One major chal-lenge facing the usage of mobile devices in the cloud environment is mobile synchronization to the cloud, e.g., synchronizing contacts, text messages, imag-es, and videos. Owing to the expected high volume of traffic and high time complexity required for synchronization, an appropriate synchronization algo-rithm needs to be developed. Delta synchronization is one method of synchro-nizing compressed files that requires uploading the whole file, even when no changes were made or if it was only partially changed. In the present study, we proposed an algorithm, based on Delta synchronization, to solve the problem of synchronizing compressed files under various forms of modification (e.g., not modified, partially modified, or completely modified). To measure the effi-ciency of our proposed algorithm, we compared it to the Dropbox application algorithm. The results demonstrated that our algorithm outperformed the regular Dropbox synchronization mechanism by reducing the synchronization time, cost, and traffic load between clients and the cloud service provider.展开更多

However, current proposals for cloud disk are not satisfactory in terms of the decoupling of virtual computing and business data storage in the cloud desktop environment. In this paper, we present a new virtual disk mapping method for cloud desktop storage. In Windows, compared with virtual hard disk method of popular cloud disks, the proposed implementation of client based on the virtual disk driver and the file system filter driver is available for widespread desktop environments, especially for the cloud desktop with limited storage resources. Further more, our method supports customizable local cache storage, resulting in userfriendly experience for thinclients of the cloud desktop. The evaluation results show that our virtual disk mapping method performs well in the readwrite throughput of different scale files.展开更多
