Airport terminals will increasingly require ubiquitous communications systems with high levels of computational power to provide the necessary intelligent automation to provide high quality services to passengers, stringent levels of safety and security that is as unobtrusive as possible, efficient processing of commercial goods and luggage, high quality information systems, airport transportation...
Pervasive systems are increasingly being designed using a service-oriented approach where services are distributed across wireless devices of varying capabilities. Service orchestration is a simple and popular method to coordinate web-based services but introduces a single point of failure and lacks the flexibility to cope with the greater variability of pervasive environments. Choreography in contrast...
Nowadays more and more information systems are being shifted to distributed architectures because of the benefits like scalability, autonomy, and faulty-tolerance implied from the essence of the distributed systems. Here, every process is peer and cooperates with other peers to achieve common goal. In order to do that, peers have to efficiently and flexibly make an agreement on one common value which...
It is now critical to reduce the consumption of natural resources, especially petroleum. Even in information systems, we have to reduce the total electrical power consumption. We classify network applications to two types of applications, transaction and communication based ones. In this paper, we consider communication based applications like the file transfer protocol (FTP). A computer named server...
Parallel and distributed systems have intended to exploit local and remote multi-cores and multiprocessors for high performance. However, without popular single-image distributed operating systems, few systems can utilize all resources automatically and effectively. This paper proposed an MPI-like middleware, Pitcher, to distribute multithreaded parallel workloads across networked computers without...
