The proliferation of GNSS-based (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) services and applications providing ubiquitous, seamless and secure/reliable positioning is driving the use of high-performance devices. This implies the requirement of a higher computational capability in miniaturized size and low power consumption devices such as smartphones or Smart- City sensors. In this context, a possible...
The widespread deployment of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is pushing the current receiver technology to its limits due to the stringent demands for providing seamless, ubiquitous and secure/reliable positioning. This fact is further aggravated by the advent of new applications where the miniaturized size, low power consumption and limited computational capabilities of user terminals...
Mobile computation offloading has been identified as a key enabling technology to overcome the inherent processing power and storage constraints of mobile end devices. To satisfy the low-latency requirements of content-rich mobile applications, existing mobile cloud computing solutions allow mobile devices to access the required resources by accessing a nearby resource-rich cloudlet, suffering increased...
It is well-known that nanodevice simulations are a high CPU demanding task. Currently, the environmental concern and the green IT revolution have made necessary to reuse the available computational resources being, at the same time, indispensable to reduce the energy consumption as much as possible. Nowadays, thanks to the cloud technology, it is possible to perform on-demand scaling of computational...
This paper proposes a next generation ubiquitous converged infrastructure to support Cloud and mobile Cloud computing services. The proposed infrastructure facilitates interconnection of fixed and mobile end users with IT resources through a heterogeneous network integrating optical metro and wireless access networks. To support the Infrastructure as a Service paradigm, the proposed architecture adopts...
This paper presents a multi-tenancy model based on infrastructure resource capability virtualisation. The model, namely Resources, Ownership, Roles and Actors or RORA, approaches network and IT infrastructure virtualisation seamlessly, thus enabling complex provisioning workflows for Cloud services and network services attached.
This is a positioning paper that presents some of the trends in optical networks, considered within the CaON (Converged and Optical Networks) cluster. The trends exposed are focused on the convergence of optical networks and IT infrastructures, optical virtualisation and the control and management in support of emerging cloud computing applications for the Future Internet. The paper introduces the...
The last evolutions of the Internet bring the fact that all the emergence of novel applications, requirements, services, roles, and the challenges associated to them is being built on top of the same Internet that was designed for handling completely different elements. Converged, both Information Technology (IT) and optical network, infrastructure resource virtualisation is currently one of the most...
We propose the development of a new e-Science infrastructure that would take the best of both grid and cloud technologies, and it would allow different research groups that perform nanoelectronic simulations to share their local clusters and create a common infrastructure accessible through a unified point of access. Therefore, more computational power can be used to perform nanoelectronic simulations,...
This study analyzes a use case where computer clouds are used in the transcoding of media content and points to their advantages in a low cost media distribution solution such as HTTP Live.
Modern e-Science and high technology industry require high-performance and complicated network and computer infrastructure to support distributed collaborating groups of researchers and applications that should be provisioned on-demand. The effective use and management of the dynamically provisioned services can be achieved by using the Service Delivery Framework (SDF) proposed by TeleManagement Forum...
GEYSERS partitions the physical infrastructure to create specific virtual infrastructures, each one controlled by an enhanced Network Control Plane capable of provisioning Optical Network Services bundled with IT resources in an on demand basis, and oriented to cloud computing applications.
Collaboration and Interoperability are the main topics of the COIN IP, which try to exploit services in these domains in the new business model called SaaS-U (Software as a Service Utility). This paper presents a subset of these services, applied to a specific test case scenario: Automotive Cluster of Slovenia (ACS).
