Abstract: Traditional orienteering tour competitions are fixed on the route and checkpoints of tourist attractions. Some competitors may attempt to cheat on the prizes by teamwork. For example, the competitor reaches the checkpoint first and knows the next checkpoint, then informs other cooperative competitors to go directly to the next checkpoint. This trick is unfair to other competitors. To resolve this problem of the unfairness, the study designs an mobile app of augmented reality (AR) based on marker-less image recognition technology. The competitors must log in to this app with their account and passwords before starting the competition. The app can augment physical real-world environments of the tourist attraction with the historical introduction and the website address of next tourist attraction selected by random on the screen of the smartphone. The competitors obtain above information only from the app before the specific checkpoint of tourist attraction. Otherwise, they need upload a

Abstract: The growing importance of the cloud has attracted many researchers to look for possible improvements and contributions in the field. Their initiations were driven either by personal interests or funded by enterprises.Moreover, Cloud Computing is continuously evolving to meet users' needs and expectations which make it even more attractive. And one of the most interesting research topics is the service brokerage scheduling policy, because of its importance as a routing policy, which could form a bottleneck in the process. This article is a comparative study and analysis on some of the previously done work in the field; it fully explains the role of the service broker scheduling policy in the cloud and summarizes all the work in a single resource for researchers. The advantages and drawbacks are highlighted in terms of factors involved in the decision-making process. By the end of this article, a researcher will be able to formulate own theories about po
