GIS in the Management and Monitoring of Transport System (Published)

This paper presents the transportation system in Khartoum state in Sudan. Transportation systems in Khartoum state, managed by two separated bodies within the Ministry of Transport & Infrastructure. those are (road bridges authority and transportation department). This led to duplication of planning and overstrain administrative and large financial cost. The data gather from the Transportation Department of the Ministry of Infrastructure and transportation. Then an integration scenario for the management is proposed and a monitoring tool was implemented using Geographical information system. GIS data modeling has been proposed to create by languages php connected by free geo database. The results of the simulation show The administration has been able to solve the problem of transportation crises and traffic jams currently and in the future.

A Comprehensive Survey of Cloud Monitoring (Published)

Cloud monitoring is an undertaking that helps to maintain applications active and perform constantly well. Cloud monitoring services collect a range of information about applications’ performance, storage, servers and networks within a provider’s ecosystem. A well-designed monitoring infrastructure, which does the aforementioned prerequisites, must be scalable and support various important performance parameters. Cloud monitoring is essential for both cloud users and providers. Along with, it is a central tool for managing software and hardware infrastructure. Moreover, it furnishes information and key performance indicators for cloud layer services. In cloud computing, monitoring has two types namely high-level and low-level monitoring. The high-level monitoring is for virtual platform status while the low level is related to the physical infrastructure. Furthermore, two types of cloud network monitoring are underlay and overlay. In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive survey and discussion in respect of high level, low level, underlay and overlay cloud monitoring. A generalize metric grouping for high level, low level, underlay, and overlay cloud monitoring were established.

MONITORING DATA IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEM (Published)

At present distributed computing is one of the most exploited computing platforms with the emerging techniques like cloud computing. Therefore it is becoming essential to understand all features of the distributed computing; by setting up the hardware to applications of several software’s on the distributed systems possibly the most significant factor is “monitoring service”. Distributed Computing System (DCS) aims at attaining higher execution speed than the one obtainable with uni-processor system by exploiting the collaboration of multiple computing nodes interconnected in some fashion. Present paper focused on the importance of DCS and its major role in monitoring data, earlier DCS models which has been developed to monitor data along with its advantages and limitations. Finally paper focuses on cost optimization using DCS in general. Monitoring is an important tool for program visualisation, debugging, testing, and development. Thus there is a need to develop the generic monitoring service to support all aspects of management in a distributed system
