Abstract
Description
Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service over the Internet.
Using a cloud that is owned by a single service provider has its demerit to the customer such as the
risk of downtime or breakdown of equipment arising from disaster that can jeopardize the
subscribers’ business. Data security and reliability due to over centralization of company’s data
poses a high risk for subscribers, hence a call for distributed cloud also known as Sky Computing.
When application is distributed across several clouds with varied interest, infrastructure, policy, etc,
the issue therefore will be how to determine the most cost effective cloud during access time. The
amount of money a student pays in accessing learning content is determined by how much an
institution pay as subscription to cloud providers. The objective of this study is to utilize optimization
theory to determine the most cost effective cloud for mobile virtual education in Sky Computing
environment. This will be achieved by optimizing resource usage for Computer-based Education
through Mobile, Speech and Sky Computing Technology. As a proof of concept, we will design and
implement a cloud middle ware (CMW) to interface with an eEducation system. Access to the
eEducation shall be Mobile, Speech and Web. Through the communication platform, the students can
communicate with their teacher at any convenient time, and vice versa at the most reduced cost.
