UNICORE and GRIP: experiences of grid middleware development

We describe our experiences with the UNICORE Grid environment. Several lessons of general applicability can be drawn in regard to user uptake and security. The principal lesson is that more effort should be taken to be made to meet the needs of the target user community of the middleware development. Novel workflow strategies, in particular, should not be imposed on an existing community

Perancangan Dan Pembuatan Perangkat Lunak Pengelolaan Data Rich-Content Berbasis Web Pada Oracle8i

Dengan adanya teknologi Internet semakin banyak pengguna yang mencari informasi melalui internet karena dengan Internet seseorang dapat mencari informasi tentang apa saja, kapanpun, dimanapun dan • darimanapun. Karena itu diperlukan pelayanan informasi gambar, suara dan video yang berupa data dinamis yang disebut data rich-content. Dalam hubungan antara antara pemilik situs dan pengguna melalui internet diperlukan penanganan dan pengelolaan situs web dari basis data yang dapat digunakan darimana saja dengan sebuah web browser saja, tanpa perlu menginstall perangkat lunak tambahan pada komputer remote tersebut, dan untuk menjaga konsistensi data biasa dengan data rich-content maka diperlukan pengelolaan data gambar, audio, video untuk situs yang mcmuat data rich-content bcrbasis web. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut maka dipakai Oracle9iAS sebagai server aplikasi, Oracle Portal sebagai perangkat pembangun aplikasi, Oracle Database 8.1.7, Oracle lnterMedia sebagai catridge untuk menyimpan data richcontent, RealServer sebagai server streaming. Semua komponen tersebut diatas diintegrasikan untuk menghasilkan aplikasi yang akan memberikan kemudahan bagi administrator dalam mengelola situs web-nya dan pengguna dalam mengakses informasi. " Aplikasi ini memungkinkan Administrator atau pihak penyedia jasa dapat mengelola situs secara cepat dan mudah. Terutama untuk mengelola data richcontent dimana administrator tidak perlu melakukan transfer data melalui p.rotokol FTP sebagaimana jika content yang akan ditampilkan berupa file, selain itu konsistensi data biasa dengan data rich-content dapat terjaga. Aplikasi ini memungkinkan lebih dari dua administrator melakukan update pada suatu data yang sama pada saat yang hampir bersamaan. Data rich-content yang diinputkan ke dalam database tidak mengalami perubahan ukuran maupun perubahan kualitas-nya, atribut-atribut pada file content tersebut dapat diketahui melalui data atribut record dalam database yang bersesuaian

WebTed : ein System für Webbasierte Telediagnostik

Es wird das WebTed-System für webbasierte Telediagnostik vorgestellt. Es unterstützt drei Aspekte der Telepathologie: statische, dynamische und quantitative Telepathologie. Statische Telepathologie wird für Expertenkonsultationen eingesetzt. Mit einem Webbrowser werden klinische Daten und Bilder zu einem Fall durch einen Referenten auf einem Server abgelegt. Ein auf dem Server abgelegter Fall wird entweder durch einen einzelnen Konsultanten befundet oder durch mehrere Experten gemeinsam in einer Konferenzsitzung. Nachteil dieser Telepathologie ist die feste Vorgabe der Ausschnitte eines Präparats. Diesen Nachteil behebt die dynamische Telepathologie. Der Konsultant bedient ein ferngesteuertes Mikroskop und hat selber die Kontrolle über die Bildselektion. Dabei lassen sich alle wesentlichen Funktionen des Mikroskops wie z.B. Fokus, Objektiv und Licht ferngesteuert bedienen. Zweck der quantitativen Telediagnostik ist die Bestimmung von Parametern zur Beschreibung von Gewebestrukturen wie z.B. der Zellmorphologie (Form, Struktur, Verteilung, Häufigkeit) oder molekularbiologischen Parametern (Aktivität des H19 Gens), die zu einer Objektivierung der Diagnose beitragen: Die Bestimmung dieser Parameter wird vollautomatisch vom Computer durchgeführt und ist deshalb nicht durch die Subjektivität eines Pathologen beeinflußbar. Als Client wird ein vom Webserver heruntergeladenes Java Applet verwendet, mit dem man Zugriff auf die statische, dynamische und quantitative Telepathologie hat. Auf dem Server wird eine SQL-Datenbank zur Speicherung von Daten zu Bildern und Fällen eingesetzt, ein Konferenzserver koordiniert den Datenaustausch zwischen den Clients während der Onlinekonsultationen, ein CORBA ORB stellt ein Modul zur Fernsteuerung eines Mikroskops für die dynamische Telepathologie bereit, und die Bildverarbeitungskomponente wird für die quantitative Analyse der Bilddaten im Rahmen der quantitativen Telepathologie eingesetzt

