Abstract

Mobile Cloud and Green Computing
With the development of smart phones and tablets, the combination of mobile devices and cloud
computing (mobile cloud) has emerged as a new cloud computing platform, bringing new
challenges to cloud and green computing. Important issues include optimizing the scheduling
and transport schemes, access management, and application optimization, for mobile devices to
achieve energy saving. This talk will first introduce the development of mobile cloud computing
and describe some applications. Next, it will present the transmission, computation, and sensing
challenges of green computing in mobile cloud. It will also discuss the possible solutions from
various perspectives. Energy savings for task outsourcing and location based services will be
discussed in detail. ‘Crowd computing’ combines mobile devices and social interactions to
achieve large-scale distributed computation. One particular emerging concept is the ‘vehicular
cloud’. For example, traffic lights in a congested area could be rescheduled by running the
rescheduling code (controlled by municipality) on the collective computational platform
provided by the cars.

He is being recognized for contributions to computational intelligence in infrastructure engineering. He is one of the most influential and highly cited civil engineering educators in the world. His pioneering research in the 1980's and early 1990's is the basis for many of the cutting edge software systems used in civil engineering practice today. He is the only one so honored from The Ohio State University and Central Ohio.
The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon a person with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. The total number selected in any one year cannot exceed one-tenth of one- percent of the total voting membership. IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership and is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.
Hojjat Adeli via courtesy appointment is also Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical Informatics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Neuroscience, and Neurological Surgery at The Ohio State University. He has authored over 500 research and scientific publications including fourteen books in various fields of computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, and medicine since 1976 when he received his Ph.D. from Stanford University at the age of 26. His research has been published in 83 different journals. He is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the international research journals Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, now in 27th year of publication and Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering, now in 20th year of publication He is also the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Neural Systems. He is the quadruple winner of The Ohio State University Lumley Outstanding Research Award. In 1998 he received The Ohio State University's highest research honor, the Distinguished Scholar Award "in recognition of extraordinary accomplishment in research and scholarship". In 2005 he was elected Distinguished Member of American Society of Civil Engineers "for wide-ranging, exceptional, and pioneering contributions to computing in civil engineering and extraordinary leadership in advancing the use of computing and information technologies in many engineering disciplines throughout the world." In 2007, he received The Ohio State University Peter L. and Clara M. Scott Award for Excellence in Engineering Education, "for sustained, exceptional, and multi-faceted contributions to numerous fields including computer-aided engineering, knowledge engineering, computational intelligence, large-scale design optimization, and smart structures with worldwide impact," and Charles E. MacQuigg Outstanding Teaching Award. He is a Fellow the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been a Keynote Lecturer at 83 research conferences held in 43 different countries. In 2010 Wiley-Blackwell established Hojjat Adeli Award for Innovation in Computing bestowed annually with a cash prize of $1000. In April 2010 he was featured as an Engineering Legend in ASCE journal of Leadership and Management in Engineering. In 2011 World Scientific established Hojjat Adeli Award for Outstanding Contribution in Neural Systems given annually with a cash prize of $500. He is also featured in Buckeye Wall of Brilliance at The Ohio State University, "a permanent exhibition honoring the achievements of individuals who have passed through its halls."
The IEEE is the world's leading professional association for advancing technology for humanity.

Dr. Krishna Kant is a currently research professor at Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS), George Mason University.
His other areas with significant expertise and prior/ongoing work include (a) Traffic characterization of internet and e-commerce servers, (b) Detailed platform level performance modeling, (c) Network acceleration at transport and higher layers, (d) compression technologies, and (e) peer to peer computing. Prior to joining Intel, I was with Bellcore (now Telcordia) from 1992 to 1997 where he worked on a both Operations support and Switching sides of Telecom. In particular, he worked on a variety of aspects related to Signaling System no 7 (SS7) including SS7 congestion control, link error monitoring, capacity planning and personal communications technologies. Prior to Bellcore, he was an associate professor of computer science at Penn State University(1985-1991) primarily working in areas of performance modeling and distributed systems. From 1981-1985, he was an assistant professor in the EECS department, working mainly in the areas of fault-tolerance and performance modeling. In 1992, he published a graduate level textbook on performance modeling, titled Introduction to Computer Systems Performance Modeling , McGraw Hill, 1992.
At GMU, he conduct research in two major areas: security and robustness issues in data centers and cloud computing infrastructure, and energy efficient/sustainable computing in the context of data centers. At NSF, he manage computer systems research (CSR) program in the CNS division and actively support a few other programs such as Expeditions in Computing and Cyber-physical systems. He is also deeply involved in the development of solicitations for the NSF-wide initiative called SEES (Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability) and represent CISE directorate in this initiative at multiple levels. He has also been actively driving international collaboration initiatives within NSF in emerging fields of pervasive computing, sustainability, and infrastructure security.
In 2008 - 2010, he started an initiative on energy efficiency of IT, particularly data centers. This sub-area within CSR continues to attract increasing interest from the community. He also started initiative in enhanced international collaboration and organized several workshops for international collaboration targeted at areas like pervasive computing & social networking, infrastructure security, and computer networks and distributed systems.
In 1997 - 2008, He focused in designing new algorithms for power control of platform resources and detailed evaluation of their performance impact. Another key research was in the area of asset localization in data centers using wireless USB radios and its platform implementation issues. His related work spanned various aspects of data centers including real-time resource management, network virtualization, high speed networking, advanced transport layer features, metering and monitoring in a virtualized environments, hardware protocol acceleration, etc.
