamic mapping: Animals map themselves on the “Cloud” Eugene Potapov* Bryn Athyn College, College Drive, Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania 19009, USA Valery Hronusov* “Inform++ Ltd,” Shatrova St, 20-25, Perm 614064, Russia ABSTRACT Animal tracking data are routinely delivered in the form of e-mail messages with an attachment or in the main text of an e-mail that includes satellite-telemetry data provided by Argos services. Downloading these data onto a computer, transferring them into shapefi les, fi ltering, processing, and displaying them consumes consider- able end-user time and energy. In this paper, we demonstrate that freely available “Cloud”-based services are suffi cient to take over this workload and fast enough to deliver spatial data to an end-user without a considerable investment of time. The animal-generated spatial data we present come in two forms: satellite data from the Argos service and GPS data delivered as text messages using a Short Message Ser- vice (SMS). We suggest a simple mail-to-map system, which automatically archives data (coordinates, time, telemetry) and displays it dynamically on various internet applications such as Google Maps/Google Earth or Google Graphs. We use the Gmail service to fi lter messages, a free blog service (e.g., blogger.com or wordpress.com) for unlimited-time data storage and the Google spreadsheets to dynamically assemble the KML (Keyhole markup language) fi les. To demonstrate the utility of our mail- to-map system, we apply the approach to two contrasting wildlife case studies—the highly endangered Steller’s Sea Eagle (Haliaetus pelagicus) of northeast Asia and White-tailed Deer (Odolescens virginianus), which is ubiquitous in the eastern United States—and discuss conservation implications of the near-real-time data publication opportunities that our system provides.
