Fig 1. Cloud Computing
‘As per the definition provided by the National Institute
Standards and Technology (NIST) “cloud computing is a model
for enabling convenient, on-demand network access toa 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 oF
service provider interaction” {3]
A. Cloud service models:
Software-as-2-Service (SaaS): It isa software distribution model
‘where a third-party provider bosts applications and makes them
Available to customers over the high-speed intemet connection.
Platform-as-2-Service (PaaS): Its « middle layer which gives
‘the organizations, institutions or companies a freedom and
ffamework for developers to develop ther ov applications and
deploy them and make customers within their company to access
the resources
Infrastructure-asa-Service (Iaa8): Inffastructue is most vital
among the three service models because it is the basic need to
launch the organizations services over the intemet in a cloud
platform, to make their services available to clients and
applications to run them smoothly.
B. Cloud computing deployment models:
Public Cloud: The cloud services are easier to install and less
expensive or even charge fee, the applications, hardware and
bandwidth are provided by he service provider, and are sealable,
‘he user avail ean only those services that they are interested.
Private Cloud: As the name suggests, ts services, inftastructure
is solely operated and maintained by an organizatioa, The services
are made available on proper authentication, priority is being
aiven towards the client's data security
‘Community Cloud: Here the cloud resources are shared by an
‘organization which is of common interest for every participant
‘which is being par of « community, whose needs are simi
Hybrid Cloud: It is a combination of two or more cloud
Smart farming:
Smart firming is_new revolution in the traditional
agricultural system which uses modem technologies like GPS,
Cloud, Internet of Things, Sensors, Soil Scanning, Data
‘management and Precision ele which increase quality and
‘quantity of food.
According to Wolski] The agriculture industry faces
tremendous pressure to inerease crop production and yields to
meet future consumer demand for food. This problem is
compounded by the population growth of the plane, severelyS10 A Comparative study on Kecent [rends and Applications in Cloud Computing

In an effort to make farms more productive, farmers are
increasingly wming use computing technologies for
environmental measurement snd data analysis. Computing
systems can eutomete this process to facilitate faster problem
agnosis, more accurate outcome prediction, and proactive
‘decision making.
‘Smart farming is intelligent farming system help the farmers to
keep an eye on thei farms remotely. The UCSBII is an on-going
project which is introducing a new software application an App

