Don't Repeat Yourself: Seamless Execution and Analysis of Extensive Network Experiments
This paper presents MACI, the first bespoke framework for the management, the
scalable execution, and the interactive analysis of a large number of network
experiments. Driven by the desire to avoid repetitive implementation of just a
few scripts for the execution and analysis of experiments, MACI emerged as a
generic framework for network experiments that significantly increases
efficiency and ensures reproducibility. To this end, MACI incorporates and
integrates established simulators and analysis tools to foster rapid but
systematic network experiments.
We found MACI indispensable in all phases of the research and development
process of various communication systems, such as i) an extensive DASH video
streaming study, ii) the systematic development and improvement of Multipath
TCP schedulers, and iii) research on a distributed topology graph pattern
matching algorithm. With this work, we make MACI publicly available to the
research community to advance efficient and reproducible network experiments
Interoperability between Multimedia Collections for Content and Metadata-Based Searching
Artiste is a European project developing a cross-collection search system for art galleries and museums. It combines image content retrieval with text based retrieval and uses RDF mappings in order to integrate diverse databases. The test sites of the Louvre, Victoria and Albert Museum, Uffizi Gallery and National Gallery London provide their own database schema for existing metadata, avoiding the need for migration to a common schema. The system will accept a query based on one museum’s fields and convert them, through an RDF mapping into a form suitable for querying the other collections. The nature of some of the image processing algorithms means that the system can be slow for some computations, so the system is session-based to allow the user to return to the results later. The system has been built within a J2EE/EJB framework, using the Jboss Enterprise Application Server
Video in development : filming for rural change
This book is about using video in rural interventions for social change. It gives a glimpse into the many creative ways in which video can be used in rural development activities. Capitalising on experience in this field, the books aims to encourage development professionals to explore the potential of video in development, making it a more coherent, better understood and properly used development tool - in short, filming for rural change
Software-defined networking: guidelines for experimentation and validation in large-scale real world scenarios
Part 1: IIVC WorkshopInternational audienceThis article thoroughly details large-scale real world experiments using Software-Defined Networking in the testbed setup. More precisely, it provides a description of the foundation technology behind these experiments, which in turn is focused around OpenFlow and on the OFELIA testbed. In this testbed preliminary experiments were performed in order to tune up settings and procedures, analysing the encountered problems and their respective solutions. A methodology consisting of five large-scale experiments is proposed in order to properly validate and improve the evaluation techniques used in OpenFlow scenarios
Digital Image Access & Retrieval
The 33th Annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing, held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in March of 1996, addressed the theme of "Digital Image Access & Retrieval." The papers from this conference cover a wide range of topics concerning digital imaging technology for visual resource collections. Papers covered three general areas: (1) systems, planning, and implementation; (2) automatic and semi-automatic indexing; and (3) preservation with the bulk of the conference focusing on indexing and retrieval.published or submitted for publicatio
