The report presents the results concerning to the decision of the inverse ecological problem as the element of the small city atmosphere monitoring system functions. The purpose of the inverse problem statement is to estimate a priori unknown pollutants masses and gas discharge flows from the industrial pollution sources with the intersecting dissipation zones. The estimations should be received on...
Thanks to continuous advances in both software and hardware technologies the power of modern embedded systems is ever increasing along with their complexity. Among the others, Model-Driven Engineering has grown consideration for mitigating this complexity through its ability to shift the focus of the development from hand-written code to models from which correct-by-construction implementation is...
Currently, the Cloud landscape is a fragmented, static and shapeless market that hinders the paradigm's ability to fulfil its promise of ubiquitous computing on tap and as a commodity. In this paper, we present our vision of an autonomic self-aware Cloud market platform, and argue that autonomic market platforms for Clouds can step up to the challenge of today's status quo. As our first steps towards...
In traditional distributed computing systems a few user types are found having rather "flat" profiles, mainly due to the same administrative domain the users belong to. This is quite different in Computational Grids (CGs) in which several user types should co-exist and make use of resources according to hierarchical nature and the presence of the multiple administrative domains. One implication...
ET-based water resource management mainly includes ET-based water resource management and ET-based monitoring of water resources. ET-based (Evapotranspiration) water resources allocation determines regional consumable water through regional water balance analysis; in the process of regional water resources allocation, water consumption is taken as the main allocation object, and through the strict...
The information involved in the process of HR outsourcing is non-symmetrical, it is a certain degree of difficulty that Outsourcing Supplier achieves to maximize the interest in the process of cooperation. Based on principal - agent relationship and in view of outsourcing supplier no understanding the effort level of outsourcing service vendor, setting up the non-continuous effort level outsourcing...
Work Internship Placements (WIP) is a transversal programme of enterprise internships for the engineering students of UdG which is focused on quality improvement, academic control and satisfaction of collaborating enterprises. The fundamental WIP infrastructure is a web-based intranet platform that provides a complete set of WIP tools, procedures and tasks involved in all internships stages for every...
This paper addresses stochastic dynamic assignment of perishable goods in a scale-free network. We develop an agent-based simulation model in which the supplies and demands for a single perishable commodity are generated at each node (agent) in the network. We match supplies and demands with several pre-specified assignment rules and given various commodity decay durations. A utility is associated...
Rapid tourism development in Jiuzhaigou National Park has challenged the notion of balance between tourist numbers and natural resource management. Jiuzhaigou National Park is one of the most popular natural tourist attractions in China. The current issues faced are threefold; how to manage the number of tourists accumulating in each of the scenic areas of the national park, how to expand the carrying...
We discuss a ldquoself-managementrdquo concept, suitable for the description of autonomic spectrum reallocation operations through dynamic resource allocation and control processes, for an effective realization of the Future Internet (FI) vision. We introduce a specific targeted methodology, in the form of the Generic Cognitive Cycle Model, including three distinct and separate processes (i.e. Monitoring,...
Workflow Management System is a software system that runs on one or more work flow engines that used to define, implement and manage the workflow, interacts with workflow executors, facilitates the workflow instancepsilas execution and monitors the state during the workflow execution. Mobile Agent system supporting workflow management can make the distributed workflow in OA System more simple and...
This paper studied the outsourcing of human resources management from economic view. The theory of transaction cost, game theory and the principal-agent theory were used to study decision making, monitoring and incentive compensation of the outsourcing for the service provider. The essentials of human resources management outsourcing were analyzed and summarized. The aim of this study is to provide...
The absence of dynamic time parameters in the description of application software components does not allow the realization of standard market relations for the Grid. This also inhibits transparency in the mechanisms of the allocation of Grid resources both for customers and providers. Nevertheless, a more customer-driven approach of Grid management is necessary and will have to be worked out. This...
The seamless combining with context-aware sensors and numerous devices and e-home server will soon become a part of our home environment in the near future. We name it as a context-aware home based on ubiquitous computing concept. This context-aware home reduces participations of users in order to realize a ubiquitous computing and automates various services. Therefore, the risk of privacy violation...
This is an introduction to the proceedings of the MWS 2007 workshop held at EDOC 2007. It first explains the motivation for and background of the workshop. Then, it contains a short description of the keynote, each long and short peer-reviewed paper, and the discussion session "impact of various execution environments on middleware for web services". After the closing statements, MWS 2007...
