Energy interconnection (EI) is a logical consequence when ideas of open source and distributed scheme from the information field are introduced into the energy field. EI is essentially a typical cyber-physical system. This paper studies the new capabilities in sensing, computation, communication and control by analyzing its characteristics and demand. Firstly, we analyze the system architecture of...
Development and implementation of appropriate e-services as well as revenue generation are key to deploying and sustaining ICT installations in poor areas in developing countries. The area of e-Health is a promising area for e-Services that are important to populations in poor areas and health service organisations that are already spending money on different health initiatives in these areas. This...
Smart spaces are currently developed for different kinds of applications. We want to describe a smart space for the production of tailor-made clothes. In the paper, we review the production process for tailor-made clothes. Then, we describe the architecture for the smart production space. We describe the advantages of such a model for different commercial services that can be linked to the online...
This paper provides an overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) with emphasis on enabling technologies, protocols, and application issues. The IoT is enabled by the latest developments in RFID, smart sensors, communication technologies, and Internet protocols. The basic premise is to have smart sensors collaborate directly without human involvement to deliver a new class of applications. The current...
The over 40-year old Internet, which was designed and proposed with the intention to interconnect several computing resources across a geographically distributed user group, is now facing many unprecedented challenges especially from the increasingly abundant demands in future networks. Traditional IP protocol can hardly deal with the challenges due to the single function and low QoS. In this paper,...
Nowadays QoS enabled real time services are demanding and dominating over Internet. However, providing end-to-end QoS requirement across Internet is still a challenge. With changing challenges and demands, service providers should be able to implement their strategic and business policies dynamically. Therefore current Internet architecture needs a change to support the present and future requirements,...
The constantly increasing dynamics of the world economy and the shift of business values in accordance with the new values of the current society has lead to the development of new Internet oriented Enterprise Systems. This paper is concerned with the transformation of such systems in regard to the new paradigms of Future Internet and Cyber -- Physical Systems. A Distributed Semantic Middleware is...
This paper presents Halos Networks as an architectural paradigm for developing ubiquitous networking and computing services at the edge of the networks A Halos Network is like a wireless network spontaneously emerging through the interactions of distributed resources embedding wireless communication capabilities. Halos Networks are capable of delivering services and data virally through multiple devices,...
Network Virtualization is currently considered as one of the most important approaches to the development of future Internet architecture. In addition to paperwork, most related works also need to be evaluated and verified through testbed. Some large- scale research network test platforms are designed. But they are not suitable for researchers to carry out small-scale network virtualization experiments,...
IoT (Internet of Things) resources could be conceived as service end-points for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) platforms, i.e. Things/Resources as a Service (TaaS or RaaS). Moreover, technologies involved in this platforms, provide to devices the needed capabilities to expose their services in a straightforward manner. Consequently, a solid, well-designed M2M/IoT platform should provide the basis for the...
To date, most of the revenues from mobile Internet services have been flowing to online content owners, advertisers and other Internet players. To challenge this development, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are focusing on the consumer experience during service execution. As networks migrate to an all-IP environment, this quality of experience (QoE) is a critical part in building users' trust...
This paper presents AFICUS, an architecture and implementation of a technology dedicated to pushing current Internet content consumer to become a prosumer (fully acting as content producer and consumer). To make this possible, AFICUS behaves as a middleware intercepting and analyzing the whole spectrum of the actual technological communications (mobile phone, social networks, IPTV, etc.). Thanks to...
To live up to its promised business impact, the emerging Internet of Things must be accompanied by new ways to decentralize and adapt business logic for smart objects. Smart object lifecycle management refers to the decentralized, event-based, context-sensitive execution and adaptation of processes by smart physical objects during their path through different domains and their interaction with other...
Network convergence is a trend of development of network technology. The research on next generation of convergence network puts emphasis on network architecture. Based on the summary and analysis of the research on the existing convergence network architecture; the basic clues of the research have been given. On that basis, the main problems of the existing researches are put forward and the new...
The contemporary business environment can be seen as a logical effect of eBusiness, advanced integrated networks, and software services. In such an environment application deployment models have revolutionized the way businesses interact, collaborate and transact with customers, suppliers, partners, employees and shareholders. The purpose of our work is to develop a generic model for performance analysis...
WebGIS development is currently based on the reuse of existing components. There has been an increase in both the number of new components available and the functions demanded by customers. There are also a larger number of firms working on the WebGIS domain so that competition is harder than ever. To deal with this new market situation, SIGTel Geomatica has to improve its development process and...
In this paper, we present an online application service system which includes a SaaS platform server. We applied code generation and metadata model technology in order to serve multiple tenants with a single instance of web based online application.
With the characteristics of open source, excellent index structure and system architecture, Lucene promotes the application of full-text retrieval technology in various industries and fields greatly. In this paper, the system architecture and operational mechanism of Lucene were discussed. Further, according to the requirement of external network information leakage monitoring and querying system,...
With wide deployment of distributed inter-enterprise Service Delivery Platforms (SDPs) by the majority of enterprises, there is an urgent need to understand and solve service traffic issues of this evolving architectures. Thus, this paper discusses a mathematical model for the performance analysis of services availability at the inter-enterprise SDPs. The SDP is presented as an analytical model with...
The vast quantity of data contributed and consumed via the Internet provides an environment where Collective Intelligence (CI) can emerge. This article considers CI in relation to the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) paradigm, an environment that has the necessary conditions for the generation of large data sets through frequent peer interactions. We then examine the characteristics of agency and relate agent computing...
