In the cloud computing paradigm, load balancing is one of the challenges, With Tremendous increase in the users and their demand of different services on the cloud computing platform, fruitful or efficient usage of resources in the cloud environment became a critical concern. Load balancing is playing a vital role in maintaining the rhythm of Cloud computing. The performance metrics of load balancing algorithms in cloud are response time and waiting time. In this paper we mainly focus on two load balancing algorithms in cloud, Min-Min and Max-Min algorithm.
Augmented reality (AR) has been in existence for about five decades. But, the techniques for implementing this technology are developing only in the recent past. We have built an application using AR techniques with android. We combined global positioning system and AR to build an application for indoor navigation. Though other applications like Google maps exist for navigation, our application offers the users more ease and attractiveness with AR. The data for particular location is being stored in the form of latitude, longitude and altitude in the cloud. When a user visits a location for the first time, the geo location details are entered and stored in cloud. Next time, when the same user visits the location or when a new user visits, the stored information gets displayed about the location. The location details are updated as and when a new location is identified. These location details are displayed in the form of markers through the camera which has been integrated into the application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
