The document provides an overview of sensor-cloud architectures, applications, and issues. It discusses three main sensor-cloud architectures: (1) WSN-cloud computing platform that connects wireless sensor networks to cloud infrastructure, (2) a sensor-cloud architecture with virtualization that decouples real sensors from virtual sensors in the cloud, and (3) a data-centric sensor-cloud infrastructure framework. It also outlines the key entities and components involved in sensor-cloud integration like sensor owners, administrators, users, portal servers, and monitoring servers. Finally, it examines applications of sensor-cloud like healthcare and issues around security, energy efficiency, and virtualization.

1) Access Control Enforcement Unit: ACEU consists of EN to authenticate the users. The three
servers are AuthenticateServer (AS), SS and Ticket Granting Server (TGS). The AS receives the
request that was sent to EN.In order to authenticate the users with AS, Kerberos are implemented by
EN [28].
