Internet of Things (IoT) envisions connecting and managing billions of devices and endpoints. This paper describes a smart M2M gateway based architecture to manage the huge volume of M2M devices and endpoints. The architecture is compliant with both ETSI and one M2M standards recommendations. The resources and the attributes of the M2M devices and endpoints are described using CoRE Link Format. The...
With the great diffusion of multimedia information on the web, plenty of solutions are proposed to solve the web users' cognitive overload. Despite the multitude of solutions, the web users are still looking for more and more simple assistant in web using. In this paper we present an information adaptation system using characteristics of the user. Our work aims improving access to information through...
The recent evolution of mobile smart devices and their convergence with pervasive computing and software as a service raises new challenges. Developers of applications targeted to these environments have to face at least three major challenges: dynamicity, heterogeneity, and distribution. In this paper, we propose a service oriented component framework which addresses these challenges by automatically...
In this work, we present a concrete framework, based on web services-oriented architecture, for integrating small programmable objects in the web of things. Functionality and data gathered by the Small Programmable Objects (SPO) are exposed using Web Services. Based on this, by exploiting XML encoding, SPO can be comprehensible by any web application. The architecture proposed is focused in providing...
This paper describes the architecture and requirements of an integrated system that is needed to support the command-and-control requirements of the Department of Homeland Security during crisis prevention, disaster relief, and other critical operations. The architecture is based on emerging science and technology that has been under development in information management. Lessons learned in the implementation...
We describe a cross-layer architecture we are developing in order to offer mobility support to wireless devices executing multimedia applications which require seamless communications. This architecture is based on the use of pairs of proxies, which enable the adaptive and concurrent use of different network interfaces during the communications. A cloud computing environment is used as the infrastructure...
With the development of Internet, the efficient network management of heterogeneous network devices from different vendors becomes more and more difficult. The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) is presented as a new solution. But it can't be widely used in current networks soon because most devices are based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Command Line Interface (CLI). Therefore...
Integration of Web Services and agent technology is still a problem which needs to be solved. Several different approaches have been proposed and demonstrated, however the proposed solutions mainly targeted to translation of different standards. We believe that the main problem is not translation of standards, but usage of different standards together. In this paper we explore an approach to achieve...
Cloud computing has attracted more and more attentions due to its ability to deliver computing utilities as Internet services. Many industrial companies have successfully applied their Clouds with different technologies and architectures. But the existing Clouds are all computer-based and designed for Web browser. In this paper we propose a Cloud architecture which is based on digital appliances in...
In this paper a practical architecture for creation of OSA ParlayX Gateway in service layer of an integrated networks, according to IMS architecture will be presented. OSA ParlayX Gateway is a suitable platform for third party operators participation to provide integrated services in NGN. Third parties without any knowledge of network technologies, by using standard ParlayX APIs on top of Web Services...
We design a component based grid architecture on Globus. The system can be partitioned into two parts: a component support Grid environment, and a distributed user access gateway. The component support environment is composed of component container and basic component support services. Component container provides component run environment and manages the lifecycle of components, supplies component...
The richness of functions and the availability of data make the Web the real service platform. Telecomm operators are using an old approach to a new All-IP infrastructure. This enables the WebCos to become the major Service Providers of next generation networks. TelCos should instead use the Web APIs and the cloud computing infrastructure to build services. They should also provide interworking functions...
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a promising tool to solve the problem of service composition at the background of service integration. Traditional ESB is not efficient enough for dynamical composition; and do not have the coordinative distributed execution feature, which can provide both effective and rapid service composition. This paper proposes a Coordinative Service Bus based Execution Platform...
In order to extend the coverage of network-based services to the home environment and offload core network servers, this paper presents a novel service platform called P-Gate that resides in home gateways such as femtocells or wireless LAN access points. The P-Gate platform allows for scalability through self-organized overlay techniques and supports a full integration with centralized service nodes...
Characteristics of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) make their management different from traditional networks. With service oriented concepts having been implemented in WSNs, this paper investigates service oriented management of heterogeneous WSNs. A services oriented management architecture for heterogeneous WSNs is proposed in order to make better use of network management business processes from...
The combination of the wireless sensor network (WSN) and grid computing in wireless sensor grid (WSG) architecture enables the strengths and characteristics of wireless sensor network and grid computing to be realized on a single integrated platform. This paper analyzes the necessity and key problems of combining the WSN and grid computing and shows a sensor grid architecture which is based on an...
Gathering and understanding what the user need is one of the most important things in the service creation lifecycle. We firstly discuss the difference between the service requirements and the traditional software requirement. Then we propose the service requirement refinement method by decompose the goal of the users. Once the sub-goals are defined, they can be mapping directly into related service...
In recent years, the technology of cloud computing has been widely applied in e-business, e-education and etc.. Cloud computing platform is a set of scalable large-scale data server clusters, it provide computing and storage services to customers. The cloud storage is a relatively basic and widely applied service which can provide users with stable, massive data storage space. Our research shows that...
Test automation is facing a new challenge because tools, as well as having to provide conventional test functionalities, must be capable to interact with ever more heterogeneous complex systems under test (SUT). The number of existing software interfaces to access these systems is also a growing number. The problem cannot be analyzed only from a technical or engineering perspective; the economic perspective...
The Pan-European laboratory - Panlab - is based on federation of distributed testbeds that are interconnected, providing access to required platforms, networks and services for broad interoperability testing and enabling the trial and evaluation of service concepts, technologies, system solutions and business models. In this context a testbed federation is the interconnection of two or more independent...
