Sixth Goddard Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies Held in Cooperation with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Mass Storage Systems

This document contains copies of those technical papers received in time for publication prior to the Sixth Goddard Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies which is being held in cooperation with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Mass Storage Systems at the University of Maryland-University College Inn and Conference Center March 23-26, 1998. As one of an ongoing series, this Conference continues to provide a forum for discussion of issues relevant to the management of large volumes of data. The Conference encourages all interested organizations to discuss long term mass storage requirements and experiences in fielding solutions. Emphasis is on current and future practical solutions addressing issues in data management, storage systems and media, data acquisition, long term retention of data, and data distribution. This year's discussion topics include architecture, tape optimization, new technology, performance, standards, site reports, vendor solutions. Tutorials will be available on shared file systems, file system backups, data mining, and the dynamics of obsolescence

Fish4Knowledge: Collecting and Analyzing Massive Coral Reef Fish Video Data

This book gives a start-to-finish overview of the whole Fish4Knowledge project, in 18 short chapters, each describing one aspect of the project. The Fish4Knowledge project explored the possibilities of big video data, in this case from undersea video. Recording and analyzing 90 thousand hours of video from ten camera locations, the project gives a 3 year view of fish abundance in several tropical coral reefs off the coast of Taiwan. The research system built a remote recording network, over 100 Tb of storage, supercomputer processing, video target detection and

Desarrollo de un sistema de seguridad para un juez de maratones de programación tipo ACM-ICPC, que soporte un conjunto de ataques previamente delimitados

Las maratones de programación son eventos que en los últimos años han tenido gran impacto dentro del campo de las ciencias de la computación, tomando cada vez mas importancia entre estudiantes y profesionales debido a que son competencias que desarrollan habilidades como el análisis de algoritmos, la resolución de problemas y el trabajo en equipo. En este trabajo se propone el desarrollo de un sistema de seguridad para un juez de maratones de programación, es así como a lo largo del documento se expone la importancia de la realización de dicho trabajo, de la identificación de los tipos de ataques además del análisis de mecanismos que puedan neutralizarlos. Entre otros puntos importantes se documenta el diseño y la realización de las pruebas con el fin de determinar y probar si el sistema de seguridad soportaba los diferentes tipos de ataques, además de documentar el proceso de desplegar la aplicación desarrollada en un servidor en producción para llevar a cabo la primera maratón de programación de la UTP abierta a nivel mundial (The First Open UTP Programming Contest). Finalmente se analizan los resultados obtenidos al momento de probar el sistema de seguridad después de la realización de una serie de ataques, mostrando excelentes resultados en la neutralización de dichos ataques. Se plantean las conclusiones generales de todo el proyecto y se establecen los proyectos futuros que se pueden derivar sobre la temática desarrollada

Predicting software performance in symmetric multi-core and multiprocessor Environments

With today\u27s rise of multi-core processors, concurrency becomes a ubiquitous challenge in software development.Performance prediction methods have to reflect the influence of multiprocessing environments on software performance in order to help software architects to find potential performance problems during early development phases. In this thesis, we address the influence of the operating system scheduler on software performance in symmetric multiprocessing environments

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical-, biological-, and information sciences to study and solve environmental problems. ESSE - The International Conference on Environmental Science and Sustainable Energy provides a platform for experts, professionals, and researchers to share updated information and stimulate the communication with each other. In 2017 it was held in Suzhou, China June 23-25, 2017

Social work with airports passengers

Social work at the airport is in to offer to passengers social services. The main methodological position is that people are under stress, which characterized by a particular set of characteristics in appearance and behavior. In such circumstances passenger attracts in his actions some attention. Only person whom he trusts can help him with the documents or psychologically

Gaze-Based Human-Robot Interaction by the Brunswick Model

We present a new paradigm for human-robot interaction based on social signal processing, and in particular on the Brunswick model. Originally, the Brunswick model copes with face-to-face dyadic interaction, assuming that the interactants are communicating through a continuous exchange of non verbal social signals, in addition to the spoken messages. Social signals have to be interpreted, thanks to a proper recognition phase that considers visual and audio information. The Brunswick model allows to quantitatively evaluate the quality of the interaction using statistical tools which measure how effective is the recognition phase. In this paper we cast this theory when one of the interactants is a robot; in this case, the recognition phase performed by the robot and the human have to be revised w.r.t. the original model. The model is applied to Berrick, a recent open-source low-cost robotic head platform, where the gazing is the social signal to be considered
