Real network traffic is mostly generated by an interactive session between applications, thus we feel that there is a strong demand for a solution capable to reproduce these interactive application workloads. For this purpose, we propose a new strategy for generating realistic network traffic and interactive application workloads using container technology. In this article, we also demonstrate why...
Internet-scale services increasingly rely on NoSQL data store technologies for scalable, highly available data persistence. To increase resource efficiency and deployment speed, such services are adopting new deployment models based on container technologies. Emerging container management systems (CMS) offer new models of interaction with containerized applications, exposing goal-oriented management...
This paper presents a first step into theconstruction of an innovative web-based eLearning platformfeaturing Learning Analytics and Gamification called ICTFLAG. The main goal and key decision at this initial stage of theplatform development is the search and selection processes of themost suitable software development framework to guide andsupport the effective construction of the platform. Despite...
Lightweight virtualization, as implemented by application container solutions such as Docker, have the potential to revolutionize the way multi-tier applications are developed and deployed, especially in the cloud. The success of application containers can be partly attributed to their ability to share resources with the underlying platform that hosts them. As such, the isolation provided by such...
The current financial situation, together with the new market conditions, has led to major changes in the ICT sector over the last few years. Many of the services that were once only offered by operators are now being provided by third parties through the cloud. This situation has promoted new business models against the traditional ones. Furthermore, these economic changes have conducted to socio-cultural...
Discovery Service (DS), used to trace the movement of objects along supply chains, is an important component of the Internet of Things (IoT). DS is faced with the challenge of huge volume of data as well as large amount of parallel requests of discovery and publish. This paper proposes a new central-indexing DS system using distributed NOSQL database HBase to better support big data and parallel processing...
This study describes a trial for determining a cloud architecture for science applications. For scientific applications that need huge amounts of remotely stored data, the cloud infrastructure has functionalities to provide a serviced called ecluster as a service,' and inter-cloud object storage service. The scientific applications move to locations where the data or other location constrained resources...
As the Web Services technology is widely used in the enterprise's core business, how to manage these resources is becoming to extremely important problem. In this paper, after analysising the characteristics of resouce management in distributed environment and the main content of WSDM, a novel Web Service management scheme is introduced, and then the main components in the scheme is introduced, as...
Increasing economic and environmental costs of running data centers has driven interest in sustainable computing. Environmentally Opportunistic Computing (EOC) is an approach to harvesting heat produced by computing clusters. Our Green Cloud EOC prototype serves as an operational demonstration that IT resources can be integrated with the dominate energy footprint of existing facilities and dynamically...
The Tower Flight Data Manager (TFDM) is a new terminal automation platform that will provide an integrated tower-user display suite including an extended electronic flight strip or ldquoflight data managementrdquo (FDM) display. The integrated information exchange and processing environment established by TFDM will support a suite of automation-assisted user support tools collectively designated as...
Computer telephony integration (CTI) allows a computer application to access features from a telephone device or telephony network. Traditional CTI applications are commonly proprietary-based, platform dependent and usually designed and implemented by telephony experts. Whereas the Web started with simple static pages, new models, like the service oriented architecture allow application designers...
