Grid Computing is a domain in full development. The software known as middleware is upgraded and improved. Based upon this simple words, this paper will show how the software on the site RO-14-ITIM, from the National Institute for Research and development of Isotopic and Molecular Technology improved in the last four month from the European Middleware Initiative (EMI) 1 to version 3, the difficult...
Self-protection refers to the ability for a system to detect illegal behaviors and to fight-back intrusions with counter-measures. This article presents the design, the implementation, and the evaluation of a self-protected system which targets clustered distributed applications. Our approach is based on the structural knowledge of the cluster and of the distributed applications. This knowledge allows...
We present a viable communication infrastructure and protocols to support the versatile data exchange in a network of smart cameras. Each node in network is an embedded smart camera whose hardware/software architecture was carefully designed to meet the performance requirement while providing sufficient flexibility. We introduce a novel scalable clustering approach, which uses asynchronous event exchange...
This paper describes a self-configurable middleware and a node execution platform to support autonomous sensor networks. We achieve self-configuration by scheduling and strategies similar to load balancing (mapping) that is integrated in our proposed middleware. On the node execution platform we decide on the fly between microprocessor and FPGA realization of hybrid tasks. We propose a combination...
Distributed simulation usage in industry has been limited due to its high cost in comparison to its returned benefits. A number of surveys of experts from different background suggested the need of distributed simulation features to overcome its challenges and cost. The RESTful Interoperability Simulation Environment (RISE) middleware, based on RESTful Web-services, deals with these issues. However,...
Developing a large sensor-based observation system faces two serious challenges: 1) incompatible sensor technologies from different manufacturers; and 2) complexity of the data streaming process. Sensor Abstraction Layer (SAL) is a middle-ware integration platform which enables a single interface to view and control heterogeneous sensors regardless of the technologies involved. Although SAL addresses...
It is obvious that big, complex enterprise systems are hard to manage. What is not obvious is how to make them more manageable. There are two traditional solutions for management in IT systems. One relies on administrators, but there are lacks of experienced administrators. The other relies on systems themselves, but there are no important progresses in related technologies about self-management,...
In order to study the performance decline of application servers, this paper designs the customer requesting procedures and server monitoring programs for multi-scenes, which records five types of parameters, and the dimensionality reduction is implemented by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) firstly, then the multidimensional time series analysis model for the key performance indexes of...
We describe the educational cloud layer of our Cadabia middleware. This layer will permit users to specify the machines which will be used for copies of the materials for various groups that they have joined. This kind of “personal cloud” will help to protect data for both individuals and institutions, while making other data searchable by those who have used similar ontologies.
With the analysis of the principle and composition for the MQ Series, based on the features of steel MES(Manufacturing Execution System), this paper discusses the steel MES message communication system by using the middleware of MQ Series. The structure of the system, format of the message and designing of object are presented in detail. After careful analysis of system communication process, the...
Large computing systems including clusters, clouds, and grids, provide high-performance capabilities that can be utilized for scientific applications. As the ubiquity of these systems increases and the scope of analysis performed on them expand, there is a growing need for applications that do not require users to learn the details of high-performance computing, and are flexible and adaptive to accommodate...
Energy Crisis is currently a common problem all over the world. Building energy consumption takes a significant part of energy consumption, so data collection and analysis is of great importance to the design of rational energy-saving strategy, the improvement of energy-utilizing efficiency, the implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction, and so on. Sensors are the basic components...
Due to the shift from software-as-a-product (SaaP) to software-as-a-service (SaaS), software components that were developed to run in a single address space must increasingly be accessed remotely across the network. Distribution middleware is frequently used to facilitate this transition. Yet a range of middleware platforms exist, and there are few existing guidelines to help the programmer choose...
The steady drumbeat of Cloud as a disruptive influence for Infrastructure Service Providers (ISP's) and the enablement vehicle for Software As A Service (SAAS)providers can be heard loud and clear in the industry today. In fact, Cloud is probably at the peak of the hype curve, and already there are identified challenges associated with effective deployment for business critical applications (so called...
To follow the technology advancement and satisfy the needs on the RTI software in the “Cloud computing” age, a scheme of remodeling the traditional RTI software to be with “Platform as a Service (PaaS)” architecture was proposed. Software construction, sub-component functions and the method of interacting based on the remodeled RTI software on the WAN were studied. The focus was scheduling computing...
Until now, high-performance has been the main objective in software for robotics and, as a result, the ad-hoc implementations have been optimized for specific hardware and platforms. Nevertheless, there is a renewed interest in designing robot control architectures to be reusable and maintainable as possible, so that existing software modules can be adapted to new platforms and requirements, thus...
First of all clarify the research background, and introduces the necessary theory and techniques involved in the relevant. Through the management information system access system resources study of various control methods, using RBAC access control technology to design and implement a middleware based rights management that can run on a variety of hardware and software platform to facilitate the conduct...
In this paper the authors address some methodological and technical issues on managing collections of digital documents published on the web by many different and autonomous stakeholders. To cope with this kind of problems the notions of document, of cooperative knowledge community, a set of cooperative content management system nodes glued together by a web semantic oriented middleware, and content...
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open, XML-based protocol aimed at near-real-time, extensible instant messaging (IM) and presence information. It has been expanded into the broader realm of message-oriented middleware. Built to be extensible, the protocol has been extended with features such as Voice over IP and file transfer signaling. XMPP protocol has been used by many social...
RFID device management and monitoring is an indispensable part of RFID middleware technology, this paper presents an implementation of device management and monitoring in reconfigurable middleware, which consists mainly of two tasks: one is managing the RFID hardware and software devices, and the other is monitoring the running status of RFID software and hardware devices. Through management, we can...