batch processing (think Hadoop’Spark)
AppScale is an open source distributed runtime system that makes
in very easy to write and deploy network-accessible applications
(Gncluding, mobile device back-ends) in high level languages
AppScale is commercially supported, fcely available, and is API-
compatible with Google's cloud platform App Engine. ‘This
‘means that applications that run on App Engine, also rus on
‘AppScale and thus SmartFarm, without modification. AppScale
runs on public cloud infrastructures (Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (£2), Google Compute Engine, Mierosoft Azure) or on
local cluster resources within virual machine instances over
Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus isan open source cloud infrastructure that
runs on local cluster resources and provides highly available, fault
folerantvirwal machine management. Eucalyptus is APT
compatible with Amazon EC2 and Simple Storage Service ($3)
so that any EC? instancelservice ean run on Eucalyptus without
‘modification, AppSeale and Eucalyptus together im SmartFarm
provide us with a produetion-ready, highly availabe private cloud
system and our users with a vast ecosystem of frely available
cloud software from Google and Amazon,
‘As areslt they have developed a Smart Farm app for wine grape
rowers called RootRApp. RootRApp employs anthocyanin
sampling via Near Infrared (NIR) sensing in combination with
(Ordinary Kriging to implement automated differential harvesting
This use of sampling and Kriging constitutes an example of
statistical analytes used as a control mechanism since the
harvester uses the Kriging interpolations to separate grapes asi
picks them into two different quality batches automatically
> Smart Transportation:
Fig. Sims Transportation
‘As the number of accident is increasing, according 10 a survey
USA is having highest frequency of accidents; the STS ie "System
fora smart transportation” gives futurist transportation systems.
‘Smart transportation uses advanced technologies such as wirelessMULTICON-W: IL-ISCN-2019 4 0T
sensor networks, disuibuted system architectures, cloud
computing, sensing and actuating, control and detection in
‘multiple types of automobiles on roads to improve safely ofthe
passengers, optimized service ofthe transportation system and real
lime trafic situation. STS is coming fast towards the integration
‘of virtual technology and cloud computing in the transportation
field
Fig 6, Smart Driving Car
“The Paper(2) explore new possiblities to enhance the framework
‘of the STS toa valuable cloud computing system, which includes
both machine side and client side. The author has proposed
techniques which consider an internet enabled STS system which
‘can play a very crucial role through using Cloud computing to
‘enhance accident prevention/monitring and control. The STS
system find the destination of Accident and send information to
‘concerned people using cloud which support permaneat services
Tike computing, amateur radio, aviation ete
“The Fig shows the architecture of STS where four layers is
presented from cloud computing to end-user (Vebicle). The
‘communication layer contains a transportation stratum for sharing
of information between end-user via an ad hoc network of to &
‘loud server in the event of an accident. In the trantporiaion
stratum, if we have a Wi-Fi module and a Bluetooth module
‘connected using their respective interfaces to the processor. Here,
there are two processors for processing the dat. First isthe main
‘processor and the second one isthe subsidiary processor. The main
‘processor will ust share the data (video, audi, information about
the location using GPS/WiFi et.) to the clients inthe range of ad
hoe network orto acloud-based server using Interet services. The
last partis the conventional cloud which is responsible of data
collector satum, It consists of various modules for colleting and
‘tansferring data and information like camera modules for rear and
font, LCD module, GPS Module, pressute sensor for accident
detection, temperature sensor for protecting the data which could
be destroyed from excessive temperature, proximity sensor for
vehicular lane change detection, and speed sensor
FFigS. Shows a STS system where we can see the information is
collected using the collectors namely font and rear camera module
for recording the pre and post-accident data. The information
gathered is processed using a processor. The information is
simultaneously sent to the end users who are neatby the adhoc
network without any intervention ftom third party electronics
‘device so that they can receive the news about the nearby vehicles
and the drivers then decide for themselves whether to overtake the
preceding, ars or not In the event of accent, the video recorded
using the collectors and the information about the location
specitied by the GPS module are transferred to a Wi-Fi-based
server so thatthe concemed authorities can have a look at the
evidence stored, Therefore the roliaility is redundant resource
utilization and availabilty can be understood asthe possibility of
attaining the resources whenever they are needed with the
consideration 10 the time it takes for these resouroes to be
provisioned, respective of employing architectures “having
Atiibutes for high reliability and availability, the services in cloud
computing can experience in Denial of service attacks,
Performance slowdowns, Equipment outages and natural disasters,
In order to remove FUDD (fear, uncertainty, doubt, and
disinformation) probably the reliability, availabilty and security
fare important. The level of reliability and availability of cloud
resources must be considered as a serious problem in the
‘organization's planning to sel up the cloud infrastructure inorder
to provide effective services to the consumers.
‘The paper{S] mainly focus on STS based on reliable cloud
networks especiallyin vehicular safety of drivers while driving on
highways roads. This system is going to support various services
such as economy, traflie congestion, pollution and comfortable

Leaking of personal information, secret government document,
confidential secrets about our country defense, military secret is
now & day big serious problem facing today. Uploading an
information on cloud can now easly hacked by hackers
However, the problem comes to military usrs if scientist develop
‘4 new weapon for military and he want to send a launching code
to military admirals chiefs through cloud, how he can trust cloud
that he’s codes will be safely delivered to admirals.
Fig Smart Miltary Weapon Detection Sytem
‘The paper[S] proposed a system which use. steganography,
watermarking, image encryption and visual cryptography
schemes to protect military weapons data in clouds.
Steganography allows users to hide the weapons launch code in
{mage captcha, Visual eryprography shares the image eaptcha in
shares which is depend on number people in group in military
Image eneryption will apply on cach share of captcha, After this
‘watermarking is apply on each shate for authentications between
users and cloud. For receiving the launch code receivers have to

Moreover, so farther is no automated medical server used in the
field of healthcare as it requires large number of specialists to
‘monitor the patins health status data. That motivated to work
for a cloud based intelligent medical server for health care
applications that will aid the specialists in the healthcare. In
‘addition simulated the novel cloud computation model where
each doctor's cell phone or PDA is considered as node. The data
‘fom patient and physician will be collected and stored on cloud.
‘The cloud is equipped with computation module. The
computation module accepts the new data from patient and
processes it, then compares the obtained result with the existing
result IF found suitable, the patient will be communicated with
feedback. In case if the suitable record is not found, the
appropriate physician will be intimated via phone call or sms,
‘The physician ean get the information about patient from cloud
‘The physician may perform various procedures to diagnose the
disease and send the report to the respective patient. Figure.9
lustrates overall functioning of mobile healthcare system. The
steps being carried out areas follows:
> The patient is provided with wearable sensors
> ‘The signal ftom the sensor is eaptured in a Node called
sink through which data will be forwarded to cloud via
WiFi or Bluctooth where the data is stored for furtaer
processing or future reference.
> The dala is then forwarded to CILIMS's physician via
