Mobile application development exploiting science gateway technologies
Nowadays, collaborative applications are valuable tools for scientists to share their studies and experiences,
for example, by interacting simultaneously with their data and outcomes giving feedback to other colleagues
on how the data are processed. This paper presents a mobile application connected to a workflow-enabled
framework to perform visualization and data analysis of large-scale, multi-dimensional datasets on distributed computing infrastructures. In particular, the usage of workflow-driven applications, through science
gateway technologies, allows the scientist to share heavy data exploration tasks as workflows and the relative
results in a transparent and user-friendly way
Sofie: Smart Operating System For Internet Of Everything
The proliferation of Internet of Things and the success of rich cloud services have pushed the
horizon of a new computing paradigm, Edge computing, which calls for processing the data at
the edge of the network. Applications such as cloud offloading, smart home, and smart city
are idea area for Edge computing to achieve better performance than cloud computing. Edge
computing has the potential to address the concerns of response time requirement, battery life
constraint, bandwidth cost saving, as well as data safety and privacy.
However, there are still some challenges for applying Edge computing in our daily life. The
missing of the specialized operating system for Edge computing is holding back the flourish of
Edge computing applications. Service management, device management, component selection
as well as data privacy and security is also not well supported yet in the current computing
structure.
To address the challenges for Edge computing systems and applications in these aspects, we
have planned a series of empirical and theoretical research. We propose SOFIE: Smart Operating
System For Internet Of Everything. SOFIE is the operating system specialized for Edge
computing running on the Edge gateway. SOFIE could establish and maintain a reliable connection
between cloud and Edge device to handle the data transportation between gateway and
Edge devices; to provide service management and data management for Edge applications; to
protect data privacy and security for Edge users; to guarantee the wellness of the Edge devices.
Moreover, SOFIE also provide a naming mechanism to connect Edge device more efficiently.
To solve the component selection problem in Edge computing paradigm, SOFIE also include
our previous work, SURF, as a model to optimize the performance of the system. Finally,
we deployed the design of SOFIE on an IoT/M2M system and support semantics with access
control
Advances in Grid Computing
This book approaches the grid computing with a perspective on the latest achievements in the field, providing an insight into the current research trends and advances, and presenting a large range of innovative research papers. The topics covered in this book include resource and data management, grid architectures and development, and grid-enabled applications. New ideas employing heuristic methods from swarm intelligence or genetic algorithm and quantum encryption are considered in order to explain two main aspects of grid computing: resource management and data management. The book addresses also some aspects of grid computing that regard architecture and development, and includes a diverse range of applications for grid computing, including possible human grid computing system, simulation of the fusion reaction, ubiquitous healthcare service provisioning and complex water systems
