Reading Clouds: An Analysis of Group Tag Clouds on Flickr
… examined several collectively produced tag clouds on the Web site, and analyzed the discourses generated by, and generating, the tags displayed in these tag clouds. By applying a semiotic analysis, this thesis found that tag clouds are sign systems that are made meaningful through the codes …

Towards Dynamic Vehicular Clouds
… of the conventional cloud computing, Vehicular Clouds were introduced as a group of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication, and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically allocated to authorized users. One of the attributes that set Vehicular Clouds apart from …

Humans Among the Clouds
For over 100 years, scientists have trekked to an observatory on top of Blue Hill in Milton, Massachusetts to observe and record the weather. When the Observatory was founded in 1885, scientists’ understanding of Earth’s atmosphere was still too limited for them to reliably predict the next day’s …

Like Water, Like Clouds
This collection of short fiction explores femininity – a difficult term, in and of itself, because it implies that to be a woman is to be feminine in the traditional sense, or feminist in the revolutionary sense – rarely do the connotations allow for much in between. But I choose this term over …

Local Overlay-Based Mobile Clouds
… a cloud service for other devices to use. Mobile clouds are useful in scenarios where the deployment of access points is not feasible or expensive (e.g., natural disasters, heavily crowded areas, military operations). In this thesis, we propose a mobile cloud that capitalizes on locality. The …

Proactive abuse prevention in clouds
Modern day commercial clouds are subject to various forms of infrastructural abuse. Whether it is SaaS, PaaS or IaaS model, attackers and cybercriminals are exploiting clouds to service their needs and using them as a platform to launch attacks and conduct illegal practices. Resultantly, instances …

Digital Repositories in Private Clouds
This study explores the use of digital repositories in private cloud environments. Private cloud computing is a cloud computing deployment model where compute and storage infrastructure are hosted on-premise by institutions. Digital repositories are used to manage institutions’ generated content. …

Evolution of artificial space debris clouds
… is to examine the interaction between the debris clouds produced by on-orbit fragmentation events and specific space systems. A breakup event will give rise to concentrations of debris which, for some time after the event, will have spatial densities considerably higher than the background flux. …

Network flow optimization for distributed clouds
Internet applications, which rely on large-scale networked environments such as data centers for their back-end support, are often geo-distributed and typically have stringent performance constraints. The interconnecting networks, within and across data centers, are critical in determining these …

Airborne lidar observations of tropospheric arctic clouds
… sensitive to climate changes. The influence of clouds on the radiation budget is substantial, but difficult to quantify and parameterize in models. In the framework of the PhD, elastic backscatter and depolarization lidar observations of Arctic clouds were performed during the international …

VERTICAL ELASTICITY OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ON CLOUDS
… experienced by long-running applications on clouds pose challenges in resource management, necessitating elastic resource allocation for dynamic adjustments. Vertical elasticity, particularly crucial for latency-sensitive applications such as stream applications, enables rapid resource …

Rotational equilibrium of C2 in interstellar clouds
… the rotational equilibrium of C2 in interstellar clouds is updated. It is critical for this equilibrium to be well understood if C2 is to be used as a probe of the physical conditions in these clouds. Although new data continues to be published, the model was last updated in 1987. In this work, …

A curriculum on the fabrication of clouds
To draw clouds is inherently a paradoxical act; yet artists and scientists have drawn skies for millennia, setting themselves up for failure as soon as they made a solid mark. Cloud depiction is an extreme case in representational systems - drawn schemas for cloud depiction are simultaneously tools …
