Providing trust enabled services in vehicular cloud computing

Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility has the potential to transform (run) every service on a single platform. Today's cloud computing has become the buzzword (i.e. pay as you go) in the computing world. As extension of cloud technology, vehicle used cloud services to exchange communications over road network. Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) were primarily designed to support the communication between totally different vehicles (V2V) and therefore the communication between vehicles and the margin infrastructures (V2I). Vehicle Cloud Computing (VCC) is a new field of research that aims to study vehicle agents (people, vehicles, robots etc.) as they interact and collaborate to sense the environment, process the data, propagate the results and more generally share resources to exchanges communication. They need not be concerned about over-provisioning for a service whose popularity does not meet their predictions, wasting costly resources, or under-provisioning for one that becomes wildly popular, missing potential customers and revenue. Trust is an essential concern for vehicle users during using cloud services. Vehicles used location based services (during user's journey) to find the nearest location, point of interest etc. This paper aims to reduce that confusion by clarifying terms between vehicular network and vehicular cloud, and provides trusted services to vehicle users with opportunities of Cloud Computing.
