Protein Docking is an important task in computational chemistry and computational biology and yet is very computationally expensive. This paper presents a study on implementing molecular docking program in the Hadoop-based system. The molecular docking platform based on Hadoop provides the preprocessing of ligand datasets and the analysis function of the docking results, it also implements the parallel...
The 5G ESSENCE project context is based on the concept of Edge cloud computing and Small Cell-as-a-Service (SCaaS) and further “promotes” their role and/or influences within the related 5G vertical markets. 5G ESSENCE's core innovation is focused upon the development/provision of a highly flexible and scalable platform, offering benefits to the involved market actors. The present work identifies a...
This paper proposes an approach to optimize service placement on Fog landscape in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). A multi-tier fog computing architecture that supports IoT service provision is devised. Based on this architecture, a novel service placement mechanism that optimizes service decentralization on Fog landscape leveraging context-aware information such as location, time, quality...
Current solutions for sensor-cloud integration do not offer tools or platforms providing both efficient data management and standardized interfaces for the development of WSN-based applications on a shared infrastructure. This paper proposes a new architecture based on the paradigm of Service-Oriented Computing and virtualization of sensors for efficient management of heterogeneous WSNs data. The...
In the age of Internet of Things (IoT), sensors form a foundational component of IoT services, yet they are rigid with little capability for programmable configuration or reusability as they are application-specific, manufacturer-specific. Emerging IoT applications often deploy a vast number of sensors which may serve multiple applications. Programmability is thus essential but not found in legacy...
Testing large complex distributed applications in cloud environments is a complex task. Developing tests to assess these kind of applications is time-consuming, and requires adapting and integrating many different tools for different purposes. The main objective of this demonstration is two-folded. First, it introduces ElasTest, a flexible open source testing platform aimed at simplifying end-to-end...
This paper discusses the open issues in incorporating trust techniques in the NFV environment specified by the ETSI NFV Industry Specification Group, and analyses the available technologies to fill this gap. ETSI is developing security and trust specifications within its NFV-SEC working group, with the aim of establishing and assessing trust of both the hardware platform and the virtualised infrastructure...
Although Fog computing specifies a scalable architecture for computation, communication and storage, there is still a demand for better Quality of Service (QoS), especially for agile mobile services. Both industry and academia have been working on novel and efficient mechanisms for QoS provisioning in Fog computing. This paper presents a classification of services according to their QoS requirements...
One of the considerable use cases for network functions virtualization (NFV) is the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). With the emergence of software defined network (SDN) and NFV, the mobile network operators (MNOs) that are deploying the IMS look to make a gain from these leading technologies to mitigate hardware costs and reduce time to market. With the use especially of the NFV approach, the MNO looks...
In this paper, we report on a proof-of-concept wearable prototype, called iSeiz, that can detect specific seizure activity, namely generalized tonic-clonic, in epilepsy patients. We first describe the high-level architecture of iSeiz, and then elaborate on its hardware and software features, including its robust and low-computational intensive real-time seizure detection algorithm (SDA), as well as...
The current IoT ecosystem is Cloud centric which can not handle a diverse set of IoT applications and services, especially those demanding real time response. This paper proposes an Edge Computing (EC) architecture that provides an intermediate computing layer for IoT data. The proposed architecture utilizes Virtual IoT Devices (VID) for local data processing, management of physical IoT devices and...
Mobile medical applications are increasingly being used by patients and consumers. However, due to their complexity, these applications are normally only accessible to smartphone users. People using low-end cellphones cannot benefit from this new technology. The goal of this paper is to expand health service platform to lower-end cellphones, so that people in underdeveloped regions can benefit from...
Digitization fosters the development of IT environments with many rather small structures, like Internet of Things (IoT), Microservices, or mobility systems. They are needed to support flexible and agile digitized products and services. The goal is to create service-oriented enterprise architectures (EA) that are self-optimizing and resilient. The present research paper investigates methods for decision-making...
Since its foundation in 2009, the SoEA4EE workshop complements well-established topics of the EDOC conferences such as service-oriented architectures and enterprise service architectures by addressing the coupling of business processes and services and the alignment of business and it. The SoEA4EE workshop also shows relationships to topics of the EDOC such as Business Process Management, Enterprise...
SysML is a prominent standard serving model-based system design for systems-of-systems (SoS). It facilitates the description of complex system design, as a hierarchy of interacting system components, while at the same time enables the independent description of each component behaviour. However, in order for the system designer to decide whether a SoS architecture is efficient, non-functional properties,...
The protection of content confidentiality as well as of access and pattern confidentiality of data moved to the cloud have been recently the subject of several investigations. The distributed shuffle index addresses these issues by randomly partitioning data among three independent cloud providers. In this paper, we describe the implementation of the distributed shuffle index in the high-performance...
In the 5G era, radio IP capacity is expected to reach 20 Gbit/s per sector, and ultra-large content traffic will travel across the faster wireless/wireline access network and packet core network. Also massive and mission-critical IoT is the main differentiator of 5G services. These types of real-time and large-bandwidth consuming services require radio latency of less than 1ms, and end-to-end latency...
This documents presents a development methodology which purpose is propose procedures that allows to transform a monolithic system into an architecture based in microservices the document offers a description of each stage and explains it's implementation of the methodology in an open source monolith application. The methodology starts from the analysis of the business model of a monolithic application...
During recent years, we have witnessed an explosion in the Internet of Thing (IoT) in terms of the number and types of physical devices. However, there are many limitations of these devices regarding their computing power, storage, and connection capabilities. They affect on-device processing of sensed data significantly. Centralized treatment of IoT data has proven challenging for many use cases...
Home Automation Systems have been continuously evolving in the past few years: some of the systems are focusing their attention on providing remote access and control of the system, while others are more focused on the interconnectivity of the devices and on integrating them into greater systems, like smart cities. In this paper we propose a hierarchical architecture for Home Automation Systems, which...
