Technology systems typically are high-energy consumers especially when considering the distinct number of systems encountered in education. Efforts at curbing this consumption to create an efficient technology environment require well-developed tactical and strategic plans. Organizations can begin this journey by developing a road map for a sustainability program. Three technologies, cloud computing, server virtualization, and desktop virtualization, offer great promise and should be a part of the green roadmap for schools. Cloud computing capitalizes on the power of broadband networking to engage needed resources regardless of location and thus creates synergies to reduce energy consumption. Server virtualization allows the school to reduce the number of servers needed while increasing server optimization within the organization. Desktop virtualization meets multiple goals and objectives; it reduces energy and lowers related costs, while at the same time providing more control and flexibility in meeting the technology needs of the organization. This chapter discusses these technologies, their impact, and encourages school administrators to develop strategic as well as tactical plans for creating an energy efficient technology approach.

With a fast growing pervasive computing, especially cloud computing, the behaviour measurement is at the core and plays a vital role. A new behaviour measurement tailored for Multitenants in cloud computing is needed urgently to fundamentally establish trust relationship. Based on our previous research, we propose an improved trust relationship scheme which captures the world of cloud computing where multitenants share the same physical computing platform. Here, we first present the related work on multitenant behaviour; secondly, we give the scheme of behaviour measurement where decoupling of multitenants is taken into account; thirdly, we explicitly explain our decoupling algorithm for multitenants; fourthly, we introduce a new way of similarity calculation for deviation control, which fits the coupled multitenants under study well; lastly, we design the experiments to test our scheme.

In recent times the world has seen an exponential rise in the number of devices connected to the internet. This widespread expansion of the internet and growth in the number of interconnected devices has lead to the rise of many new age technologies. Internet of Things (IoT) being one of them allows devices to communicate with one another that are connected through the internet. It provides a new way of looking towards pervasive computing wherein "things" be it sensors, embedded devices, actuators or humans interact with one another. But currently IoT is facing a number of challenges related to scalability, interoperability, storage capacity, processing power and security which all act as a deterrent for its practical implementation. Cloud computing, the buzzword of the IT industry, suits best to handle all these challenges, thus leading towards the integration of cloud and IoT. In this paper, we present a layered architecture for Cloud of Things, i.e. the amalgamation of cloud computing and internet of things. The architecture provides a scalable approach for IoT as it allows dynamic addition of n-number of "things". Moreover, the architecture allows the end users to host their applications onto the cloud and access IoT systems remotely. Towards the end, the paper discusses a use case that proves the correctness of the proposed architecture.

Mobile cloud is the infrastructure that facilitates the offloading of storage and computing resources of mobile devices pertaining mobile applications to cloud computing. Mobile devices can run expensive applications using mobile cloud as they can outsource services to cloud while providing interface for mobile users. Emerging mobile applications that are expensive can overcome the inherent problems of hand held devices through the concept of mobile cloud computing. The offloading process provide mobiles a rich platform for pervasive computing with on-demand services linked to cloud computing through mobile cloud infrastructure. Thus the mobile cloud computing is an inevitable phenomenon which bring about plethora of pros besides the mobility. The mobile cloud users can perform their resource intensive operations on the fly without time and geographical restrictions. In spite of the advantages it bestows mobile cloud computing has its own security issues. This paper throws light into the security issues and solutions in terms of secure channels transmission in mobile cloud computing. In this paper, we present state-of-the-art of mobile cloud computing besides its security aspects that are to be taken care of for successful mobile cloud computing.
