Sign languages exhibit the same linguistic properties and use the same language facility as do oral languages. Sign language recognition systems provide a channel for communication between hearing impaired people and normal people. Without the ability to understand these signs, deaf children face a lot of problems to understand culture and cannot reach out to people in their community who could share their experiences and could teach them about how to be Deaf in a hearing world. Parents find difficult to convey their meanings to their deaf children and sometimes...

Cloud Computing technology offers new opportunities for outsourcing data, and outsourcing computation to individuals, start-up businesses, and corporations in health care. Although cloud computing paradigm provides interesting, and cost effective opportunities to the users, it is not mature, and using the cloud introduces new obstacles to users. For instance, vendor lock-in issue that causes a healthcare system rely on a cloud vendor infrastructure, and it does not allow the system to easily transit from one vendor to another. Cloud data privacy is another issue and data privacy could be violated...

There is a perfect storm of the use of cloud computing, and the growth of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is about processing data that comes from devices in some way that's meaningful, and cloud computing is about leveraging data from centralized computing and storage. Growth rates of both can easily become unmanageable. We have some problems to solve. In addition, alternatives are being consider to placing everything in the public cloud because the public cloud, in some cases, no longer makes sense....

Current Cloud Computing is primarily based on proprietary data centers, where hundreds of thousands of dedicated servers are setup to host the cloud services. In addition to the huge number of dedicated servers deployed in data centers, there are billions of underutilized Personal Computers (PCs), usually used only for a few hours per day, owned by individuals and organizations worldwide. The vast untapped compute and storage capacities of the underutilized PCs can be consolidated as alternative cloud fabrics to provision broad cloud services, primarily infrastructure as a service. This approach,...

Data sharing in cloud computing enables multiple participants to freely share the group data, which improves the efficiency of work in cooperative environments and has widespread potential applications. However, how to ensure the security of data sharing within a group and how to efficiently share the outsourced data in a group manner are formidable challenges. Note that key agreement protocols have played a very important role in secure and efficient group data sharing in cloud computing. In this paper, by taking advantage of the symmetric balanced incomplete block design (SBIBD),...
