Introduction Faults occur in every system which may halt the systems functionality. A fault that presents different symptoms to different observers is called a Byzantine fault. These Byzantine faults form the reason for the loss of a system service and are called Byzantine failures. A Byzantine failure may occur due to arbitrary problems like corruption in their local state, production of incorrect outputs or by processing requests incorrectly instead of the general situations like crashing or stopping

section{Secure Cloud Computation: Threats, Requirements and Efficiency} In this section, one common system architecture of outsourcing computation is firstly proposed. Then, we demonstrate typical security threats and corresponding security requirements. After that, some functionally work related to secure outsourcing are discussed. The concept of the balance between security and efficiency is briefly talked at the end of the section. subsection{System Architectures for Outsourcing Computation } A common

section{Evolutionary Computation} Evolutionary Computation is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. It is very well-known as its effective global search ability. These algorithms are inspired by biological mechanisms of evolution, social interactions and swarm intelligence. There are several distinguished characteristics of EC algorithms such as the use of a population and the ability of avoiding local optima. A common process of EC algorithms is as follows. Initially, the population are randomly

Ian Bogost states in “The Cathedral of Computation, “Like metaphors, algorithms are simplifications, or distortions” (11). Often times, metaphors are used in society to describe an object or idea that may be difficult to understand by comparing them to other ides that are more relatable. The algorithmic metaphor that Bogost describes is a result of a misinterpretation of what algorithms are capable of. He focuses on the impact of algorithms in today’s society by describing how the common perception

Cloud computing involves a lot of concepts and technologies. Companies and corporations such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft are providing services following the logic of computational infrastructure cloud computing, with Amazon the pioneer in providing and marketing infrastructure of this kind. The academic community has also shown interest in cloud computing, and some work has been directed to improvements in aspects of performance, security, usability, implementation and reliability of the system

notification message to announce it-self to all the sensor nodes within the cluster. All sensor nodes send a periodic heartbeat message to the cluster head. This message indicates that the node is alive and the transmitter efficiently works. Computation phase This phase was performed at two levels, they are node and cluster head levels. At node level, each sensor node regularly sends and receives data from all neighbor's nodes at time amounted to 300 µs which is the consumed time between consecutive

Reliable Computation and Fault Tolerance Web Application Design on Amazon EC2 Keshav Khandelwal and Pravesh Shah Department of Computer Science, California State University Long Beach, USA Group number 11 Abstract— As Cloud Computing is considered as the most influential technology in IT world which provides many facilities and increases the capability of our system without any extra hardware installment. So this paper focuses on the fault tolerance of web

MIS Management Information System Crowdsourcing at AOL Case Analysis 1. A brief analysis of the case study AOL engaged in what is called “micro-tasking”, and is believed to revolutionize the virtual workforce. Micro-tasking is what Daniel Maloney, an AOL executive, applied when he was faced with inventorying a vast video library. He broke the large job into small pieces and utilized a crowdsourcing IT platform, Mechanical Turk, in order to describe each task that he required to be done. Each
