MS Thesis Masters of Science (Computer Science) MS Thesis Masters of Science (Computer Science) Model of Cloud Based Operating System Tahir Iqbal Roll No: 135 MSCS Weekend Advisor: Dr Dost Muhammad Khan 12 July, 2016 Department of Computer Science & Information Technology The Islamia University of Bahawaplur 1 | P a g e Abstract The Linux kernel, since its beginning in 1991, has captured the interest of the many thousands of developers and voluminous users. It is conjointly at Associate in development more and speedier pace, undergoing several changes each single day. So the kernel’s importance to several massive companies has sparked a high level of contribution by those corporations [1] [2], as well as the utilization of the many core kernel developers. In a current age Operating Systems are taking too much computing as well as memory resources and are being fully installed in client side. This leads to consumption of too much memory and computing resources and vulnerability of pirated version of different operating systems. In our research, we are going to introduce a new concept of operating system that will use a Linux kernel for system hardware management. This kernel will work with Operating Shell that will be downloaded from cloud of any host of operating system. This operating system works with security firewall and browsing shell to interact with bunch of applications on cloud. As the result of this research leads to client computers hardware with very less computing resources and secondary memory. Keywords: Linux, Kernel, Cloud Computing, Operating System. Memory Consumption, Security Fire Wall, Browsing Shell, 5 | P a g e Research Methodology In this research we will use a base edge approach also known bottom up approach. In this we will first provide the brief study of Operating System and its Component. Where the use of literature is considered and the merits of primary research are debated and brief is given on the use of existing research data. This is carried out for that, we wish to understand meanings, look at, explain and recognize practice, judgment, viewpoint and principles, intangibles in existing research. We will also discuss the Linux Kernel working and its management of hardware. This research will also include the concept of Security firewall, its uses and importance. After this we will conclude the Cloud base Operating System. That will lead us to a new concept of computing with very less resources of computing and secondary memory. 6 | P a g e Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENT .............................................................................................................................. 4 ABSTRACT ............................................................................

  • Tablet Technologies and Education
    Tablet Technologies and Education Heidi L. Schnackenberg, [email protected] Edwin S. Vega, [email protected] State University of New York at Plattsburgh 101 Broad Street Plattsburgh, NY 12901 Index Descriptors: Emerging Technologies, Education Abstract Recently, tablet technologies have grown tremendously in popularity. They lend themselves to a myriad of learning modalities – visual, tactile, and auditory – and therefore may be well suited to use in schools and universities. While teachers in classes work to find useful applications for tablets in their teaching, students have already begun using them at home and, in secondary and higher education, in classes. Unfortunately, often when students use them for courses they frequently play with ''apps'' (applications that behave like software), rather than using the technology as a useful and powerful tool in the teaching and learning process. The current article addresses ways to use tablet technologies to their fullest potential as a important learning device in higher education. Introduction In the last decade, education has taken on a new rhythm in the lives of students and society. No longer is learning done at specific hours of the day in specific locations (generally schools and universities). Now education is something that occurs whenever a learner has a question or wonders about something and possesses a device to help him or her answer the query. Mobile learning is the present-day form in which education occurs. It is not only supported by mobile technologies, but also characterized by the mobility of the learners and the knowledge itself (Sharples, Taylor, & Vavoula, 2010). Mobile learning devices include phones, laptop computers, and tablet technologies, such as the iPad and Android.

  • Webappos: Creating the Illusion of a Single Computer for Web Application Developers
    webAppOS: Creating the Illusion of a Single Computer for Web Application Developers Sergejs Kozloviˇcs Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Latvia (Riga, Latvia) Raina blvd. 29, LV-1459, Riga, Latvia [email protected] Abstract. Unlike traditional single-PC applications, which have access to directly attached computational resources (CPUs, memory, and I/O devices), web applications have to deal with the resources scattered across the network. Besides, web applications are intended to be accessed by multiple users simultaneously. That not only requires a more sophis- ticated infrastructure but also brings new challenges to web application developers. The webAppOS platform is an operating system analog for web appli- cations. It factors out the network and provides the illusion of a single computer, the \web computer." That illusion allows web application de- velopers to focus on business logic and create web applications faster. Besides, webAppOS standardizes many aspects of web applications and has the potential to become a universal environment for them. Keywords: Web Computer · Web Applications · Web Application Op- erating System · webAppOS · Web Application Platform 1 Introduction Babbage and Turing assumed that the computer is as a single device executing one program at a time and operated by a single user. Such a way of thinking is close to the psychology of the human brain since the brain is not able to focus on multiple tasks at the same time. Today, however, multitasking, networking, and multiple concurrent users are common as air. Luckily, modern operating systems implement multitasking, multiuser management, and local resource and device management. This aids in creating single-PC desktop applications, but does not help with web-based applications since the developers still have to think about application-level protocols as well as how to manage resources (CPUs, memory, and I/O devices) scattered across the network.
