The coordination of resources offered by multiple cloud providers to the end users aims to improve the Quality of Service. However, such systems exhibit a higher complexity and heterogeneity, which need to be handled correctly. In a large network of sensors provided by an Intercloud, the role of the monitoring processes is to identify existing issues and further report them for reconfiguration. Faulty...
The ever growing demands of software solutions have led to the development of Large-Scale Distributed Systems, which bring together a wide pool of services and resources. Their composition and deployment come in different solutions tailored to users' requests based on business models, functionality, quality of service and costs. Bridging different parts into one software solution is brittle due to...
Chronic diseases are the main cause of mortality in developed countries. Among them, asthma has an increasing prevalence in urban areas. We propose to use the crowd-sensing paradigm for monitoring the environment, especially the air quality parameters relevant for asthma patients. Asthma is a good candidate for participatory medicine approaches as current medical guidelines promote self-management...
The ever changing challenges and pressures to the healthcare domain have introduced the urgency of finding a replacement for traditional systems. Breakthroughs registered by information systems, advances in data storage and processing solutions sustained by the ubiquity of gadgets and an efficient infrastructure for network and services have sustained a shift of medical systems towards digital healthcare...
This paper presents a successful implementation of an undergraduate robotics and virtual reality course that builds upon the synergies existing between these two areas in order to introduce computers and information technology students to some fundamental concepts, through the use of simulation, experiments on real robots and design of robotic creatures in virtual environments. Course objectives,...