SWIG users manual (version 1.1)

technical reportSWIG is a tool for solving problems. More specifically, SWIG is a simple tool for building interactive C, C++, or Objective-C programs with common scripting languages such as Tel, Perl, and Python. Of course, more importantly, SWIG is a tool for making C programming more enjoyable and promoting laziness (an essential feature). SWIG is not part of an overgrown software engineering project, an attempt to build some sort of monolithic programming environment, or an attempt to force everyone to rewrite all of their code (ie. code reuse). In fact, none of these things have ever been a priority. SWIG was originally developed in the Theoretical Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory for building interfaces to large materials science research simulations being run on the Connection Machine 5 supercomputer

Modelo para el análisis de arquitecturas de intermediación electrónica

La tecnología asociada al mundo del comercio electrónico la visto durante estos años como se pasaba de un periodo de incertidumbre inicial, a un período de tremendo opitimismo en el que, coincidiendo con el auge de las empresas "punto-com" se dsarro1laron rápidamente muchas tecnologías de todo tipo. Actualmente, diferentes combinaciones tecnológicas han llevado a la construcción de arquitecturas, aplicaciones y plataformas con propósitos diversos que necesariamente han de convivir e interaccionar entre ellas. Por ese motivo, se aprecia la notable necesidad de desarrollar nuevas tecnologías y mecanismos orientados principalmente a salvar toda esta heterogéneidad existente. Esta tesis parte del hecho de que la gran cantidad de tecnologías diferentes y las características tan particulares del entorno que las engloba, han elevado la complejidad del sector de forma muy considerable. Por un lado, a los desarrolladores de aplicaciones se les exigen unc conocimientos detallados sobre muchas tecnologías distintas. Por otro, muchas empresas se están viendo forzadas a cambiar sus procedimientos de selección tecnológica pues el clásico esquema de desarrollo&medida, empieza a no ser rentable. Además, el ritmo de aparición y evolución de tecnologías y arquitecturas sigue siendo alto y cada vez resulta más complicado analizarlas o clasificarlas. Apoyándose en diversos criterios que surgen de la formalización del concepto de complejidad, se propone un modelo genérico para facilitar el análisis de las características de las arquitecturas de comercio electrónico centrándose principalmente en los aspectos tecnológicos de las mismas y haciendo especial hincapié en las platafornas de intermediación electrónica

Evaluation of alternate programming languages to JavaScript

The development of web applications for desktop and mobile has surged in recent years. The most popular web scripting language is JavaScript because all the browsers support it and its role as a scripting language of the WWW. It is a powerful and flexible language. However, it also has some shortcomings. For this reason, over the last few years many different web scripting languages have appeared, they give the solutions to the shortcomings of JavaScript. In this thesis a number of emerging web scripting languages are surveyed and the most popular option, CoffeeScript, TypeScript and Dart, are evaluated in detailed level. We will explain what a scripting language is and how it works, JavaScript‘s problems in developing a web application, list of available scripting languages for web clients, the motivation behind these languages and their features that they add to JavaScript. In order to show the results, an example web application is developed in all the languages. The main conclusion extracted of this thesis is that these languages address the shortcomings of the JavaScript such as they all have the compile time checking for errors, CoffeeScript adds the syntactic sugar to JavaScript syntax, object-orientation, inheritance. TypeScript and Dart have the type checking, modules and generics. Dart also supports the concurrency with isolates. It is easy to develop and maintain the complex and large scale applications in these languages
