Future smart cities would integrate a wide range of mostly heterogeneous systems and ICT is an essential asset in the coordination of those. The smart buildings, a major smart cities research and development domain, should advance beyond the complex automation tools and the anticipated energy and comfort envelope. The universal convergence to technologies that would enable the seamless integration...
Creative Professionals have traditionally worked primarily in desktop applications such as Photoshop. Today, the creative process also occurs on mobile devices and places a greater emphasis on remixing elements of others' work. Traditional digital media file formats are poorly suited for this environment. Digital Composite Technology (DCX) is a framework for the creation of digital media in a mobile-first,...
IoT (Internet of Things) resources could be conceived as service end-points for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) platforms, i.e. Things/Resources as a Service (TaaS or RaaS). Moreover, technologies involved in this platforms, provide to devices the needed capabilities to expose their services in a straightforward manner. Consequently, a solid, well-designed M2M/IoT platform should provide the basis for the...
Over the Internet, e-Learning has speeded up the knowledge transfer without restrictions on time and space in recent years. In order to achieve the goal of knowledge sharing and reusing interactively, lots of available e-Learning standards have been adapted to complete this purpose. Normally, learning objects meeting these standards are sharable with other e-Learning platforms. Most e-Learning platforms,...
Correctional Service Canada (CSC) operates 57 Institutions equipped with a range of mission critical Security, Communications and Access Management systems. These include CCTV assessment, intrusion detection, radio communications and door control systems. User Interfaces range from colour graphic touch screens to knobs, push buttons etc. Operational and technical challenges include the following issues:...
The use of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) has become more and more prevalent over the past few years. Many IaaS users face the challenge of managing different services and applications running on different IaaS providers. This requires them to interact with different APIs offered by the different providers, and increases the complexity of managing their services. In this paper, we address this...
As the infrastructure for the healthcare system, The District Medical Data Center need to be built at first. The model of architecture of District Medical Data Center is proposed in the paper. Both the advantages and disadvantages of the model are set forth while the view is presented. The District Medical Data Center is “patient-centered” instead of “accounting-centered” in the ordinary hospital...
Nowadays technologies, frameworks and architectures are forced to be service driven, platform independent, reliable and scalable. Application markets, Service Oriented Architectures and Cloud Computing are currently in focus of the new upcoming business models. Based on an analysis of service life cycle management and composition standards the following article illustrates an architecture for a service...
Cloud computing as an emerging computing mode can be applied to the District Medical Data Center. This is a new proposal raised in the paper. The rudiment of District Medical Data Center based on cloud computing is established. A comparison is made between the samples from the rudiment and the samples from the general systems. XML is suitable to both express the multi-element unstructured data and...
Although event recording on a computer system (also known as logging) is of utmost importance for reconstructing and detecting security relevant events, currently no adequate and sophisticated solution for complex environments, such as Grid and Cloud Computing, exist. Current LOG file formats lack of several important factors, hindering automatic evaluation needed for distributed systems to comply...
The boom around cloud computing has reached to crown. Some professionals believe it's an absolutely new trend representing the next level of the Internet evolution. Others believe it's hype, as it uses long established computing technologies. This paper analyze cloud computing technology from different points of view and presents the findings in order to figure out the benefits and risks of cloud...
