Apiculture has been a method for harvesting honey and helping crop proliferation, nonetheless late climate changes have affected bee population. Having an automated hive as a tool for beekeepers would help to increase and protect current bee population guaranteeing crop proliferation needed for human consumption. In this paper, we propose an electronic beehive that recollect honey automatically, regulate...
This experience paper describes the process of leveraging the NFV orchestration platform built in the EU FP7 project UNIFY to deploy a dynamic network service exemplified by an elastic router. Elasticity is realized by scaling dataplane resources as a function of traffic load. To achieve this, the service includes a custom scaling logic and monitoring capabilities. An automated monitoring framework...
The article deals with the synthesis of the system that performs the stabilization of the container ship in case of emergency shifting of containers on deck. The ballast system controls the roll and pitch of the vessel using the signals of the inertial sensor data and video monitoring systems.
Edge Computing is a form of geographically and dispersed distributed system. It shifts computing resources from a centralized paradigm i.e. Cloud or data center closer to the target objects e.g. data, user or sensors. By de-emphasizing centralization, it reduces communication bottlenecks and potential failure. Due to the nature of Edge Computing architecture challenges, resource management is complex...
Currently, container technology has increasingly grown up in cloud environment. However, the research related with resource management for container has not been considered actively. To manage resources on cloud with container efficiently, we present the GPSF, General-Purpose Scheduling Framework. This framework provides useful resource management functions, and more importantly it is possible to...
Thales Italia has developed an advanced prototype of a CBRNe (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and explosives) Threat Detection & Monitoring System that features beacons embedding innovative smart sensors, integrating CMOS chip microsensors and exploiting Wideband Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy technology. Each beacon is in the form of lab-on-a-chip already inclusive of electronic...
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...
A survey on the landscape of self-adaptive systems identified testing and assurance as one of the most neglected areas in the engineering of autonomic software. However, since the structure and behavior of autonomic software can vary during its execution, runtime testing is critical to ensure that faults are not introduced into the system as a result of dynamic adaptation. Some researchers have developed...
This paper presents a prototype implementation of an intelligent system called safe system that monitors container security in the port logistics. Logistics supports in the port require safe container status. The main focus of our contribution is to design a system that supports RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Readers of all types (such as Reader Protocol complaint and vendor provided Readers),...
Improved resource utilization and fault tolerance of large-scale HPC systems can be achieved through fine-grained, intelligent, and dynamic resource (re)allocation. We explore components and enabling technologies applicable to creating a system to provide this capability: specifically 1) Scalable fine-grained monitoring and analysis to inform resource allocation decisions, 2) Virtualization to enable...
Cargo shipments are subject to hijack, theft, or tampering. Furthermore, cargo shipments are at risk of being used to transport contraband, potentially resulting in fines to shippers. The Transportation Security Sensor Network (TSSN), which is based on open software systems and service-oriented architecture principles, has been developed to mitigate these risks. Using commercial off-the-shelf hardware,...
Gas cylinders are used in many different situations, such as in research, in industry, in healthcare, and even in the home. Due to demand in such a wide variety of circumstances, there is the inevitable ambition of gas suppliers to improve the efficiency of their business. To this end, a tracking system is proposed in this paper in order to provide such improved efficiency whilst also integrating...
The thrust of this paper is to profile the execution phases of applications, which helps optimize the efficiency of the underlying resources. Here we present a novel system-level application-resource-demand phase analysis and prediction approach in support of on-demand resource provisioning. The process we follow is to explore large-scale behavior of applicationspsila resource consumption, followed...
